“We Who Believe in Freedom” with Rev. Carol McKinley & Troy Fisher
This weekend we celebrate Labor Day, a time to honor workers who provide the goods and services needed to keep society functioning. Many of those who were part of efforts to ensure workers’ rights in the Pacific Northwest became an integral part of the larger struggle to ensure rights and freedom for all.
There will be no more After-Service Forums until September 14th — Happy Summer!
Our Spiritual Theme for September is Building Belonging.

“River of Life” with Rev. Mary Gear & Rev. Sara Lewis
(Water Communion & Blessing of the Backpacks)
We gather to begin another congregational year with our traditional water communion service. Bring water from a place of importance to you, which could be close or far. We’ll have water for everyone. We also recognize the beginning of a new school year for students of all ages. If you are a student, bring your backpack or briefcase, or whatever you have to carry a token of our love for you.
After-Service Forums will resume the following week, September 14th.

“Reconnection and Meaning” with Rev. Mary Gear
At this time in history, how do we reconnect to our values and what is important to us? How do we make meaning from what is happening to us, to others, and to the world? We explore these themes, and send the Transylvania pilgrims on their way with our blessing.
After-Service Forum (12:15 pm, onsite and online, links below): “Hope and Grief”
Join Rev. Mary & Rev. Sara for an overview of OUUC offerings this year to help us be together in challenging times.

Sharing from the Heart
Do you have something that you’d like to share with the congregation during our Sharing from the Heart ritual? This might be an event in your life or a transition of some kind. If so, please email Minister@ouuc.org by 8:00 p.m. Saturday evening for inclusion in the Sunday service. If received after that, we will share it the next Sunday.
