UUCV Summer Worship
As we approach the summer months, the Worship Committee wanted to update you on the summer worship calendar, and invite you to find ways to get together on the weeks when “regular” worship isn’t planned.
You may recall that for the first time last year, we gave all of the volunteers who help make our worship experience happen week after week a sustained break. We are doing that again this summer. It takes many, many volunteers to make each Sunday the meaningful experience we all appreciate. They need a summer break. Our gratitude to the volunteers who make coffee and goodies, who greet and usher, who run the AV booth, and offer personal reflections as worship associates. Many of our staff also take time off in the summer, so this is a good time to take a break. We are aware that many of you also take holidays, or host out-of-town visitors, or simply move at a slower pace and step back from some of your regular commitments in July and August.
There will be NO worship services for 5 weeks. All of July is a summer respite, and the first Sunday in August – August 3rd – the sanctuary floor is being refinished, so we will extend our break one additional week. NO Worship on July 6, 13, 20, and 27 or on August 3rd. Worship will resume on Sunday, August 10th, with a service led by member Brian Short. Our annual Intergenerational Dance Party will be August 17th with Rev. Shana, and the Revs. Lynngoods will lead a question-and-answer service on August 24th.
We hope all of you will enjoy summer, and if you feel so inspired, consider organizing and hosting a gathering/picnic on the front lawn, or other get-togethers.
