 Read any good books lately???
Our annual “Book Talk” service is taking place on Sunday, August 28!
And we’d love to hear some literary recommendations from…. our kids!
If your youth has a book they’d love to share, we invite you to come share a little bit about it at the beginning of the service before we move into our own RE classroom. This is another way we forge connection across the generations. If your child would like to participate – either solo, or sitting down to chat 1:1, “interview” style for a brief portion of the service, please contact Amy to find out more.

Summer 2022 Small Group Discussion Series:
We begin the greater exploration of who we want to become as a Fellowship in these times, and what we believe will inspire and nurture our spirits and hearts, with conversations about our worship experiences and what we seek from spiritual fellowship.
Plan to join us
This is the last scheduled discussion of the series-
Your input is of great value!
Sunday, August 21
 Again thinking with others, not just listening, the final discussion in our exploration of the Future of Worship asks: What elements of worship are essential? and
What innovations could we create together that would advance the Future of Worship?

Soul Matters begins
If you have been looking to join a small group of committed seekers, now is a great chance to begin. A program offered to UU’s nationwide, Soul Matters is a rich resource for small group ministry. Each month, members receive a new small group packet on the current monthly theme. These packets include spiritual exercises and questions that encourage reflection on daily living and 5-7 pages of recommended resources that help participants explore the themes together in more depth.
If you would would like to learn more about this program, and find out ways to join a small, committed circle of your own, there are a few ways to connect:
1) For those who would prefer to meet in person, DLRE Amy Day will be hosting a Soul Matters “Open House” Q&A, as a way to get acquainted with the materials and format of the group, on Sunday, August 21, 1-3 pm at HUUF. Please, RSVP if you would like to attend.
2) For those who prefer to participate virtually, Amy will be hosting a separate Q&A via Zoom, Wednesday, August 24, 7-8 pm. You can sign up to attend that gathering using the link here.
3) On Saturday, August 20, 10-12, Amy will be offering a separate Soul Matters group specifically geared to support the needs and foster community for the single parents in our Fellowship. We’ll gather outside, share tea, and spend some time connecting and finding ways to support one another on this unique path.

Co-sponsored with 350 Humboldt
HUUF Climate Action Campaign Presents:
A Zoom Talk with
Schatz Founding Director Peter Lehman
Monday, August 15 at 7PM
The North Coast’s plan for zero-emission transportation
—what it is, what it will mean to the county, and how it paves the way for a clean, green transit and transportation future.
Peter Lehman is the founding director of the Schatz Energy Research Center. His research interests include green hydrogen and microgrids. He served as the lead faculty researcher for the Redwood Coast Airport Microgrid at the airport. In 2021 he was inducted into the California Energy Commission’s Clean Energy Hall of Fame in recognition of his lifetime of research advances in clean energy. He recently helped the Humboldt Transit Authority apply for and win a $38.7 million grant to fund a fleet of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric buses to serve local routes and connect riders to Mendocino County and, ultimately, the San Francisco Bay Area. This project, including the Eureka Regional Transit and Housing Center (EaRTH Center), is the subject of his talk for the 350 Humboldt Speakers’ Series. There will be lots of time for questions and discussion.
