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. ______________________________________________________________

The Future of worship III
Sunday, August 21st at 11 am at HUUF
Worship Leaders: The Program and Worship Team
The final discussion in our exploration of the Future of Worship will ask:
What elements of worship are essential? and What innovations could we create together that would advance the Future of Worship?
The discussion questions that will be contemplated are:
Looking at the Order of Service that has evolved as a regular Sunday service, what do you think is the purpose of these components?
a. What is most essential?
b. How would you change it to make it more lively or meaningful?
Picture/imagine yourself up front doing part of a Sunday service?
a. What are you doing?
b. What would that feel like as you interact with the congregation?
If you offered / or were invited to orchestrate a Sunday morning service, how would you set it all up: arrange the setting, choose the speakers, etc. to create the energy and experience you would like to provide the congregation?
Join us in person (no prior sign up needed)
OR… Join us on ZOOM
