THIS IS WHERE I BELONG
Worship Assistant: Rachel Melcher
Welcome
Opening Words: #443 We Arrive Out of Many Singular Rooms
Lighting the Chalice Flame:
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
Affirmation: Love is the spirit of this Congregation and service is its law. This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love, and to help one another.
Introduction of Visitors
Hymn: #21 For the Beauty of the Earth
Moment of Silence & Candle Lighting
Religious Education Class:
Go now in peace, go now in peace; may the spirit of love surround you everywhere, everywhere you may go.
Offertory: This Little Light of Mine (H. Loes)
Sermon: This Is Where I Belong, Jesse Walters
Hymn: I Can See Clearly Now (J. Nash)
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Extinguishing the Chalice Flame:
We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are together again.
Postlude: New World Coming (B. Mann & C. Weil)
Hearing devices are available. Just ask an usher!

About Today’s Message, by Jesse Walters
Many of us are transplants to South Florida. We came here from somewhere else. For most of us, the weather was a big allure, but a job relocation, or a need to be near family, could have played a part as well. But fantasy soon gives way to reality, especially if we find we don’t know anyone, or feel marooned or estranged from our past life. Today, we will explore some thoughts, gleaned in part from a lifetime of actively seeking out new community each time we relocated, as well as some helpful strategies from the book “This is Where I Belong” by Melody Warnick. How do we learn to love where we live?

Summer UU Matters Schedule:
With the arrival of summer, our summer calendar is not quite as busy, so we're going to publish UU Matters every other week instead of every week. The newsletter will go out on July 22 and August 5 & 19. If you have an item for UU Matters, please plan accordingly and email it to admin@1stuupb.org by the Thursday BEFORE publication. Thanks for understanding.
Help Spread The Word
As we continue to use social media as way to get the word out about who we are and what we’re all about at 1stUUPB, you can help us a lot in just a few clicks (if you have a Facebook account, that is).
*Find our Facebook page by searching for us by name, and make sure you have “Liked” the page.
*Whenever you see a post from us in your newsfeed, don’t just scroll past it. Please click on it and select a “Like” option. If you hover over the Like button with your cursor and wait a moment without clicking, a few other options show up. You can choose a thumbs up, a heart, a laugh, a “what in the world?!?” face, a sad face or a mad face. Make a comment on the post.
*Share the post either on your own page or share it with someone you think might be interested in it.
*Give us a 5 star rating and tell what you enjoy about our congregation.
*If you have the Facebook app on your smart phone, anytime you are at 1stUUPB for a Sunday service or NewsTalk or Teaching Thursday or yoga or a movie or a meeting or whatever, please check in to let people know you are here.
Why are we asking you to do all this? Because it is an easy way to spread the word about who we are and the important work we do here. Plus, all this is FREE marketing! Who doesn’t like free?!?
