THE ROAD FORWARD

Worship Assistants: Board of Trustees

Prelude: Stand By Me (B.E. King)

Welcome

Opening Words: The Pink Balloon, Pat Knight

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: #68 Come, Ye Thankful People

Moment of Silence & Candle Lighting

Sermon: The Road Forward, Harry Wolin

Hymn: #118 This Little Light of Mine

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.

Family Fun Friday: Christmas in July!
Friday, July 12th, 6-8 pm, Ministers Hall
Ho, ho, hot! Let's cool off by celebrating with the tastes, smells, sounds, and fun of the Christmas season in the middle of summer. Kids, parents, and kids-at-heart (meaning ALL congregants!) are invited to dress up in their brightest holiday outfits and come together for a festive dinner potluck, cookie decorating, gift wrapping, caroling, and holiday activities.
Please bring your favorite holiday food for the dinner potluck (a roast turkey will be provided) and a new child's toy, game, or gift card (unwrapped) that we will be wrapping to donate to a local charity (more details to come).
This is an ideal opportunity to get to know the kids and parents within our Congregation as well as invite along some of your own family, friends or neighbors to introduce them to our idea of community. Hope to see you there!

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 pages 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?!?
