August 2: Summer Service – Nurtured by Beauty (Parish Hall and Zoom)
This Sunday, Lois Shapiro, Elli Crocker, and Curt Lamb will explore the deep affinities between moments of felt beauty and spiritual awareness through music, art, and architecture—glimpses that may inspire us to notice more beauty in our everyday lives.

Upcoming Services:
August 9: Summer Service – The Scientists of FUUSN (Parish Hall and Zoom)
Come celebrate the scientists among us. We will hear about their work, reflect on the connections between science and spirituality and address the troubling attacks on science in our time.
August 16: Summer Service – Have the Learned Professions Succumbed to Capitalism? (Parish Hall and Zoom)
Once, “the learned professions”—clergy, lawyers, physicians, and educators—were viewed as vital counterweights to American capitalism. FUUSN member and author Bruce Kimball will examine whether market forces have diminished their influence, and invite us to reflect on our own work and spiritual lives.
August 23: Odysseys – Rev. Joel Miller (Sanctuary and Zoom)
The stories that most change me aren’t about arriving safely — the stories about who we become while crossing uncertain seas. The recent film adaptation of The Odyssey has me thinking about the spiritual tradition of the dark night of the soul. Where do we find the courage to continue our own journeys and recognize our dependence on one another as we become more fully alive?
