July 6   Waking Dreamers: UU Perspectives on the  American Dream     As we celebrate our nation’s birthday, and with the election season underway, we’re often reminded of the unique status of the USA in the family of nations and of the life stories of those who would lead it. We’ll explore these two aspects of the American Dream – individual and collective – with an eye on Unitarian Universalist principles and practices. Come prepared to share your own piece of the American Dream. 

Service Leader and Presenter: Richard Beall  Music by Jane Roman Pitt and Ralph Grosswald.

 Another in the continuing series in which our own members share their stories -- those who influenced and guided their lives; the events or people who have stirred their dreams; music, literature, or activities which became lifelong impetus to a full life.

 July 27   Dr. Seuss and the Religious Imagination.

 Our imagination allows us to innovate, test, explore and integrate different forms of behavior, new creations, new discoveries and new societies. Using bizarre names, Seuss creates a marvelous world of imagination, where hope is born and the possible dreamed. It is where Seuss critiques the world and its power, where Seuss focuses on the incongruities of life, where Seuss invites us to consider something new.  Dr. Seuss’s world of incongruities and power, and of religious imagination through Horton Hears a Who; The Sneetches; The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins; Bartholomew and the Oobleck; Yertle the Turtle and The Butter Battle. 

Presenter: Rev. Marcia Cham,  Service Leader: Diane Graham
