** This Sunday in Worship **

June 27 ~ Peace Process ~ Chuck Bryant of the Peace Education Foundation
Our hearts, often, leap at the sound of these words. Doing the right thing and taking responsibility for our actions is not always an easy task. Having a Covenant of Right Relations is essential to a vibrant and healthy community and a UUCM goal. Chuck Bryant of the Peace Education Foundation will help to ease us toward cooperation and compassion in our daily negotiations.

** July Newsletter **

The July issue of Connections is out online at http://scr.bi/d2qdtO and the tree-unfriendly version is on its way to your mailbox. Send a message or call Clara if you prefer to opt-out the monthly paper copy : 304-667-3697 or uucongmia@bellsouth.net


** Reminders for this Weekend **
(see calendar below for regular and recurring events)

June 25: Interweave ~ The films are planned to be thought provoking on GLBTQQIS issues but it’s open to all. This social group is intended to make the LGBTQ Community feel comfortable in our Congregation. This month presentation includes a 40-minute episode from the “30 Days” reality series, in which a conservative ex-military man moves in with an openly gay man in the Castro district for 30 days and the camera captures all the drama! Then we’ll show a 20-minute interview with Chely Wright on her coming out as the first lesbian country singer! Please join us on Friday at 7:30pm in the Emerson room. We welcome your donation.

** Worship Committee News **

a) June meeting is cancelled, next meeting is July 18.
b) Help needed! Do you have  good speaking voice? Do you like to read poetry? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions please contact Raquel Reyes
casitaazul@comcast.net . She needs readers for the July 18th service.


** General Assembly **

General Assembly, The Annual Meeting of the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association is taking place in Minneapolis June 23-27.  The UU Congregation of Miami is represented by Bill Turner, Barbara Woshinsky, Amy Carol Webb, and Rev. Kathy Schmitz.  Live coverage, some streaming, of the events, can be found through uua.org/ga.  Log on and take a peek at our wider UU community.

** Looking Ahead **

Bring a Lunch Dish to our July 4th “Patriotic Pot Luck”!
We will have a congregation-wide potluck picnic after our Independence Day Sunday service, so pull out your most colorful and festive recipes and whip up a dish to share with your fellow citizens! Drop off your dish in the kitchen before service, and be sure to label your serving bowl so it can be returned to you. Beverages will be provided. There will be no charge for this lunch.
