Ancestry
Allen Bertsche 

This Sunday Allen Bertsche  invites you to explore the concept of ancestry with a service that looks both at our UU heritage and the rich history of ancestor veneration and connection in many cultures.  How we link to our collective past, as families, communities, and as a faith impacts how we live our lives today. Do we look honestly at the complicated past that helped to shape us or do we fall into the trap of glorifying those who came before us without recognizing that they too were humans; complex and flawed? Should the lessons we take from the past be those our ancestors wished for us, or do we also look back and see truths that they may not have been ready to face? Ancestry is a complicated concept, spiritually, genetically and culturally, so join us as we take a step back in time and reconnect with ourselves by exploring the path already taken.

From UU Blues to Rock and Roll
Kathy Bowman, RST

Doug McCollum's rock group, The Crossing River Band, will share their musical journey from early experimentation with the 'blues' to the more contemporary sound of 'rock and roll.'  They have found a musical, emotional, and theological connection between the two musical styles.  We will journey with them with both narration and music,and reflect on our own musical/theological journey from a UU perspective.

Sunday, July 8
Happiness
Mike Wilcox, RST

What exactly is happiness and how do we maintain such a state of mind? Buddhists have a term called Sukha which means lasting well-being. Different than ordinary pleasures which are temporary in nature, we can experience Sukha, in part, by establishing healthy connections with others being a part of something larger than oneself. So, yes, it is complicated. So come to the service to see how places like the UUCQC can be an incubator for happiness.

What Do You Expect?
Thia Sadlek, RST

What do we expect of life, ourselves, and others?  What do we believe is meaningful and true?  These questions are important to keep asking ourselves; because, what we expect and believe colors all that we experience, think, feel, and do.  Our expectations and beliefs are the lenses through which we see everything.  Thia Sadlek will explore the possibility and power of changing some of our expectations and beliefs to change our lives, the lives of others, and the world – for the better.
