HYBRID SUMMER SERVICE’S AT UUSL 10:00AM.
ZOOM AVAILABLE AT 9:45AM
July 28, 2024 Service
Leader: Urban Larson
Theme: Introduction to sustainable investing, what it is and how it differs from regular investing, why it matters that we invest sustainably – particularly to UUs, and will be debunking the common myth that it hurts your investment returns.
Questions to think about for participants:
How does sustainable investing relate to UU values?
What sustainability issues are you especially concerned with and what do you plan to do about it?

Summer Services at UUSL
This summer the worship committee has organized 8 summer services. All summer services start at 10am. If you are attending by zoom, the zoom meeting will open by 9:50am.
Summer services follow a different format than the services during September through June. Summer services are designed to be more interactive.
The pews are arranged in a semi-circle. The services are shorter. The service is 30 minutes followed by an optional 30 minutes social time.
During the 30 minutes, there is music, candles of joy and sorrow, an offertory, and a discussion of a topic.
Some of the topics this summer are:
homelessness, poetry, musing on spirituality, singing, sustainable investing, the right to die, and how to prepare for a good death.
We hope you will participate and support our summer services.
This altar speaks to our times, our hopes, our prayers.
Our congregation has worked together to earn the Designation of "Green Sanctuary" from the UU Church.
We thank Roger and Inez Andrews and countless subcommittee leaders and members for their tireless work toward this goal.
We are taking an active role to help make a world that is sustainable, safe, and just for all humanity, including present and future generations, and the whole of the interconnected web of life.
