The Longest Day
Theme:

Sunday, June 26, 2016
Rev. Rebecca Benefiel Bijur
We mark the summer solstice with an exploration of our Sixth Source, “Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.”
Faithful Freedoms, Responsible Choices
Theme:
Pride
Sunday, June 19, 2016
Rev. Lee Marie Sanchez
The stories of faith and the freedom to choose create a colorful and complex picture. The range of emotions and experiences they express help us to see why it is still extremely important to protect the rights of all women
regarding Reproductive Justice.
Rev. Lee Marie Sanchez is currently serving the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Laguna Beach as their Developmental Minister. She has been a religious professional for 24 years; she began as a DRE in Washington State, worked as a Hospital/Hospice Chaplain for 2 years and served as a Student/Consulting Minister for both the Anaheim UU Church and the Sepulveda UU Society. She has preached in more than 3 dozen UU congregations.
The Queer Art of Failure (Summer Hours Begin - One Service at 10 a.m.)
Theme:
Pride
Sunday, June 12, 2016
Rev. Rebecca Benefiel Bijur
Scholar Judith Halberstam writes, “The queer art of failure turns on the impossible, the improbable, the unlikely, and the unremarkable. It quietly loses, and in losing it imagines other goals for life, for love, for art, and for being.” Would it mean to reject our notions of success and embrace our failures in new ways? We will send off our LA Pride marchers with a “Blessing of the Bus” in worship at 10:15, so they can get to the LA Pride parade on time.
Celebration Sunday (Two services at 9 and 11 a.m.)

Pride
Sunday, June 5, 2016

Let’s end our church year with a bang and celebrate everything that makes our congregation and our faith inspiring and exciting. We’ll recognize our Sunday morning volunteers and thank them for their service to our church. The choir will sing for both services, and we’ll say farewell to our Director of Music, DeReau Farrar.
