Practicing for DeBenneville Practicing for de Benneville — Bringing the Mountains to Santa Monica Mark your calendars. On Sunday, August 12, we will recreate Camp de Benneville Pines on our very own church patio. Join us after service for songs and crafts, a tie-dye display, a photo show, and sign up for our “real” camp in September. Then, in conjunction with Second-Sunday Supper, come at 5 p.m. for campish games and activities. Campish supper is at 6 p.m., maybe a talent show at 7 p.m. (?) followed by a campfire with songs and s’mores. Lots of campish fun — don't miss it. |

Praying Our Lives |
|

Praying to a God Who Laughs The story of Abraham and Sarah includes God coming to them announcing that Sarah will bear a child. But by this time Sarah and Abraham are nearly a hundred years old (they lived a long time back then). Sarah's reaction to bringing children into the world is to laugh. Why does she laugh? We will think about the laughter that's important for every community to have and also offer appreciation and praise for DRE Kathleen Hogue on her last Sunday with us at UUCCSM. |

Primal Humanism An Encounter With the Holy Somewhere along the line humanism became equated or confused with atheism, or worse, a purely secular view of the world. The deeper meaning of humanism has strong religious sentiments as its foundation. |
I joined UUSM, along with my husband, Michael, in May 2015, after attending for about six months as visitors. I am very happy that we made that decision. We’ve gotten to know so many wonderful people who share our values. We’ve had the opportunity to experience countless beautiful moments of conversations, meals, performances, and, of course, the services.
