July 5
Independence
Kristin Leigh Grassel
July 4 th marks the birth of this nation and its independence from Great Britain. On this holiday, civic ceremonies and family gatherings often lift up the revolutionary spirit and celebrate the tyranny and injustice we have gained freedom from. Shaped largely by the Enlightenment era, the Unitarian Universalist faith is similarly often defined by what it doesn’t affirm, with a focus on freedom from orthodoxy. Alternately, this sermon will assert the moral imperatives of national and theological liberty, and explore the possibilities of what we are free for. Kristin Grassel is membership coordinator for the Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church.

July 12
Secrets of the Women’s Retreat
Esther McBride, Carolyn Savadkin and other UUCSS women
Another UUCSS spring women's retreat has come and gone and we'd like to tell you why it was so important to us and to the community, and why many of us love it so much. There is a special energy when women gather together. For UUCSS women, it's a time of renewal, of connecting and reconnecting, of getting to know more about each other's talents and life stories. This service is for women and the men in our lives.

July 19
Famous (and infamous) UUs
1 st/3 rd Monday Inreach Group
Planned and presented by 1st/3rd Monday Inreach Group: Eli Briggs, Ellen Durkee, Lynn Edmiston, Carol Hamilton, Joan Lorr, Colleen McBride, George Meekins, and Craig Robinson. Come listen and learn as fellow UUCSS members portray famous and infamous UUs from throughout history and discuss issues of the day and their own philosophies. Please join us for this unique and fun service.

July 26
Our invisible old
Rev. Megan Foley
Modern American culture often separates our elders from the rest of our community. In fact, church is often one of the few places where seniors and people of other ages routinely interact, outside our families. Why the divide? Why are the concerns and struggles of our oldest members so frequently overlooked? Join Megan, UUCSS member and newly appointed minister of the Sugarloaf Congregation of Unitarian Universalists, as we explore ways in which elders and others can see and understand each other.

August 2
Reason and Reverence: Religious Humanism for Today’s World
William R. Murry
Humanists have been criticized for being close-minded, overly rationalistic, "all head and no heart," lacking in spirituality, and too optimistic about human nature.  However, by combining humanism with religious naturalism these criticisms are overcome, and what results is a new, more vital and relevant humanism. William Murry is minister emeritus from River Road Unitarian Church; past president of the Meadville Lombard Theological School; and editor, Journal of Liberal Religion.
