Times and topics

• May 26
  Faith of the Free  
  The Rev. Gail Seavey
  Freedom is not just a necessary condition to allow for our faith, but it is sacred in and of itself.  We will explore some different ways that Unitarians and Universalists have explored freedom as faith in a larger liberty.
• June 2
  For Love or Money
  The Rev. Gail Seavey and Bob Day
  There are many things we cannot or will not do for “love or money.” What is even more amazing are all the things you do for the pure love of it. We will celebrate all the meaningful ways you work without pay and how that work shapes your spirit.
  Special musical guests: The Knoxville Gay Men’s Chorus
• June 9
  Music Sunday
  The Rev. Jason Shelton, FUUN Adult Choir, and special musical guests Heritage O.P.
  Join us for what will surely be the loudest, grooviest, most toe-tapping Music Sunday in history as we welcome Heritage O.P., a New York City-based percussion powerhouse that serves up irresistible grooves with a positive message. These master drummers collaborated with Jason to write an all-new suite of music just for this service, which will celebrate the rhythms of our lives with passion and spirit. And be sure to join us for the FUUN Dance Party on June 7!
  
  Please note: The annual congregational meeting will follow the second service.
• June 16
  Pilgrimage and Partnership
  The Rev. Gail Seavey, Jim Seavey, Jane Norris, Doug Pasto-Crosby, Sasha Bell Reed, Julian Raschke
  These church members made a pilgrimage to FUUN’s partner church in a small village in the “mountains in the clouds” – the foothills of the Himalayas. There we learned ways to be family, community, congregation and Unitarian – ways that bind people together and that challenged some of our own communal habits. We will reflect on newly discovered bonds that bind us to a much larger world.
• June 23
  From Promise to Commitment, GA Sunday
  Chris Wood
  Come join thousands of UUs from all over the country and a full delegation from this church to watch the Ware Lecture given by founder and executive director of the international Interfaith Youth Core, Eboo Patel at the UUA General Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky.
