Closing Our Doors, Opening Our Hearts
John Britt

Since 1998 RVUUC has been a spiritual family, growing, learning and supporting one another. As we approach the end of this era, let us remember who we are, acknowledge the losses that will come with this change, and prepare ourselves for the next part of our spiritual journey together with hope and compassion.

After the service, all are invited to stay for a special “Potluck of Appreciation,” where we will take time to recognize the impacts that others have had on our lives and community, and share our gratitude.

Everything that Brotherly Love Could Suggest
Rev. Amanda Aikman

In this final service in the Pearl Warren Building, the last by Amanda at RVUUC, we’ll hear a moving story about a group of Unitarian exiles who were rescued and welcomed by their brethren in a foreign land. And our fabulous marimba band, NZIRA, will rock the house!

Rev. Amanda Aikman is a UU minister, spiritual companion, and joyfulness consultant. She is a friend of the congregation and speaks at RVUUC about once a month.

Radical Hospitality
Rev. Peg Morgan

This service and all future services will be held at Westside UU Congregation. (4736 40th Ave SW).
Today Peg will share some thinking about hospitality…what does it really mean to be hospitable…in our homes, in our congregation, in our hearts? This is a special day in the life of Westside UUC as many UUs from the Rainier Valley UU Congregation will begin attending, contemplating their membership with our congregation. As a symbol of our joining, RVUUC will light the chalice with the flame from their last service. And speaking of hospitality, our new Transylvanian partner church minister, Rev. Attila Vagyas, is visiting and will participate in this service as well.

After the service, RVUUC members and friends are invited to stay for a soup lunch (potluck contributions welcome!) followed by a ride to the new building (7141 California Ave SW) and a Westside UU orientation session there at 12:45, followed by a building tour. See details about carpooling and the orientation(s) on page 4 of the June newsletter.
