Wisdom for Our Times: Octopus
Rev. Lucy Bunch preaching with Jenni Gouine, Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva
What has eight legs, a well-developed brain, great flexibility and creative defenses? This Sunday we will dive into the world of the octopus and discover what they can teach us. This is a repeat of a popular sermon from 2013.
*After service: Newcomers’ Orientation & Tour (meet at Welcome Table)

Questions, Answers, and Hunches
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones, Worship Associate Celia Buckley, Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva
In this annual service, you are invited to ask Roger about UU theologies and values, spiritual practice, religious traditions and history, this church, the state of the world, or Roger’s life and times. Please, just one question per person. Submit yours by Thursday night to roger@uuss.org. To make sure it gets through, he’ll confirm receipt by Saturday (or your money back). You could put it in the Question Box at the last minute on Sunday, but that risks a smartass answer rather than a thoughtful one (from AI).
*Spiritual Practice: Tai Chi & Qi Gong in the Fahs Classroom at 9:30
*Men’s Group after the service at 12:00 noon

Celebrating the Harvest
Rev. Lucy Bunch, with Rev. Dr. Roger Jones, Worship Associates Dawn Huebner and Andy Cramer, Karen Sparrow. Music Director Anthony Tavianini, pianist Irina Tchantceva
A Circle Service for All Ages
We will come together for our 11th annual Harvest Celebration with our traditional tomato communion. In the past years, Rev. Lucy has shared homilies about tomatoes, corn, peaches, watermelon, zucchini, blackberries, cantaloupe, eggplant, cucumbers and avocado. This year we celebrate celery (no really, we do). Rev. Lucy would love to hear your stories about celery. Do you love it or hate it? Or are you totally indifferent? Do you have a memory from childhood or from last week that you would like to share? Send your thoughts to Rev. Lucy.
Those of you coming in person can bring gifts from your garden to share; everyone can take a treat home from someone else’s garden. Let’s celebrate the harvest.
*Before service: Embodied Spiritual Practices at 9:30 am
*After the service: People of Color Caucus meet & greet at noon.
*After the service: Exploring Unitarian Universalism at noon with Rev. Roger
