How Do You Like to Play? Summer RE for Children ~ Preschool through Grade 5
If you are looking for some fun on a Sunday morning, our summer RE program is the place to be! Please note that summer RE happens only at the first service. There are no age-specific classes for older youth, but Middle School and High School youth may participate as helpers or attend the worship service. Nursery care is available at both services.
This Sunday, during first service, children will be playing some all-time favorite games. The Slater families will be leading the children in corn hole, “sticky” baseball and other favorites. Because there will be a pancake breakfast on Sunday, the children will gather in Fesenden at 10:00 and then travel to the Annex together.
RADIOLAB AND PANCAKES IS BACK!
Radiolab and Pancakes will return right after second service on June 30th! So, get your pancakes, and bring them upstairs to The Founder’s Lounge! Our Radiolab short subject is titled “Solid as a Rock?”. For centuries, philosophers have argued this question, is our reality solid, or a product of our thoughts? Radiolab finds that religion and science are converging on a definitive answer to that question-maybe! So, bring your pancakes and your perspectives for a fun and lively discussion on a question that still puzzles scientists and philosophers! If you have any questions, please contact Cheryl Spoehr.

As we come to the end of Fiscal Year 2013 on June 30, we’d like to express our appreciation to everyone for their generous support of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent. Through your support we have had another successful year of providing ministry, education and fellowship to this community. For those who may still have a FY13 pledge balance to fulfill, we encourage you to do your best to fulfill that commitment.
We are looking forward to continued programming and growth in Fiscal Year 2014 and we appreciate the commitment you have made to the Church that will allow for this. Once again, thank you UU Church of Kent members and friends; You are what makes this faith community outstanding!
Led by Kristina Spaude and Worship Associate Lori McGee – My partner has said this phrase dozens of times in the last few years, and it’s become a mantra of sorts for me. During this service we are going to use this phrase as a lens through which we can understand sources of happiness and explore how we can invite happiness into our lives. While there is no key to happiness, there are many opportunities for it if we are open to them.
Sunday June 23rd during coffee hour and after second service, your fundraising team will be having an Ice Cream Social fundraiser to kick off Summertime!
We will offer vanilla ice cream with ALL the toppings you can handle. Hot fudge, Cherries, Nuts, Whipped Cream, Sprinkles, Bananas, OH MY! We are asking for a $4 donation for adults and $2 for children under 12.
Weather permitting we will hold this outside.

Dear Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent,
On behalf of all of our Ohio congregations, we want to give a big “Thank You!” to the many of you who have been witnessing for immigrant justice here in the Buckeye state and immigration reform nationally.
Last week UUA President Rev. Peter Morales went to the Capitol in Washington DC to advocate for compassionate immigration reform and he asked us to join him. The UUA is participating in the Alliance for Citizenship coalition which has identified our Ohio as a key state. And last month, members of the Ohio-Meadville district staff and board visited Sen. Portman’s office to articulate our UU support for immigration reform.
We are asking you to lend your voice to this effort. Please take a minute and call Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown (even if you have done so before) and ask them to support this unique history-making opportunity to fix our broken immigration system. Ask them to support a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants living here in the shadows.
The coalition reports that Senators are currently receiving more anti-immigrant than pro-immigrant calls and we need to change that fast!
Please speak out today for justice! We are all in this together!
Rev. Joan Van Becelaere
Ohio-Meadville District Executive
Howard Tolley
