The Heart of the Matter
2023-08-06 12:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Jennifer Springsteen
It is said that Unitarianism is the head of our religion and Universalism is the heart. From this big beating heart, we come to know how deeply we are loved, like it or not.
Jennifer has completed her final year of seminary at Starr King School for the Ministry in Oakland. She and her husband will be moving from Portland to Virginia in just a couple of weeks, so we will miss hearing from her on a regular basis.

~Open hearts, open minds, room for all theologies, including yours~

We are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person. Masks are now optional but strongly advised. If you are not feeling well, please wear a mask, or attend via Zoom.

Religious Education for Children will occur during the regular service.
Contact Adriana at Puufreligioused@Pacuuf.org for more information.

Join us for Coffee Hour after the service in Fellowship Hall!

Reverend Mira Kepler

Join Rev. Mira to explore the promises and pitfalls of psychedelic healing as a spiritual resource. She’ll share learnings from her process of becoming a licensed psilocybin facilitator in the state of Oregon, and reflections on her recent study leave in the mountains of Oaxaca to learn from traditional healers who work with sacred mushrooms.

God in Our Own Image
2023-08-20 12:00 - 14:00
Meredith Richardson

In the words of Ani DiFranco, “What if God’s not looking down? What if He’s looking up instead?”What if we are the ones who are creating the Divine, or at least our interpretation of It? If all spiritual paths lead to the same end, and we, as Universalists, don’t believe in Hell, then we get to choose what we do believe. And what we choose to believe says as much about us as what we choose not to.
Meredith will talk about her own spiritual berry picking when it comes to connecting with the Divine, while also weaving in some UU-friendly song lyrics.

We will be having another potluck picnic at
Coffenbury Lake in Fort Stevens State Park, Shelter A (same as before).
Bring a dish to share, your own beverage, and your own plate/utensils if you want to reduce waste. PUUF will provide paper products and utensils. You can also bring lawn games, musical instruments or whatever else you would like to have to enjoy a day at the park with fellow PUUFers!
