SUMMARY:CSAI 2025 - Abolition\, Transformation and Faith Formation.
DESCRIPTION:Fellow congregant Laura Gordon will inform us of Congregational Study Action Issues (CSAI). These are issues selected by UU member congregations for three years of study\, reflection and action. The purpose is to provide member congregations of the Association with an opportunity to mobilize energy\, ideas and resources around a common issue. The end result will be a deeper understanding of our religious position on the issue\, a clear statement of Association policy as expressed in a Statement of Conscience\, and a greater capacity for congregations to take effective action. \nWe 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. \n \nJoin us for Coffee Hour after the service in Fellowship Hall!

SUMMARY:Lughnasadh/Lammas Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the World of Pagan Rites \nJoin us at Noon on August 3rd\, 2025\, for our CUUPS Lughnasadh ritual\, celebrating the first harvest. This ritual will be conducted as part of the regular service of the Pacific Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and will be held in the fellowship hall at 770 11th Street\, Astoria. \nThis ritual will be the first in an ongoing series exploring Animism\, Paganism\, and Shamanism around the world. For Lughnasadh we will be looking to Asia and incorporating ritual elements and prayers from the Shinto religion of Japan. Shinto is a living tradition with an unbroken line of transmission through a continuous priesthood dating back over 2\,000 years. It is an animistic faith that encourages practitioners to recognize their connection to the cycle of the Great Nature. Within Shinto practice\, there are household altars\, a priesthood\, and recognized traditions of fortune telling\, seasonal rites\, and magical esoterism. Join us as we examine this fascinating path through the lens of CUUPs Paganism. \n  \n  \nWe 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. \n \nJoin us for Coffee Hour after the service in Fellowship Hall!

SUMMARY:Who Am I?  Why Am I Here?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julia Hesse\n“Who am I” and “Why am I here?” Engaging these fundamental questions just may help us respond to the crises of our times. \nIf you need more words: Digging deeper into these questions can help us peel away the layers that leave us complacent and in denial can connect us to the beating heart of our innate purpose and in doing so root us in courageous Love. Contemporary mystic and teacher\, Cynthia Bourgeault\, refers to this as “holding our post”. Holding our post helps to not only calm our nervous systems\, it ripples out into our collective space and helps calm the troubled waters. \nWe 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. \n  \n \nReligious Education for Children will occur during the regular service. \nSend an email to Puufreligioused@Pacuuf.org for more information. \n  \n \nJoin us for Coffee Hour after the service in Fellowship Hall!
