My Beloved Church Family,

Summer has arrived! Yesterday was the Summer Sol-stice and I spent hours soaking up the sun with many of you, at the Fremont Solstice Parade. Thirty-one congregants participated, from age two to 72. We had a blast—what a terrific way to start the summer!

Since we have entered the season of sunshine, I would like to remind everyone that we are a four-season con-gregation. While some churches take the summer off, we know that the search for truth and meaning is a year-round gig. I am off a few Sundays this summer (I have to go camping while the sun shines, after all) but we have engaging and vibrant guests in the pulpit that you will not want to miss. We also have a summer full of Religious Exploration programming- field trips, active games, and lots of time in our orchard. Don’t miss the summer at SUUC—it will fill you with the joy you will need when the clouds come back.

In closing, I will leave you with a short summer to-do list. Don’t panic, it is optional. This summer try to:

∗ eat something off a stick (corndog, Popsicle, kabob). Extra points if it’s really messy.

∗ look up at the stars for at least a half-hour stretch, extra points for every shooting star spotted.

∗ take off your shoes and feel the dirt under your feet. Doesn’t that feel good?

∗ smile at dogs and babies.

∗ read a book that transports you. The Swiss Family Robinson, Divergent, Huck Finn—it’s the season to be swept away.

∗ go to church!

See you soon at SUUC!

Warmly, Rev. Kate

CHURCH NEWS & ACTIVITIES

June Board Meeting Report

Present: Karen Thompson (presiding), Laura Morghon, Bill Roach, Paul Bormann, Lauren Ploskey, Adam Griffith, and Carolyn Threadgill, Rev. Kate Landis; guest speaker Dev Nambi

Establishing a Monthly Meeting Date for the New Board: SUUC Board Meetings will be moved from the second Tuesday of every month to the second Wednesday of every month, keeping the time of 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Election of Board Officers: Karen Thompson as Co-President; Laura Morghon as Co-President; Bill Roach as Vice President; Paul Bormann as Vice President of Finance; and Lauren Ploskey as Secretary.

All positions agreed upon unanimously by the SUUC Board.

The Board then overviewed the agenda for the upcoming year and the main tasks they will be taking on.

Designation of Board Liaisons to Committees: Karen Thompson: Personnel; Laura Morghon: Worship; Bill Roach: Social Action,; Music, and Building & Grounds (co-liaison); Paul Bormann: Stewardship; Lauren Ploskey: Membership; Adam Griffith: CARE Team and RE; Carolyn Threadgill: Building & Grounds (co-liaison) and Building Assessment.

Rain Garden Update: The rain garden is completed! The City of Shoreline required SUUC to sign a covenant for the rain garden to be kept for 10 years. Paul motioned to approve Bill signing the covenant, seconded, and the Board unanimously approved Bill Roach signing the covenant. Bill did the honor of signing the covenant on behalf of SUUC.

Narrow Cast Project Presentation: Dev Nambi presented on the current project idea to video-record parts of SUUC’s service to share online. Dev also answered Board questions and concerns about the project. The project re-quested Board approval to have a system where service attendees may opt-out from being filmed and the annual cost to host the videos online. The Board unanimously approved the Narrow Cast project request for funds for video-hosting and an opt-out system.

Financial Report: Paul Bormann overviewed the replacement of member loans and their terms and the rate of inter-est. Bill Roach noted SUUC has a long history of utilizing member loans as a part of its financial portfolio. The Board unanimously voted in favor of replacing member loans that were paid out early.

Building Assessment Committee Update: Carolyn Threadgill reported that the group is still collecting survey re-sponses regarding the four renovation options for Chrysalis. An outreach plan to collect surveys from members that have not yet returned one and discuss the Chrysalis renovation options to those not at the May Congregational Meeting will roll out soon. There is interest within the current committee to continue helping SUUC in the second phase of the project to refine building plans and determine any applicable regulations the renovations would need to adhere to.

Money Talks – July 2014

Toward a Decision on Chrysalis

The ad hoc Building Assessment Committee gave us an excellent and clear report outlining options for dealing with our space needs through changes in Chrysalis and the portable units. Now there will be more work on an-swering some of the good questions members asked at the annual meeting, especially about options 3 and 4 (the preferred options of those who have submitted surveys thus far).

Each of you have a responsibility in the meantime: get familiar enough with the options so that you can get an idea of how much you might be willing to give to this project. Yes, I know that will depend in part on ex-actly what the project winds up being. However, many SUUC folks who were here when the Dome was built have told me the same story: it was a huge mistake to spend lots of time and money for a plan that wound up being completely unaffordable. Planning a project of this sort must take a “chicken and egg” view of the physical and the financial aspects.

How much can we afford? Well, friends, that depends mostly on you. For the dome, we raised over $600,000 and financed over $400,000 (of which we still owe $149,000). We are growing, and most of SUUC's members, like myself, were not here when the Dome was built. I will be working on estimating how much more debt we can reasonably carry, but we need each of you to be able to give us a sense of how much a Capital Campaign will raise. We are not looking for Pledges at this point, and certainly won't be in 2014. But you can expect by the end of this fall that you will be asked by me or someone working with me how much you think that pledge might be.

—Paul Borrmann, VP-Finance

Committee on Ministry

The Committee on Ministry has ac-complished several assessments so far this year. As you may recall, the COM is charged with regularly assessing all the ministries at SUUC. We began our year by assessing the RE ministry. In April and May we completed our as-sessment of the Music ministry and will present our report to the Board of Trustees in July. In June, we assessed the Care Team Ministry and will pre-sent that report to the Board of Trus-tees in September. Thank you to all those who have participated in the as-sessment process! If you’d like to see the music and RE reports, please con-tact Laurie in the office ([email protected]). If you’d like to provide input about the assessment process, please let Catherine know ([email protected]).

Faithfully yours,

Catherine Crain, chair Laura Banks Rev. Kate Landis Roseann London Darrell Udd Rick Wilson

Celebration Sunday

Sunday, July 6 will be the next Celebra-tion Sunday. There will be treats, and Helena Parker will be home-baking them this month! Notify Rick Wilson ([email protected] or 206-799-3054) of your special events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc., for this month. Also, the white board will be up in the lobby for display and additions on that Sunday.

Greeters, Ushers, and Barista

Training Coming Up!

The Welcome Team is sponsoring one hour-long training for everyone who is interested in being a Greeter, Usher, or Coffee Barista beginning in the fall. It is going to be held on August 9th at church. Greeters will be trained from 9 until 10 a.m., Ushers from 10 until 11 a.m., and Baris-tas from 11 until noon.

We will explore not only how we can be the best ambassadors to each other and visitors, but also some of the ‘why’s for what we try to do. Sound sort of odd? Ahhhh, it’ll be fun and treats will be served! Put it on your calendar now!

Questions? Call Welcome Team chair, Rick Wilson, Greeter leaders Cheryl Udd or Nancy Curtis, Usher leader, Homer Henderson, or Coffee Barista leader, Carrie Cameron. Treats will be served and it will be fun!



Welcoming Volunteers—We Salute You!

Every Sunday, we are privileged to have a cadre of volunteers who come to church with the sole aim of making that morning’s experience a great one for our community. First, we have folks who greet us as we walk through the entrance doors. Then, we are met by ushers who pleasantly give us the order of worship. Finally, both before and after the service, we are wel-comed to have fresh coffee and/or tea. Oft-times, there are edible treats to savor, as well. What a great deal …. and we say “THANKS!”

On July 6th, we will thank all our welcoming volunteers during the Sunday service. However, in case some of them – and others – might miss that service, we also want to name them and thank them here. So —

Greeters, led by Cheryl Udd and Nancy Curtis: Andy Landis, Megan Watson, Shelley Anderson, Carolyn Brenner, Bernice Ege-Zavala, Fran Campbell, Bruce Campbell, Nancy Parle, Sue Leisy, Barbara King, Bill King, Bill Roach, Carol Roach, Dianne Carreri, Helena Parker, Lauren Ploskey, Zach Ploskey, Rick Wilson, Evelyn Gamage, Carol June, Marilyn Thompson, and Barbara Stilson

Ushers, led by Homer Henderson: Paul Borrman, Jeremy Corvialis, Richard Graves, Homer Henderson, Christina Horst, Anne Martin, and Barbara Stilson

Coffee Baristas, led by Carrie Cameron: Amanda Ray, Barbara Fisk, Bev Hesterberg, Bill Roach, Bruce Adair, Cal Spangler, Carolyn Brenner, Dana Doerksen, Darian Smolar, Dave Duke, Donald Patrick, Doug Collins, Ellen Henderson, Eva Monsen, Helena Parker, Jean Berolzheimer, Jerome Lutge, Jill Fitting, Jill Patten, Joe Knight, John Stott, Juel Erickson, Kate Beck, Kathryn Kerns, Kristina Selset, Lew Witham, Noel Bain, Rick Wilson, Sharon Maynard, Shelley Anderson, Shirley Beresford, Susan Corvialis, Tamami Matsuzaki, Teresa Bain, Terry Zimmerman, Tori Manzer, Veronica Beck, and Vicki Brodine.

Thanks to you all!

Grounds Work Parties!!!

On the dates and times listed below, I will be working on cleaning the parking lot, as well as weeding and pruning

our garden beds. Come on out to help—the more the merrier!!!

Any and all help is appreci-ated. Bring shovels, rakes, weeding tools, pruning tools, and gloves. There are many buttercups, grasses, and other “undesirables” growing in the beds. If you aren’t sure what is a weed and what is not, I can show you one weed, and if that is the only type you dig out, that will be awesome. Cleaning out the spent bluebell leaves and seed-heads will make other areas of our grounds look much better. The snowberries are growing so happily, we need to check their exuberance before someone gets lost.

July 12 @ 1 - 3 p.m.

July 19 @ 9 a.m. - noon

July 26 @ 9 a.m. - noon

August 2 @ 1 - 3 p.m.

August 8 @ 9 a.m. - noon

Don’t feel like getting dirty but want to support the work? Bring some snacks/drinks to be enjoyed by those present.

We are growing oats along the south fence-line of the orchard. It will be fun to see how that does. Anyone noticing the young plums and apples?

Like the taste of wild straw-berries? Forage our grounds—they are ripe and ex ‘seed’ ingly delicious right now. West side (street

side) of the Sanctuary is where they are most abundant.

—Laura Westbrook, Wild Weeder

P.S. Check out our new rain-garden; there are edibles in there as well! Thanks also to Chris Doerksen for get-ting the English laurel cleared off our fence line.

Do You Like to Take Pictures of People?

We are looking for SUUC members or friends who would be interested in shooting photos occasionally of church activities. We would like to use the pictures in Soundings and Facebook. This can be a casual arrangement; it doesn’t have to be all the time. Please contact Laurie in the office, [email protected], if you are interested. Thanks!

New Course this Fall

Darrell and Cheryl Udd are bringing a wonderful Life Coach friend, Sandy Powers, to the church for a course called, “Compassionate Listening— A course for Self-Healing,” which Sandy developed over 20 years from individual coaching, facilitating groups and workshops. The class will meet the third Wednesday of these months; September, October, November, Feb-ruary, March and April from 7 to 9 p.m. Light food will be provided. Sandy works for Providence Hospice, serving as the volunteer manager, overseeing 800-1,000 hospice volun-teers in the Olympia, Seattle and Ever-ett areas. Her other workshops have included developing intuition, teach-ings of the medicine wheel, dream boards as healing tools, listening to life--learning to read the symbols and signs around us. Her training here at SUUC will include the aspects of self-awareness, self-knowledge and self-care. She says her course will help people become aware of the unlimited love, peace and joy that resides in their hearts. This course will be interesting to men and women. She will ask for donations only. If you would like to help with building cost; you may con-tribute $5 per night per person. Please email Cheryl ([email protected]) if you can attend and she will add you to her mailing list to receive updates.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Moment—

Schedule a Photo Portrait

Appointment Now!

We are trying something new, and need your cooperation! SUUC is working with Yuen Lui Studios this summer to create an online church member photo directory (password protected). One of the advantages of an online directory is that we can update it annually, so it will stay current, unlike the printed photo directories. To be included in the directory, have your individu-al or family’s portrait taken at the Roosevelt Yuen Lui Studio anytime from now until and September 20. There is no cost for the portrait session. If you go to their studio, you will get a full portrait session, a free 8 x 10 print, plus 50% off package prices. If you can’t make it into the studio, Yuen Lui will be onsite at the church one day only, Sunday, Septem-ber 21, 1-6 p.m.

Call Yuen Lui at 206-523-5707 to schedule an appointment and let them know that you are with Shoreline Unitarian. Their Roosevelt Studio is locat-ed at 924 NE 63rd St. If you prefer to have your photo taken at the church on September 21, please contact Laurie, 206-363-7994 or [email protected].

We Want to See Your Creativity!

For our fall art display in the Sanctuary hallway, we would like to have a group show! Any medium is fine, as long as the piece can be hung in our space. Do you have a photograph, water color, sketch, small quilt, or weaving that you would like to show off? Maybe a collage, mask or assemblage piece? If you are interested, or know some other SUUC member or friend who might have something to contribute, please con-tact Laurie in the office, [email protected] or 206-363-7994. Any kind of original artwork is welcomed; don’t be shy! We want to contin-ue the visual enhancement of our walls as much as possible and display the work of our many talented members and friends.

SUUC Men’s Group

The SUUMA (Shoreline Unitarian Universalist Men’s Association) will be meeting for breakfast at the Wedgwood Broiler on Saturday, July 19, 9-11 a.m. All men are welcome to participate. For more information, contact Bob Beekman, 206-527-7340 or [email protected].



We Care!!

Are you going through a tough time in your life when a little help could ease your burden? You are part of our car-ing community, so don’t hesitate to ask for help! Our Care Team is ready to help coordinate support from within the church community, including rides, brief respite care, support for caregiv-ers, light housecleaning, and meals during a crisis — or to help you locate support services outside of church. If you need assistance, leave a confiden-tial message with Laurie in the church office at 206-363-7994 or [email protected] and she will relay it to the Care Team coordinators, who are Megan Watson and Eliza Sutton for July. Please allow the Care Team 48-72 hours to reply (72 hrs. for messages left Friday or Saturday). If a more pressing need should arise, please contact Rev. Kate directly. (We are phasing out the Care Team email address previously posted as a contact route.)

Chamber Music Group

Calling all musicians who want to play chamber music for fun: we will be meeting Friday, July 18, 6-9 p.m. in the Sanctuary. All skill levels and instruments (including voice) are welcome. The less accomplished musicians will be able to play at the beginning of this time and the more accomplished musicians will be able to play a little later in the evening. If you plan to participate, please contact Barbara Rader, 206-898-5403 or [email protected], to let her know what instrument you play and your approximate skill level.

Women’s Circle

Women rely on friends. ... That's where we draw sustenance and find safety. We can count on our women friends when we need a good laugh or a good cry.” —Cokie Roberts

This month’s SUUC Women’s Circle will meet on July 5. We gather in Chrysalis from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

July Circle will give you the opportunity to catch up with other women in the SUUC community as we share what our lives have brought us. Come as you are with your stories, your snacks and your friends.

There is a place for every woman at the monthly circle, no matter her age or level of activity. You are welcome to join with us anytime.

Info? Contact Sharon at 425-835-3121 or [email protected] . You can also visit our blog at http://suucwomenscircle.blogspot.com/

The June Women’s Circle gave us the opportunity to share our most loved books and then to chose a book we will read and discuss in September. We created a list of great books that you will find on our blog.

We chose a book by Kris Radish, Annie Freeman’s Fabulous Traveling Funeral. It is a great story of a woman who left behind her funeral instructions. Her instructions brought her friends together in ways that no one imagined. Kris writes in ways that make women rethink the value that other women add to life.

You can get this book at several local or online outlets such as: 1.) Third Place Books, 2.) www.abebooks.com, 3.) www.powellsbooks.com. We decided not to use amazon.com.

Dictionaries Wanted

We are still collecting paperback dic-tionaries and other reference books under the Books to Prisoners pro-gram. There is a box in the hall next to the Food Lifeline collection box. Con-sider looking for these books whenev-er you are in a thrift store or used book store. Thank you!



Social Action Committee Meeting, July 27

The next meeting of the Social Action Committee will be on Sunday, July 27, after church and coffee time, starting at noon in Chrysalis. Likely topics to be discussed are:

Report on Children’s RE summer social action project.

Report on the campaign for the November vote on Initiative 594, to enact uni-versal background checks for gun sales in the state of Washington.

Report on results of signature gathering campaign for Initiative 1329, calling for Congress to move on a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to restore the abil-ity to regulate political election campaign financing by wealthy individuals and big corporations. Discussion of other efforts to reverse the effect of McCutch-eon and Citizens United Supreme Court decisions —including various Con-gressional bills to advance relevant Constitutional Amendments and Dick Dur-bin’s Senate bill for federal election campaign financing.

Discussion of advocacy activities for a carbon tax in Washington State.

Open discussion of other topics or business.

The following monthly Social Action meeting will be on Sunday, August 24, same time and place.

Check the Social Action blog (http://suucsocialactions.blogspot.com) a couple days before each meeting for a posted agenda. Or subscribe to the Social Ac-tion Committee’s twice-a-month eBlast emailing. (To subscribe, contact Bob Beekman, [email protected]).

SUUC Evening Book Group Reads

“The Death of the Liberal Class”

The reading for the July meeting of the Evening Book Group (aka “The Owls of Minerva”) is The Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges. Intrigued by the title? Come to our discussion on Wednesday, July 2, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., in the Church Conference Room. This promises to be very interest-ing.

Looking ahead, our book selection for August will be God’s Hotel by Victoria Sweet, a physician writing about her work at America’s last “almshouse,” a San Francisco hospital for chronically ill indigent patients. Fascinating, inspiring, and thought-provoking.

Anyone who is interested is welcome to join our discussion meeting on the first Wednesday of each month — even if you haven’t finished reading the book for the month!

For further information, contact Bob Beekman, 206-527-7340, or [email protected].
