Welcome to
Summertime
At KUUF
During the summer months, things slow down here at KUUF.
Many of us like to take advantage of the beautiful weather by spending extra
time outdoors, so we only offer one Sunday service, and tend to keep it short.
Our minister and Director of Religious Education both take some time off, so
things feel more laid back and informal. In this relaxed and accepting
atmosphere, we come to sing, speak, and share silence together, and to enjoy
the beauty in our world and in one another’s faces.
Many of the groups that meet during the regular church year go
on hiatus. It’s always a good idea to get in touch with the contact
person for any meeting or event you’d like to attend. While you’ll
notice things aren’t as busy as usual, there are still plenty of opportunities
to connect, learn, share, and play together.
A sense of community and a deepening awareness of gratitude
and awe are growing this summer at the Kitsap Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship.

Summer Sundays:
Sunday Morning Worship:
One service, 10 am
In the summer time, many of our services are led by lay people
or guest speakers. Check out our website, or our newsletter,
The Candle, to find out
the topic of the day.
For children who have not yet gone to Kindergarten, we provide
childcare during the service. Kids ages 5-11 are invited to participate
in our summer Religious Education program, “Having Fun with Dr. Seuss.”
Each Sunday, the children read a story and participate in a game or activity.
Older children can attend adult worship or assist the teachers in either
classroom.
Potlucks: A Cherished Tradition
On July 6th and August 31st, you’re invited to brunch potlucks
in lieu of the worship service. Starting at 10 am, we’ll talk and
eat and get to know one another better. All ages welcome.
KUUF Farmer’s Market
Each Sunday in the breezeway, we hold a farmer’s market.
People bring veggies, fruit, plant starts, and baked goods to share.
It’s a great way to eat local...and also an opportunity to get rid of your
extra zucchini.
