This is the weekend of our UU Family Campout so many of our members and friends will be out of town. But never fear, Elizabeth Jo will be here to lead a Coffee Can Service on August’s theme: Mended, Not Erased because some of our richest conversations begin with a simple question.

What is a Coffee Can Service you say? It’s a day when we set aside the usual sermon for a relaxed, interactive Sunday morning. A coffee can filled with thought-provoking questions, reflections, and conversation starters is passed around the room. Each person who wishes may draw a slip of paper and share their thoughts, experiences, or stories.

Questions may be lighthearted or profound, inviting us to reflect on our values, our journeys, our joys, and the world we share. There are no right or wrong answers—only an opportunity to listen deeply, speak authentically, and learn from one another.

Participation is always optional. Whether you choose to speak or simply listen, you’ll be part of creating a service shaped by the wisdom, curiosity, and lived experience of our community.

Come as you are, bring an open mind, and discover what unfolds when we gather in conversation.
