"Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and … stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to ‘walk about’ into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?”

Join Jilly Watson and the Sunday Gathering Team for connection, conversation and a hands on arts activity!  

Please rsvp to Barb  so we know how much soup to have on hand. If anyone would like to make an additional pot of soup for this gathering, also please let Barb know.

Parking Information: Mollie Nye House is at 940 Lynn Valley Road.  We are in the basement, entrance on the south side.  We can't park in the Hillside Baptist lot as they are using their lot Sunday morning.  The best parking option is at the Karen Magnussesn Rec center.  It's a little walk.  If you have accessibility issues you could be dropped off at Mollie Nye and then the vehicle can be moved.

 Liz James set to visit us on both
April 26 and May 4!

On Saturday, April 26, UUSS Worship Circle has invited Liz James, founder of Mirth and Dignity and the UU Hysterical Society, to speak as part of our service. 

On Sunday, May 4, Liz James will be at Mollie Nye House to lead UUSS in a workshop called  The Church of Our Imagination, a congregational/community development workshop. 

Just who is Liz James you ask?
She is a member of the Saskatoon Unitarians, on the Canadian prairie. She runs Mirth and Dignity, an organization dedicated to UUhumour, which can be found at UUHystericalSociety.com. Liz also does guest preaching and can be reached through her website at lizjameswrites.com. 

New Membership Team!

Looking for Volunteers

We are looking for volunteers to join a brand-new Membership Team.  To give you a sense of what the work might entail, I’ve developed a possible “Terms of Reference” document which is shown below.  One of the first tasks of the new group will be to review the ”Terms” and change them if you think it advantageous to do so.

Please let me know if you’re interested.  I’m including a special invitation to any youth who might find this work of interest.  Your participation would be more than welcome.
