Saturday Art Hangout
2026-06-13 09:00 - 12:00
As spring gives way to early summer, the world bursts with color, growth, energy, and possibility. Join us for a relaxed morning of creativity inspired by the season’s abundance. Through collage, painting, art journaling, mixed media, and open-ended art making, we’ll explore themes of blooming, emergence, wildness, renewal, and connection to the natural world.

Choose a project that calls to you or bring your own:

The Garden of Possibility – Create a collage garden where each flower, plant, or growing thing represents a hope, value, dream, or intention. Using images, colors, textures, and words, build a landscape that reflects what you are cultivating in your life and what you hope will bloom in the seasons ahead.

Accidental Blooms – Start with random paint marks, scribbles, splatters, or torn-paper shapes and see where they lead. Transform unexpected forms into flowers, vines, gardens, and imaginative landscapes, embracing surprise, play, and the creative possibilities hidden in every “mistake.”

Sunlit Blooms – Create colorful flower suncatchers using wax paper, tissue paper, and other translucent materials. Layer colors, shapes, and textures to design blooms that catch the light and bring a touch of the season’s brightness to any window.

Our Saturday Art Gatherings welcome artists, crafters, and creative beginners alike, and are open to adults and teens. We provide examples, gentle guidance, and a variety of supplies to spark your process. Participants are also welcome to bring materials from home to use or share at our community resource table!

Suggested items to bring:

Natural items: leaves, petals, small sticks, seeds, feathers

Interesting textures: foil, bubble wrap, mesh

Stamps, stickers, or stencils

This summer, our Religious Education program invites children into The Gift of We: A Summer of Play, play-based sessions rooted in Unitarian Universalism and the spirit of shared belonging. Each week, children will explore what it means to be part of a caring community through play, creativity, and connection, practicing themes such as:

We Work Together (Lego day)

We Notice (bubble day)

We Share (water play)

We Imagine (cardboard forts)

We Care (nature play)

We Create (messy art)

Summer RE meets in the lobby and will head outside at the start of service. Please dress for the weather (sunscreen, hats, light jackets for cool mornings, etc.). And in the event of rain or extreme heat, we’ll bring the fun indoors.

This program is designed for children in Preschool through 5th grade, but older children are welcome.

Inappropriate Laughter Fan Club – The Rev. Brian Mason, preaching

In hospital waiting rooms. In the checkout line. In the back of the tent when you think no one can hear. Somewhere in us there’s a laugh we haven’t let out — the one that says, sure, okay, more is coming. A sermon about Sarah’s inappropriate laugh, and God’s endorsement of it.

Summer Services

As we head into the warmer months, starting June 14th our services will move from the sanctuary to the atrium. We’re looking forward to this change of pace and to spending the summer together in a cooler, more relaxed setting where it’s easy to connect and build community.

Does Anyone Remember Why We’re Mad? — The Rev. Brian Mason, preaching

Have you ever gotten irritated with someone, said something mean, and then later asked yourself, Why am I even mad? But kept it going anyway because the other person seemed mad now too, and you didn’t want to lose an argument you don’t remember starting. It’s okay, you’re not alone. A sermon about staying mad long after we’ve forgotten why.
