Join us for Soulful Second Saturday on October 10 at Summit UU Fellowship.

For our October Saturday we will be creating pocket altars using felt and fabric scraps. These foldable cloth pockets can hold images of ancestors, tarot cards, affirmations, poems or any flat items that you want to take with you as a spiritual practice. Use this form to register https://forms.gle/4Pr6r2SbvCKUm55s5 .

We are asking for a $10 donation to cover the cost of materials. We will be meeting from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Once you have registered, you can expect an email a few days before as a reminder to come play!

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy.

On Sunday, October 18th we will have Anita Reith, a member of the LoWV come speak to us about the ballot measures in our upcoming election. 11:10 to 12:30 in our library.

Grab some food and come hear her speak before coming to the Lute Concert.

The Lady and the Lute

Deirdre Sullivan will play a Lute Concert for us, Sunday October 18th, from 1:00-2:30, in our Sanctuary.

Doors open at 12:30, $20 suggested donation, cash or check only at door.

Her lute repertoire is similar to her Celtic Harp one. Tunes will feature ballads and dance tunes from England, Ireland, and Scotland. The Celtic Lute has a sound similar to a Classical Guitar and is well suited to contrapuntal instrumental music.

The lute was very popular in Europe from the early 1500s up until the late 1700s. It fell out of favour for much of the 1800s until musicians in late Victorian England started studying and playing it again. The lute experienced an immense revival in Germany starting in the early 20th century. Deirdre’s Lute was made in Dresden, Germany by Michael Haaser and has 9 strings.
