We are excited to have Claire Lute as our guest accompanist this summer. She is an inclusive multi-instrumentalist music teacher based in Loveland.

Join Pastor Delaney for a 6-week transformative Bible study inspired by the devotional Sacred Belonging by Kat Armas. We'll be exploring what it means to belong to God, to one another, and to the earth through the voices and wisdom often overlooked in traditional spaces. This study's aim is to uncover how God's Spirit is present in the margins and how interconnectedness is central to the gospel.
Meetings are on Tuesdays @ 7pm in the church fellowship hall and run through Tuesday, August 19th. A copy of the devotional is not required, as there will be copies of the portions we will explore together available - just bring a Bible and an open mind!
If you have any questions, please contact Delaney (delaney@lovelanducc.org / 614-273-9293). Hope to see you there!

I "see" contemplative art as an open door, an invitation. An invitation to rest, to breathe, to withdraw. An invitation to consciousness: to be awake and alert to body, memory, emotion, thought. An invitation to un-consciousness: the forgotten, repressed, denied, lost. An invitation to interact: to question, challenge, change, journey." - Chuck Wright
On Sunday August 17, Reverend Chuck Wright, retired U.C.C. Clergy, photographer, and curious contemplative, will lead the second session of a group inquiry into Contemplative Art and the Art of "Belonging," following our worship service and coffee fellowship. Our session will be approximately one hour (11:30-12:30) in the Sanctuary.
For the second session (August 17) you will be invited to create a piece of art (photograph, painting, sketch, digital creation, sculpture, poetry, crochet piece, etc), bring a piece of art, or use one of Chuck's photographs, to share your contemplative experience with the art of belonging over the previous two weeks.
You are invited to participate in this exploration in whatever way leads you to self-knowledge, enlightenment, and beauty for your life journey. If you have questions or suggestions for Chuck he may be reached at wrightrev@aol.com Namaste!
Our beloved Music Minister, Nikki Glantz, is returning to worship services on August 17. Please help us show our appreciation for her ministry by sending her cards or notes of thanks. You may send cards to the church at 800 N Lincoln Ave, Loveland, CO 80537.
Time is coming to celebrate our amazing time with Interim Minister Delaney and Pastor Thandiwe's return by joining together after the worship service led by both ministers on August 31st at Namaqua Park for a church picnic. Yes, it's Labor Day weekend, but it's the only time we will have both Thandiwe and Delaney togehter. There will be burgers, hot dogs, and beverages provided. Bring a side dish or dessert to share. There will be games to play - horseshoes, bocce, croquet, and others - maybe even a volleyball game! Namaqua park is a beautiful spot with plenty of shade, river access, a playground for the kids and plenty of space to spread out. Come join in the party. Contact Karen Jazowski or Craig Bialy for more information.
If anyone is willing to help set up at Namaqua Park during church service, please contact Kathy or Craig Bialy. Thank you.
