Coffee hour follows each service, providing us with an opportunity for fellowship and socialization as we discuss the topic of the day, or other issues on members’ minds. Summer services vary. They are less formal, and include a social aspect, so be sure to review this page to know what is happening each week.

July 2025 Services and Events
​​​​​​​​
Sunday, July 6 - Ellen Ochs, President of the Chippewa Valley League of Women Voters, will speak to us about the organization and the challenges we face regarding our democracy.
Sunday, July 13 - Service w/Dennis Peters: “Subtle Anarchy from a Humanist Perspective”
I always thought that anarchy was what happened when a teacher couldn’t keep control of the classroom.
But imagine it on a nationwide scale! And now think about it from a humanist perspective. Contradictory terms? And yet: perhaps not.
Board Meeting after the service.
Sunday, July 20 - The Ottersons
Mike and Jayne Otterson and their six children broke away from a conservative church. The whole family does music.
We’ll hear from the Ottersons as to their experience, and they will perform a variety of music for us on guitar, spoons, upright bass, and washboard. This will be a mini concert with some of their background thrown in.
Sunday, July 27 - Service w/Dennis Peters: “Yesterday I Heard the Rain”
With thanks to composer Armando Manzanero and performer Tony Bennett. Yes, we’re back to the topic of rain, but with a difference.
Let’s look at the emotion of the song and relate it to the world order. How do we scale up individual emotions to the relationships of countries? Let’s see if there’s a way to snip the threads of melancholy and despair and weave a new message — one that will apply to the dilemma in which we find ourselves today on a national and worldwide scale.
