Starting Point sees Unitarian Universalism as a way of journeying through the world rather than a set of beliefs to which one assents.
Session I, Sunday, May 3, 12:00 to 2:00 pm – focuses on our individual spiritual journeys and invites a wide-ranging inquiry into basic beliefs about life and death and spirituality. Facilitated by the Welcoming and Membership Committee.
Session II – Sunday, May 17, 12:00 to 2:00 pm – Rev. Barry Andrews’ sermon topics will be UU theology and journey through history. After the service, he will facilitate a Q &A session, and Paul Wilson will lead a history tour of the KUUF campus.
Session III – Sunday, May 31, 12:00 to 2:00 pm – focuses on the work of the Social Justice Committee, and the spiritual practices that support and nourish that work. Facilitated by the Social Justice Committee.
Session IV, Sunday, June 7, 12:00 to 2:00 pm – Melinda Hughes, Director of Faith Formation, will facilitate a discussion about faith development for children and adults at KUUF.

Judy Brophy Celebration of Life: Saturday, June 13 at 1:00 pm
Judy Sherman Brophy, born January 30,1948, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 9, 2026, surrounded by caregivers and family who loved her. There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, June 13 at 1:00 pm at KUUF.
She met the love of her life and was married to Jim Brophy for over 34 years. When he passed away three years ago, it truly rocked her world. They had traveled the world together, celebrating the reunions of the Flying Tigers, which Jim flew with for many years. They had a large group of friends and held Friday movie nights (The Fanatics) and celebrated Thanksgiving with 20+ people each year. Judy would do the cooking in the quiet of her own home, while Jim and his cousin Vera would go to a football game. Judy said it was an absolute pleasure to be home cooking while they went to the game!
Judy leaves behind numerous cousins who were in contact with her and provided support, as well as many beloved friends at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and her former workplaces. One of her friends said of her, “Are you aware of how many people Judy helped?” A lovely sentiment shared by someone who loved her.
She had a feisty spirit, a creative nature, a wicked sense of humor, and will be missed by those who loved her.
In lieu of flowers, Judy loved the following organizations, and we are sure she would appreciate donations to:
Kitsap Unitarian Universalist Church
The Olympic Music Festival to support local musicians
The Youth Jazz Ensemble through the Bremerton West Sound Symphony
Rev. Carol McKinley presents Our Interdependent Web with Flower Communion
10:30am, Sunday June 7, 2026 - Online and In Person
Next Sunday, KUUF celebrates its annual flower communion, the Unitarian Universalist ritual that celebrates earth’s beauty and reminds us of the beauty that resides in nature and our relationship to it. Created more than 100 years ago, the flower communion is now celebrated in congregations throughout the world.
Please bring a flower (or two!) or sprig of green as a symbol of the unique gifts each person contributes to form a beautiful bouquet symbolizing the beauty of community and the wonder of nature.
Rev. Carol McKinley is a frequent and popular speaker at KUUF. She comes to us from the Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation where she is an affiliated community minister.
