    ******************COMMUNICATION CORNER*******************

    ABOUT PROGRAMS: Is there a topic that you would like to see offered for discussion? Is there a speaker that you would like to see invited back? Do you have a special interest that you would like to share? Lorna McClellan has been doing a really great job coming up with the variety of programs that we have enjoyed in the last two years, but we all could help her by giving her our ideas and feedback. (Perhaps we could also let her know her effort is very much appreciated.) If you have an idea, call Lorna.

    Les Berg underwent cataract surgery on Thursday, July 6.

    Bea Schwartz has been has been dealing with very painful foot problems.

    Richard Johnson and Lorna McClellan just returned from a trip north to Washington and beyond. They spent some traveling time with Eric Johnson. They also stopped for a visit with Art Schwartz.

    Penny and Chuck Hendricks are heading for Greece again mid-August.

    About our fellowship: As you know, our membership is high in quality, but limited in quantity. Please come to Sunday meetings whenever you can. More is better: more energy, more ideas, more hugs, more discussion. Your participation is valued. Hope to see more of you!

     

     

     

     

     

    Unitarian Universalist Principles and Purposes

    We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote:

    The living tradition we share draws from many sources:

    Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces that create and uphold life;

    Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion and the transforming power of love;

    Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;

    Jewish and Christian teaching which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;

    Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against Idolaters of the mind and spirit;

    Spiritual teaching of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with rhythms of nature.

    Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising to one another our mutual trust and support.
