 APRIL  2002

 

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war, that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality.  I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”                    
by Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 to April 4, 1968)

 

SUNDAY  PROGRAMS

 

April 7.  GENERAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING.  Three times each year (according to SBUF by-laws) we are required to hold a meeting of the whole membership.  Your attendance is needed.  At this spring meeting we will:  designate a nominating committee for the next Board of Directors;  vote on the proposed Mission Statement;  discuss where we go from here, including your interest in a part-time pastor, a different meeting place, financial questions, or any concern or wish you might have.  Please plan to attend.  Your input is important to everyone.

 

April 14.  MAYA ANGELOU, AN INTERVIEW.  On April 4, 2002, Maya Angelou celebrated her 74th birthday.  She shared some of this day talking with Oprah Winfrey.  Come and be lifted up by the words of this extraordinary woman, as we watch this video together and discuss racism and humanism.  Penny Hendricks will moderate this morning.

 

April 21.  DOUBLE-EDGED SWORDS:  PRIDE, LOYALTY & BRAVERY.  These attributes are typically viewed as virtues, but can be abused and misdirected.  Of what should one be proud? To what or whom should one be loyal?  How may bravery lead one astray?  Bill Nunan will moderate the discussion, and share his thoughts on the healthy expression of these energizing emotions.

 

April 28.  ELEPHANTS, BUDDHA IMAGES, AND OTHER TIDBITS FROM THAILAND.  Linda Klein will share her recent trip and what she learned from it.  Linda will moderate.

 

May 5.  WOMEN’S WORK.  (Book title)  Les Berg will share an interesting story of how women created textiles for clothing that we wear today.  This is the history of weaving and textiles from 2000 BC to the time of Christ, based on this book by Elizabeth Wayland Barber, Ph.D. from Occidental College.  Les will moderate.
