SUNDAY PROGRAMS
March
26 - KATRINA, SIX MONTHS LATER On
this UUSC JUSTICE SUNDAY, we will take a look at some injustice.
This will be a video tape presentation that shows what has happened to
many displaced persons and what has not been done in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Reporters Andersen Cooper of CNN and correspondent Lisa Ling take us on
this revealing trip. A discussion
of what is happening there now will follow.
Penny Hendricks will moderate.
April
2 - PURITY AND DANGER. The
Rev. Ernie Pipes will speak about our quest for purity, order and control by way
of distinctions. His talk will also
offer an analysis of the concepts of pollution and taboo.
Ernie Pipes was the longtime minister of the Santa Monica Unitarian
Church. Beth Perkins will moderate.
April
9 - IS SELF-WORTH DEFINED BY OUR NET WORTH?
Everyone is interested in money, and almost all of us are concerned about
having enough or keeping what we have. Yet
dollars alone don't guarantee a fulfilling life, and excessive wealth more often
than not becomes an obstacle to contentment. Are
we truly using our money to support our values?
Trish Lester -- a congregation member from UU Santa Clarita and
successful entrepreneur, saver and investor -- will lead us in an enlightening
service that explores money and spirituality.
Carol Simpson will moderate.
April
16 - "DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE BIBLE"
This book by Kenneth C. Davis presents some facts you may never
have learned in Sunday School. Was Jericho
built on an earthquake fault? Did
the Jews really cross the Red Sea? Davis
examines some of the biblical archaeological evidence and explains
mistranslations. Linda Klein leads
as we continue through the bible during this Passover holiday and examine when
and if the Jews were slaves in Egypt, their exodus out of bondage, and their
journey across the desert. Linda
will moderate.
April
23 HEAVEN What is Heaven?
What does it look like? How
do you get there? Who gets into
heaven? These questions and many
more are asked and answered in interviews between Barbara Walters and a variety
of people, including the Dalai Lama, a Cardinal, a Rabbi, a black minister, a
Moslem, born again Christians, and others.
We will begin this video tape shortly after 11:00 a.m. to allow time for
some discussion. Penny Hendricks
will moderate.

Last year the auction was held later in the fiscal year on May 14. This year we are trying a variation of the auction, something with new twist that will combine fund raising with social activity. Click here as well as read upcoming newsletters for more details.
If there is a particular topic you would like to see presented on a Sunday morning, or an organization you want to know more about, or a good book you would like to share, or any other ideas for Sunday morning programs, please call Penny Hendricks (newsletter editor) and she will pass it on to the program committee. Your input is valuable to us! Thank you for your help. Call Penny and leave a message.
