SUNDAY PROGRAMS
November
7 – THREE
WISHES If you were granted 3 wishes (only 3???),
what would you wish for? You
can think---in the world?, in
society?, in your personal life? This
requires a possible shift to some “magical” thinking.
Come to share your thoughts and learn something about the person sitting
next to you. Penny Hendricks
will lead the discussion. (Don’t
forget to change your clocks.)
November 14 – THE SIDE AFFECTS OF NOVEMBER 2 John Simpson will lead the discussion and give us a chance to voice our concerns. Is there an “up” side to this election and the changes made? John Simpson will moderate.
November
21 – A DOOR I CAN OPEN These
are some reflections on a little noticed shift in consciousness that can
render the upcoming holiday more real. The
Reverend Emeritus Ernie
Pipes will present this program today.
Rev. Pipes served as minister of the UU Church of Santa Monica. Thom
Kilpatrick will moderate.
November 25 – HAVE
A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING DAY
CELEBRATION

January
2 – HOLIDAY PARTY at the
Johnson-Klein home.
Mark your calendars for a festive time, starting at 4:00 p.m.
It's time for the annual Fellowship and friends Holiday Party and
Potluck. Bring a wrapped 'white elephant' (see below) for the gift game to
follow dinner (optional). Please RSVP and let Linda and Bob know what pot you
are bringing. So bring your good cheer, your white elephant, and your pot for an
evening of fun and good eats. According to Webster’s Dictionary: WHITE
ELEPHANT
1. An abnormally
whitish or pale elephant, usually found in Thailand; an albino elephant. 2. A possession
entailing great expense out of proportion to its usefulness or value to the
owner. 3. A possession
unwanted by the owner but difficult to dispose of. (For this party, please refer
to # 3.)
