SUNDAY
PROGRAMS
May
1 - MAY
DAY: CELEBRATING NATURE May Day is a time for
celebrating the fertility of the land and love.
We will honor the day by celebrating the lives of those who spoke for
Nature and gave shape to the American environmental movement.
Our speaker is Rev. Marguerite
Lovett. Reverend Lovett is
a fine speaker who served as minister of the Long Beach Unitarian Church for
more that 18 years. Come and enjoy. Claire
Aukerman will moderate.
May
8 – LIFE’S CLOSE CALLS
by Peter Landecker.
Have you had any life threatening close calls?
Perhaps it involved autos or airplanes or a sport or a medical diagnosis
that could have been worse. Perhaps an animal could have attacked you or had a
close call fall. Perhaps a bullet, bomb or falling rock just missed you.
Any kind of near death or life changing
experiences could have made you think about life in a different way.
Please come and share. Peter will lead the discussion.
Bob Johnson will moderate.
May
15 – BEING
UNITARIAN—WHAT IS THE APPEAL?
We have learned that there are Seven
Principles and Promises which are generally agreed on by our membership as valued and worth our support.
As you read through the seven principles, is there one that stands out
from the rest with special meaning for you?
Would you like to add a new and different idea to this list? Penny Hendricks will lead this program.
May
22 –
JUDAISM, LOOKING
WITHIN
Speaker Dee Masters returns to shed light on the life of a Jewish
family and other aspects of customs and religious practices.
Bring your ideas and questions.
Let's talk some more. As a
Unitarian, Dee enjoys exploring various religions and he is generous about
sharing some of what he learns. Dee
Masters currently attends Pacific Unitarian Church. John Simpson will moderate.
