SHARING YOUR CONCERNS (PERSONAL, POLITICAL, OR OTHERWISE)
Sometimes sharing what is on your mind or in your heart, can make a difference
in how you see a situation. Come to a place where you can agree to
disagree.
November 11 –
IN SPITE OF TIME AND DEATH It is said that the veil
between this world and the next gets very thin at this time of year. Rev.
Theresa Masters, an experienced hospice chaplain and grief counselor, will
lead us in a celebration of Samhain, Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, and the
ongoing connections we have with those who have gone before. Please bring a
small photo or object to place on the altar in memory of a deceased loved one.
Rev. Theresa Masters is an ordained Interfaith minister. She is a chapel
minister at the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes. Rev. Theresa and
husband Dee and have two adult daughters and one grandson and have been members
of Pacific Unitarian Church for 32 years. Carol Simpson will moderate.
NOVEMBER 18 -
THE VALUE OF GRATITUDE How do you view the experiences of
your life? Do you kvetch more than appreciate? When we actually
express gratitude, we activate the part of the brain that floods the body with
feel-good hormones. Penny Hendricks presents this simple way to
give a positive tweak to our attitude. When we express gratitude, there is
positive reinforcement within both parties. Our souls are nourished by a
little attitude adjustment. Penny will lead the program.
