February 4 -  SHARING WORK EXPERIENCE    Come to share the kind of works we have done, and the meaning the work had for us.  Everyone is welcome to speak of their experiences and are also welcome to simply listen.  Lorna McClellan will lead this program.

 

February 11 - REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER   Bill Maher interviews Adam Schiff (D-CA).  Bill has discussions with a panel of Bari Weiss, Johann Hart, April Ryan and Richard Painter.

 

February 18 –  SERVICE IS OUR PRAYER     UU Rev. Jon Dobrer can he offer a quick fix for the broken hearts in Florida?  If one thinks about what happened there, it is easy to succumb to anger, and the worst pain and sorrow.  I wonder if I will ever think of Valentines’ Day the same way ever again?

 

February 25 – Remembering the families of Florida who lost their precious children who were shot February 14, on  Valentine’s Day.  You can listen to the words of their classmates.  Will they be able to go back to school?  This is a tape from MSNBC. Their voices are asking all of us to do what needs to be done.  Let’s discuss.

 

March 4 – NUCLEAR FEARS. The latest TIME Magazine front page title was “Making America Nuclear Again”. Peter will lead a discussion about the dangers and risks associated with nuclear weapons.

 

March 11 – WRESTLING WITH FEAR AND ANGER.  UU Rev. Jon Dobrer will be our wrestling coach.
