February 2008 Newsletter
“Every gun that is made, every warship that is launched, every rocket
signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,
from those who are cold and are not clothed.
The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its
scientists, the hopes of its children.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower, April
16, 1953
SUNDAY PROGRAMS
February
3 - ELECTION DISCUSSION They're calling it Tsunami Tuesday because so many states
including California have moved their Presidential Primaries to February. Here
in California voters also vote on important ballot initiatives.
Bring along any information on the various propositions as we discuss it
all. John Simpson will moderate.
February
10 - HAVE WE OVERCOME?
February has been designated as Black History Month, although some people
question that. Today we will look at how far we, as U.S. citizens, have come
and look back at some history and focus on changes that we see.
Penny Hendricks will show a video shown on January 21st, a
holiday set aside to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Some do not think that racism exists now.
What do you think? Penny
will moderate.
February 17 - UPDATE Instead of the originally scheduled above program, there will be a memorial service for longtime SBUF member Richard Lynn Johnson to celebrate his life. There will be an opportunity to share memories about Richard. Richard was born on September 25, 1929 and died on February 13, 2008.
February
24 - "The Necessity of Respect"
Reverend John Morehouse returns to explore the second smooth stone of
religious liberalism. Why is
tolerance not enough in liberal religion? What
does respect mean in our daily lives? John
invites us to come together and join in the conversation. Rev.
John Morehouse is currently full time minister of Pacific Unitarian Church in
Palos Verdes. Rev. John will lead
the program. Click

2 - JOIE DE VIVRE For
the mature Unitarian, Joie de Vivre is an ideal state, suggests Claire Aukerman.
She hopes to enlighten us by sharing articles of new information as well
as verifying some old wives tales about health. Using various sources and portions of the text from a class
she recently took at Dominguez Hills, Claire will inspire us to “use it but
not lose it” referring to our minds, our bodies, and our life force (i.e.,
spirit). Penny Hendricks will
moderate.
