SUNDAY
PROGRAMS
August
7 – THE FILTER BUBBLE
Eli Parser's new book describes the impact that
the personalization of the internet is having on how we access information. It's
making sharing of common information much more difficult. People simply
don't get the same information. New research shows that the Internet is
affecting the way we think. John
Simpson will outline Parser's thesis and lead a discussion.
August 14 – THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FREEDOM RIDERS
Through
this tape we can meet some of the Freedom Riders of May 14, l961 as they share
the story of the terrible ride 50 years ago.
Why did these people get on those buses?
Where were you in May of 1961 and what were you doing?
Penny Hendricks will show this
tape and moderate.
August 21 - WORKING
Sharing our work experiences - paid
or unpaid - whether the work is current
work or whether we did the work in the past. What meaning does the
work have for you? Does it give you joy? Pain? Was it a
"good fit" for you? Come and share stories of what happened on
jobs you have had. Lorna
McClellan will lead the program.
August
28 –
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?
Les Berg will lead the
discussion.
September
4 –
LABOR DAY WEEK END (no meeting at
Mathews Cottage today)
September 11 – WHY
LABOR UNIONS ARE HATED Labor
Day was Monday, September 5. Our dear
friend and
Unitarian Universalist Reverend Emeritus Ernie Pipes
will present this topic and lead our discussion. Bob Johnson will be moderator today.

25 – FOOD, INC (AND
OTHER VALUABLE INFORMATION)
We will take a brief quiz and discuss how food choices affect our
society. We will view a tape that
was seen on Oprah. This is very
informative and provides “food” for thought.
Penny Hendricks will moderate.
