Calendar of this month's events >>
Feb. 14: "Standing on the Side of Love," Lee Marie Sanchez, consulting minister. Because love is what it's all about, on this "Freedom to Marry Sunday," we shall lift up the right to marry for all loving couples. Come and join us for some fun and some "lovely" surprises.
Feb. 21: Rev. Jim Bodman will speak on "Living Our Principles Day by Day." It seems clear that our seven principles are the heart and soul of our religion. Thus, it is wise for us to think about how we can put them into action in our daily lives. We will briefly look at each principle and make suggestions for living them as we go along.
Feb. 28: "Taoism," Lee Marie Sanchez, consulting minister. Taoism is the next world religion which we will explore as the sixth in our series on the major faiths. Unitarian Universalism is enriched by our drawing on these sources of wisdom and inspiration.

Thursday, February 18th at 12:00 noon
Dedication ceremony for UUCA's recently installed Solar Power System. We are the first church in the history of Anaheim to "go solar". Officials from Anaheim Public Utilities Department will be present, along with representatives from Vaha Solar, the company that installed the system. UUCA members will talk about how going solar achieved important spiritual and economic goals for the congregation.
Third Thursday Film club - February 18th at 7:15 pm - "Bulworth"
Playful in tone but bravely radical in concept, "Bulworth," a brilliant political satire by Warren Beatty, is one of the most surprising movies to come out of Hollywood in the past decade. A politician drops his phony, elect-me facade and decides to spill the blunt, unvarnished truth about race, class and economics. Bring snacks/drinks to share; popcorn provided.
POTLUCK FOR PROGRESSIVES - Friday, Feb. 19th
Sierra Club Speaker - Coal-less Anaheim. You are invited to an unusual event happening in Anaheim this month! The Sierra Club is forming a coalition of interested groups and individuals who will come together to assist the City of Anaheim in reducing it's coal contracts and transferring it's energy needs onto renewable energy. Please join us for a unique opportunity to learn about the issue and sign up to help educate the public about Anaheim's Dirty Secret - that we get 68% of our energy from dirty, polluting coal.
Potlucks start at 6:30 p.m. with speaker at 7:30 p.m. Please bring a food dish to share. For more information, please contact Duane at duaneroberts92804@yahoo.com.
Wednesday evenings at 7:30 - International Folk Dancing at the church!

Unitarian Universalists choose to live without the need for a strict creed or doctrine. We accept diversity as a strength and seek to join in community with those of other backgrounds. We are seldom interested in sectarian disputes or speculations about an afterlife or the supernatural. UUs are willing to participate in the search for understanding, peace and justice for all in the here and now. We respect the earth and the awe-inspiring journey of life on this planet, and we seek to improve the state of humanity worldwide.
