Nov. 22: Lee Marie Sanchez, "Gratitude" Gratitude allows the heart to stay open to love and hope. As Helen Keller noted, "No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."
Nov. 29: "Food for Thought." Several of our members will talk about traditional foods from their culture and bring samples for us to enjoy.
Dec. 6: "Buddhism," Lee Marie Sanchez. "Buddhism" is well-known in the West...or is it? We
hear and read about Thich Nhat Han and the Dalai Lama and others but it is a complex and ancient faith as well as one which has adapted itself many times to many cultures, now including our own in the US.
What does Unitarian Universalism have in common with Buddhism? Come join us this morning and find out! Let's all be here as well to welcome several of our new Members to be recognized this morning.
Dec. 13: "Ethical Eating." What are the moral, spiritual and health issues related to a vegetarian, vegan or omnivore diet? Edward Dunvan, Karen Malley, Ruth Shapin and Gary Sjogren will address these issues.
Dec. 20: Lee Marie Sanchez, "An Authentic Unitarian Universalist Christmas" will be celebrated by one and all this morning. You may not yet realize how much this holiday belongs to us, but you will soon. You will easily recognize the songs of the season written by our very own people, and may be surprised at how important our contributions are to Christmas. Bring your family and friends! It is almost hard to believe that this will be my 4th Christmas with you. I'll bet the sanctuary will be beautiful with holly and ivy and lights. And then we shall swing into 2010 together, WOW!
Dec. 27: "Looking Back, Looking Forward." As the year ends, UUCA officers and committee chair-persons will reflect on what we have accomplished and where we would like to go in 2010.
