September 27: "Forgiveness," Lee Marie Sanchez states, "Forgiveness is not forgetting, but a process of letting go so that we have room in our lives for what is important to us - love, joy, happiness, and healthy relationships. This is our fourth annual sermon on this topic and one of our most popular. People tell me that this is a renewing experience which brings them a sense of peace and healing, and opens their hearts to joyful possibilities. We will, appropriately, honor the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the "Day of Atonement."
October 4: Association Sunday. This is the day that we honor and support our national Unitarian Universalist Association, headquartered in Boston, Mass. Bill Smith and Gary Sjogren will present a program on the theme of diversity, a key UU value.

one billion adherents. Come and join us this morning and you may be surprised to hear the connections of this faith with Unitarian Universalism.
