February 24 Making Change Reverend Jay Wolin Now that I pay for most things electronically, my payments are exact. However, occasionally, I still pay for things with cash, and I receive back change. I like the metaphor of giving and receiving change. We each give something back from what we have received. I also like the multiple entendre of “making change” to recognize that, in addition to money, it is about making change in the in our lives, our Congregation, and the larger Community. Come explore together what the cost and benefits of change are, both literally and spiritually.

March 10 Trust Reverend Jay Wolin It took me a long time in my life to trust the universe, and when I did, my life started improving. What does it mean to trust the universe? What does it mean to trust another human being? What does it mean to trust yourself? Does everything really happen for a purpose? Forum Sundays @ 9 a.m. in the Community Room

March 3rd: Support Services for Families and Children Dealing with Cancer –Camp Kasem & Gilda's Club Learn about local support services for cancer patients and their families. Join the students from Augustana College who are coordinating the Camp Kasem program to learn more about this nationwide service for children, and hear from Doug McCollum, an outreach worker from Gilda’s Club about the many support services offered. Research has shown that medical treatment is enhanced with emotional, social and educational support for the patient, as well as family members. March 10th: Climate Justice and UU's from Bobby Wengronowitz, Augustana College Visiting Assistant Professor, Sociology, Anthropology and Social Welfare Climate change can be difficult to think about, let alone address. But it's actually a straightforward problem with known solutions that will improve our lives. This talk begins with an understanding of climate change as violence. We explore how inequality is both a producer and an outcome of climate violence. We will address ways to reduce climate violence, especially the role for faith communities, including what some UU congregations have already done. Calendar |
