An adult RE discussion forum program based on “The Necessity of Virtue” sermon series by the Rev. Dr. Galen Guengerich will begin on Sunday, January 29 after the coffee hour (12:15 p.m.) in the sanctuary. This session will focus on the virtue of courage and will be facilitated by Mary Alsager.
These sessions will be held monthly through June to coincide with the virtue theme for a particular month in worship. Upcoming virtue topics include compassion, justice, temperance, transcendence and hope. These facilitated forum sessions will allow more in-depth discussion of the sermon presentations on virtue – as well as exploration into how we demonstrate these virtues in our own lives and how we can help our children develop these virtues.
Watch the UUFCM online calendar and announcement inserts for upcoming discussion forum dates. Please join us for some – or all of these sessions.

During worship this coming Sunday, January 22, we will begin our 2012 “Guest at Your Table” program. When we take home our Guest at Your Table boxes and place them prominently where we regularly gather, our families and friends have the chance to learn about real people who are succeeding in their struggles for justice with the assistance of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC).

We are delighted to report that our OWL (Our Whole Lives) program is up and running for our 4th-7th graders. We had a very successful parent meeting on January 5, and the first OWL class met the following Sunday, January 8, with nine young people, all from our fellowship. They will meet again for eight more Sunday evenings in January and February plus the first Sunday in March, in order to complete the 8-session curriculum. They are being led by our two trained facilitators, Mary Alsager and Norma Bailey, so we raise our hats to them for the important work they are doing with our young people.

On Sunday, October 30 we invite all RE children and youth (and so inclined adults!) to dress in costume for worship and RE activities. Our worship service theme for that Sunday will be “Days of the Dead: An All Hallows Reflection” so costumes would be appropriate and most welcome!
