February 4: Homelessness & UUFCM Norma Bailey Homelessness is a significant issue in Isabella County, and we are fortunate to have the Isabella County Restoration House (ICRH) which provides temporary shelter and works to help guests move toward self-sufficiency. Dee Obrecht, the Executive Director of ICRH, will share with us how the shelter works, what its future direction is, and how we members and friends of UUFCM can make a difference by our participation. Our UU Principles and UU values certainly guide us to support these critical efforts. | Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 402489218 One tap mobile +16468769923,,402489218# Phone - audio only +1 646 876 9923 |
February 11: The Power of Surprise Rev. Drew Frantz Authors Tania Luna and Leeann Renninger have written a book called Surprise with the subtitle “embrace the unpredictable and engineer the unexpected.” They explain the psychology behind human surprise, and encourage us to cultivate surprise in our daily lives. This is a spiritual practice of mindfulness and appreciating life that all of us could benefit from. | Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 402489218 One tap mobile +16468769923,,402489218# Phone - audio only +1 646 876 9923 |
February 18: Equity & Justice Rev. Drew Frantz In Unitarian Universalism, justice and equity are two of our core values. What is fair and how do we define it? How can we grapple with the instinct for greed that is part of human nature--and a big part of American culture? Current issues in the public arena, such as ballot questions for public projects, give us an opportunity to see how our values translate into actions.
