The Spiritual Lives of Children
January 29th
Service Leaders: Rev. Chris Bell, Claire Beery
The Choir sings at 11:00

With the help of Robert Coles, we examine the spiritual needs of children, and the unique spiritual wisdom that they offer those around them.

Outcasts
February 5th
Service Leaders: Rev. Chris Bell, Izzy Fischer, The Youth Group

It has been said, from the Prophets onward, that those on the margins – the rejected, broken, poor and lonely – have a special relationship to the Divine. But being on the outside really stinks! Today we’ll consider how to make EVERYONE belong with the help of our Young Religious Unitarian Unversalists.

Justice, Equity, and Compassion in Human Relations
February 12th
Service Leaders: Clovice Lewis, Susan Panttaja, Frances Corman

Our second UU Principle calls us to act toward others with justice, equity, and compassion. Compassion allows us to bridge gaps of race, creed, and society that might otherwise stop us. Compassion can be a momentary event, or it may be the spiritual basis for an entire lifetime of other-centered action. Clovice Lewis will share an experience of an extraordinary act of compassion and courage that took place at the height of the civil rights era. Though he was a child at the time, the selfless act of kindness by strangers has inspired him throughout his life.

Clovice Lewis is a member and past president of Lake County UU Fellowship, and is an award-winning cello player. He will be sharing both his thoughts and music with us.

"Well, I’m Not Really Much of a Joiner..."
February 19th
Service Leaders: Rev. Chris Bell,David Hope, Andrew Hidas
The Choir will offer music at 11:00

Political parties, charities, clubs and social groups, the Parent Teacher Organization, the Board of your condo association, the company for whom you work and, of course, the UU Congregation Santa Rosa. It seems like everybody wants a piece of you and it can get a little overwhelming. If you give of yourself without losing your self, however, the benefits of joining , both to you and the world, can be priceless.

An Unfinished Life?
February 26th
Service Leaders: Rev. Chris Bell, Andy Levine

Coinciding with a set of performances this weekend at the Glaser Center, this morning we will explore the music and message of Kate Wolf, the California folk singer who died in 1986. Her affirmation of love in the face of death was, and is, a sacred thing. And her music is as sweet as a sunrise over Annadel. Come sing with us.

Together We Share And By This We Live
March 4th
Service Leaders: Rev. Chris Bell, Claire Beery

Yes, it’s Annual Pledge Drive time. I will not ask you to give, nor to donate, nor to pay for, but to invest in this community and its brilliant possibilities. Jesus suggested that kind and generous people receive their dividends in heaven. Maybe so. But I say we also receive them right here and now...
