November 6: "The Purpose of Life"
Regular guest minister, Leland Bond-Upson.

I do believe I know. Or rather, I believe I have at least as good an idea as any astrophysicist or philosopher, and a better idea than most theologians. As the Buddhists believe, and perhaps intuition suggests, it's quite simple. But ah! --the implications! And hey --what about the meaning of life? Is that the same as the purpose, or different?

*After the service, Leland will meet with anyone who would like to gain further insight into the basics of Unitarian Universalism.


November 13: "Sacred Words"

A participation service wherein members of the congregation are invited and encouraged to bring a short reading, story, or song that they find inspirational. Your own poems or your stories are especially appreciated.

*Don't forget the Harvest Dance at 5:30pm at the Woman's Club Building!

Stone Soup Sunday, November 6

Please join the children and youth of UUP for a Stone Soup lunch immediately following the service. The Stone Soup story of community and sharing will be reenacted using vegetables that you bring from home. Please bring a carrot, a potato, an onion, a small baggie of rice, or whatever you wish to add to the soup. These items will be gathered and added to the soup by our youth group. The rest of our children will be preparing bread sticks, green salad, and cookies. Any questions? Please call Marlene Abel, interim DRE, or email her at marlenea at sonic.net.
