December 4: "Tarot, I Ching, and the WooWoo Sisterhood"
Leland Bond-Upson, Regular Guest Minister*
I am a hard rationalist, but I don't dismiss the ancient avenues to knowledge. There is much wisdom, insight, and foresight in those words and traditions. Yet believing in the supernatural, if only for a while, is almost necessary if one is to feel the full force and pleasure of the mystical, prophesying arts.
*Please plan to stay after the service for the congregational meeting.
December 11: "A Lifetime of Dreaming"
Rev. Jeremy Taylor, Guest Minister
"When I was a child I spake as a child," did I dream as a child? "When I got old I spoke of meaningful things," what about my dreams? Is there a progression? How do our dream change as we age?"
**************************************************************
Congregational Meeting this Sunday!
Our next Congregational Meeting will be held after the service on Sunday, December 4th. We will be reviewing the budget and voting to fill the vacancies on the Board of Trustees. These are important issues, so please try to attend if you can. All members in good standing are eligible to vote. Lunch will be provided.
There will be a craft table set up during the meeting for the children and youth to make evergreen wreaths, snowflake holiday cards and "stained glass" window hangings.
*************************************************************
Christmas Eve Service
The Santa Rosa Congregation and UUP are celebrating a joint Christmas Eve service held in their new building (547 Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa). Rev. Fran Dew, worship associates Lara Abel (UUP), and Cathie Wiese (UUCSR) will lead a service of holiday candlelight and music. Plan ahead to attend this very special early evening worship. There will be no service on Sunday, December 25 at UUP.
************************************************************
St. Lucia's Day Celebration
The children and youth will celebrate St. Lucia's Day on December 18 as part of the the worship service. This tradition of sharing and light will include costumes, food, and a procession. All youth and children may participate if they wish. Costumes and props will be provided, but it would help if children would wear a white shirt that day- buttoned shirt, polo, or turtleneck without writing or colored designs, if possible.
************************************************************
Become a Chalice Lighter!
Spread the word on Unitarian Universalism! Would it be great to hear about Unitarian Universalism on local public radio? The Chalice Lighters program was established to "Promote and Strengthen Unitarian Universalism" by facilitating congregational growth.
Individuals participate in Chalice Lighters by making contributions to the Chalice Lighters fund three times a year ($10 basic level). The donated money goes to fund growth projects planned and implemented by congregations in the Pacific Central District.
Right now, they have a call out for contributions towards an innovative media campaign throughout the Bay Area, with radio spots and other publicity that would be of great benefit to our congregation. UUP was started with the assistance of a generous Chalice Lighter grant that enabled us to secure our initial lease on the Woman's Club and to begin to pay guest speakers. We hope to apply for another grant, soon, in order to further our local ministry.
Preference for these grants is given to congregations with a higher proportion of members who participate as Chalice Lighters.
Brochures are available on the table in back at UUP services, or you can visit www.pcd-uua.org/chalice-lighters/lighters.htm for further information. Please consider joining NOW, and helping this vital work!
