**************************************************************
(Social time with refreshments begins at 10:00, at the Petaluma Woman's Club, 518 B Street. Worship service at 10:30)
Sunday, March 5: "The Devotion of Justice" Guest Speaker Mitra Rahnema, Starr King Ministerial Student
The beginning of Spring is often a time in which we celebrate our religious communities and recommit ourselves to a more just world. In the service today we will look at the work of making this daily commitment, and explore the depth of personal and spiritual growth the practice of social change calls us to develop.
Sunday, March 12: "Must Be Present To Win"Leland Bond-Upson, Regular Guest Minister
When the raffle has a big prize, is more personal, or the prize-giver wants the event to be taken seriously, the requirement for eligibility is stated in these familiar words. Woody Allen has famously said, "80% of life is showing up". The Congregation's annual campaign for self-support begins today. Let's win by being present: for the campaign, for each other, and for ourselves.
