ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPCOMING EVENTS

Holiday Fundraiser for our high-school-age youth
UUP high school youth will be selling Holiday Cards at UUP after the services beginning this Sunday. If you're thinking about buying cards this year, please consider buying from our youth. Our youth are also planning to create gift bags and gift tags, for sale in December. Proceeds from the sales will help pay for their Coming of Age Program, a series of retreats and UUP youth activities. Many thanks to Susan Price, KC Greaney, Ellen Beeler and Carol West for their support of this fundraiser at the recent card making workshop. Also, special thanks to Rosemary Dodd and Ashley West for their artistic assistance.

This Sunday, November 16, 2008: "Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters"
Guest speaker: Earl Cruser
Worship Leader: Lara Abel
UUP Member Earl Cruser is one of our two representatives to the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. This Sunday, Earl will talk about UU Service Committee and Justice, as well as the Guest at Your Table Program. Earl brings us the Petaluma Brass Quintet (you'll recognize several of the members), which will present musical selections during the service.

Sunday, November 23, 2008: Our Spiritual Symbols and Practices: Stone Soup for the UU Soul
Worship Leader: Jodi Boyle
We gather together each week as a spiritual community to worship and experience the energy of our collective intent to grow into harmony with the Divine. In addition to what we do during our time together, many of us have individual practices and rituals that are also part of our spiritual journey. Please bring with you to our service a symbol, token or other item that has spiritual significance to you or is part of your individual growth. We will share with each other the things we've brought, learning and appreciating along the way the many ingredients in the spiritual soup that nourishes this community.
Please also bring with you a vegetable, a bit of rice, a few potatoes or anything else you have on hand to contribute to the "stone soup" that the children will be making during the service. Plan to stay after the service for a delicious soup lunch and good company.
