| Sunday, January 8, 10:30 a.m. | Tanzanian Reflections Kathryn Nicholson Coordinator: Anne McLeod & Audrey Taylor |
Kathryn Nicholson is a member (and former Music Director) of the North Shore Unitarian Church who, along with her son, spent a month volunteering in Africa with an organization called Cross Cultural Solutions. Because of her nursing background, Kathryn was placed in the local hospital in Bagamoyo - to help deliver babies! But, as a musician, she also had many memorable experiences singing, dancing and drumming with the local people! Food Bank collection today. |
| Sunday, January 15, 10:30 a.m. | Waldo Rev. Ev Morris Coordinator: Joan Morris |
He was the third of six sons, and was generally considered the least promising of the bunch. His eccentric maiden aunt, Mary, was four feet three inches tall and slept in a coffin-shaped bed. Waldo thought her the best writer in Massachusetts. Come and hear more about this man. |
| Sunday, January 22, 10:30 a.m. | A Man Called Qoheleth John Slattery Coordinators: Marilyn Meden |
What do the singer/songwriter Pete Seeger, the expression "Eat, drink and be merry," and an ancient Hebrew known as Qoheleth (who will be making a personal appearance) all have in common? And why should we care? Come and find out as we explore the issue of the right way to live, taken from an unusual point of view. |
| Sunday, January 29, 10:30 a.m. | Music, Dance, Worship, and Spirit Rose Matovich Coordinator: Donna Hamilton |
How interconnected these words are! Rose Matovich is offering a service based on the music and words of musicians such as Oliver Mtukudzi of Zimbabwe, Angelique Kidjo of Brazil, and Mirium Makeba of South Africa. These musicians have used their talent and dedication to help people rise up and make better lives for themselves and others. Now, in an interactive service, we have the opportunity to be inspired by their music. We can look forward to the excitement of drums, and swaying and dancing. |
| Sunday, February 5, 10:30 a.m. | Our Dream and Our Mission Ralph Greer, Marilyn Medén, Sue Sparlin Coordinators: Anne McLeod and Gary Atha |
Come and celebrate Beacon's Birthday by sharing a few looks back at our history and then forward into our future. What was Beacon's dream for our community in those early days? What is Beacon's mission now? Choir sings! There will be birthday cake!! Food Bank collection today!!! |
| Sunday, February 12, 10:30 a.m. | The Power of Love Presented by: Out In Harmony Coordinator: Donna Hamilton |
At this time of year, our culture goes crazy in celebrating romance, but the human experience includes so many more kinds of love. Today, Out in Harmony (formerly the Vancouver Lesbian and Gay Choir) will be our guests as we explore and celebrate some of the many facets of love that touch and shape our lives. |
| Sunday, February 19, 10:30 a.m. | If Not Now, When? Rev. Ev Morris Coordinator: Joan Morris |
This service is a call to use the freedom Unitarians have to deepen their own personal explorations of life, death and other religious questions. We have been given this freedom by those who came before us and it is natural and responsible to ask about ways to benefit from and use this great gift. Choir sings! |
| Sunday, February 26, 10:30 a.m. | A Peek at Peak Oil Allegra Sloman Coordinators: Sally Frith & Jason des Roches |
Allegra hopes to pique your interest in the current news theme "We're running out of everything except people and pollution." There is a theory that there is no more easily extracted fossil fuel, a dearth of which will lead to problems in virtually every aspect of modern life. Is it true? Should we be concerned? Or should we leave room for realistic optimism amid the doomsday scenarios? Soup lunch after the service. |
