Coming Programs: 


January 15 How Secret is the Brain Dwight Raulston
“If the conscious mind - the part you consider to be you - is just the tip of the iceberg, what is the rest doing?” Dwight Raulston will comment on the work of David Eagleman, a noted neuroscientist who heads a research center at Baylor University. His new book, Incognito, is currently a best seller.
January 22 Impermanence Kim Willis
This Buddhist concept is made tangible in the sand paintings completed painstakingly by monks that are then swept away. One thing we can be sure of is things will always change yet we often find it uncomfortable to deal with the change in our lives. Opportunities present themselves with every change we encounter.
January 29 Hagar's Prayer Laura Emerson
The story of Hagar and her son, Ishmael, abandoned to the desert by Abraham, is one of the most poignant in the Bible. It is evocative for anyone who has felt similarly abandoned by family or trusted allies, to a vulnerable future. But the story is fascinating for two other reasons as well. Literally, it marks a first in the Bible and perhaps in ancient literature. Sociologically, because the story is so different in Biblical and Koranic accounts, it explains some of the antipathy between Jews and Arabs for thousands of years. Perhaps this service will offer something for both your heart and your mind.
February 5 The Necessity of Virtue: Justice Bill James
The inherent worth and dignity of every person is the first of UU principles and stands as the cornerstone of Justice, the topic of Bill James' presentation. Based on the sermons of Rev. Galen Guengerich, James will explore its importance in our religious lives.
February 12 Reflections of General Assembly and Celebrating Our UFH Birthday Dodie McKellar & Val Harrop
Each year, Unitarian Universalists meet as an Association to do Association business. This meeting is called our General Assembly. This year's GA will be held in Phoenix, AZ from June 20 to June 24. It will be a gathering with multiple ways of engaging in justice work for people of all ages. Joining with the people of Arizona, we will worship, witness, learn and work together. We will leave General Assembly grounded in our faith, energized for justice and with resources to bring this work home to our congregations.

Statement of Purpose
We seek to provide an atmosphere of warm companionship and respect for free and inquiring minds, searching together for finer religious, ethical, and social truths, and we work to apply the best we know in our lives, in the lives of our children, and in the service of our fellow humans.
