11/1: Fall Into Fun: Our Annual Westside Auction  by Rev. Carol Bodeau

Join us for this fun celebration of our collective gifts as we get to know one another better and share the abundance we create when we work together.

 

Most of today’s service will be the auction party, so plan to hear great music, bid on some wonderful treasures, and generally enjoy yourself.

 

11/8: Gratitude and Grace: How Appreciation Leads to Generosity by Rev. Carol Bodeau

Often, when we think of appreciation, we think about all the things we already have. In very real ways, “appreciation” can lead to the increase of what is possible and what we have. But this word doesn’t just mean “recognize value”; it also means “increase in value” (think of financial assets ‘appreciating’). How does this work in our lives? And how can we leverage gratitude to make our own lives, and the lives of others, richer?

11/15: What Would Jesus Be? by Gary Jackoway 

We know little about the historical Jesus of Nazareth, save the statements and parables attributed to Him in the Gospels. The question to consider is, "What Would Jesus Be?" That is, if Jesus were here today, where would He best fit in modern religious circles? And, specifically, would he be comfortable in a Unitarian-Universalist setting?

 

11/22:  ‘Tis the Ancestors’ Breaths by Rev. Carol Bodeau

At this time of year, as holiday traditions are at the forefront of our minds and hearts, we are often thinking about those who have passed from this life. Today, we honor the ancestors who have touched us, in a celebration of remembrance. Please bring photos or other mementos of those you love (including pets) who have passed to add to our communal altar.
