 Sunday, January 8, 2017: "WHAT IS EXISTENCE? ART THOU THAT? Drawing Beliefs about Reality from Hinduism and Buddhism"
Time: 10:30am
Speaker: Rev. Jack Donovan

What beliefs do the Vedic religions of Hinduism and Buddhism offer to help increase our understanding about Reality?  Are you one with everything, or one with nothing? Whence comes your life power and potential? What is this world in which you live? If your beliefs about Reality and Life set the context for choosing your best way to live, does increasing your understanding of Reality seem like a good idea?

 Sunday, January 1, 2017: "What If All You Ever Wanted Wasn't Enough?"
Time: 10:30am
Speaker: Susan Burnore
Worship Leader: Patti Hanks

For the second week, we have a holiday on Sunday, so we'll again meet in Gilmour Hall.  Arrive by 10:30 a.m. as usual and get a nice cup of coffee or something else warming.  Then find a place at one of the tables before the service begins at 10:45.  Spend a few minutes getting to know the folks around you. 

Susan and Patti will be sharing their thoughts on, "What If Everything You Ever Wanted Isn't Enough?"  A pretty good topic as we reflect on 2016 and look ahead to 2017. After the excesses of some Christmases, and on this day of evaluation and promise, we look to the wisdom of Rabbi Harold Kushner, in his book based on the Biblical Ecclesiastes.  What truly brings satisfaction?  Is enough ever enough? 

There will be no regular RE for the children that Sunday, so all the kids are invited to stay in the service.

Nursery Care will be available!

 Sunday, December 25, 2016: "Christmas Cafe and Brunch"
Time: 10:30am
Speaker: Susan Burnore

The Worship Committee and UUs Helping People invite you to a special Christmas Cafe Service and brunch on Christmas morning. Arrive by 10:30am as usual but come directly into Gilmour Hall. Get a nice cup of coffee or something else warming, then find a place at one of the tables before the service begins at 10:45. The Worship Committee is planning a casual, music-and-story-filled service on the idea of "What is the Christmas Spirit?"

After the service, stick around for a light brunch (egg strata, fruit salad, sweet rolls and a gluten free option) offered by UUHP. $4/individual, $10/family, or be our guest. Proceeds will go to Celebrate Outreach's Tiny Homes for Homeless Vets project.

Nursery Care will be available! 

4:00pm - 7:00pm - Everyone is invited to the home of Paul and Susan Burnore for a traditional Christmas buffet.  We'll have holiday movies on the TV, carols on the piano, and lots of goodies on the table.  Come on your own, or bring your whole family, but PLEASE let us know if you're coming. Contact Susan at susanburnore@gmail.com or 770-480-0200.

Can you bring something?  Sure!  But it's absolutely okay if you don't.  We'll have plenty of food and fellowship to send everyone home with lots of that Christmas spirit we'll be talking about in the morning.
