But Seriously Folks…
Rev. Norm Stewart
Larry Plummer, Worship Associate
G.K. Chesterton said that, “it is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.” Over the years, our Unitarian Universalist faith has had its fair share of jokes made about it—maybe even more than its fair share. What do those jokes reveal about us and our way of being religious together?
Larry Plummer believes, “the topics of our whimsy and silliness say a lot about ourselves, but - perhaps more importantly -tells us something about our beliefs and the strength of the faith community to which we belong.”

A Dream Deferred
Rev. Norm Stewart
Ann Pal & Jackie Weddington, Worship Associates
Just about 48 hours before the scheduled Inauguration of President Barack Obama, the first person of color to be elected President of the U.S., our service will honor the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. Obama’s election, like the marches Dr. King led in the 60’s, is another milestone on the road toward the American promise of liberty and justice for all. Today’s service will commemorate those milestones and look down the road to what might be next.
New Members Recognition
New members to our congregation will be recognized
during the Sunday Service. If you have recently become a member or were
unable to attend the last recognition service, please plan to attend and be
recognized. Following the service, new members will be honored downstairs
in the Fellowship Hall with a Fellowship potluck.
Members and friends, please plan to bring a dish to share on January 18th and
stay for a meal to get to know the new members and socialize with other
friends.

Respect
Welcoming Congregation Committee &
Rev. Norm Stewart, Worship Associate
Our first UU principle says we will affirm and promote “the inherent worth and dignity of every person.” Respect for “every person” is a core value of our faith. We know that respect comes from understanding. Even a blanket “liberal” response (like ‘some of my best friends are...’) could indicate a need for more in depth thought.
Come hear three GUUF members talk about their experiences growing up and coming out as gay and lesbian people in our society. Try to understand and respect a little more.

Rememberfulness : Drs. of Durability
Rev. Norm Stewart
Sarah Lopez, Worship Associate
This multigenerational Drs. of Durability celebration will honor all members who now qualify as a part of our Fellowship’s elders (70 and over). Several of them will be receiving honorary Doctorates. Drawing upon the wisdom and memories of some of our long-time members, we will honor the gift of their presence among us.
Following the service, elder members will be our guests for a Souper Bowl Sunday lunch.

It’s shorts time! Most of the films I receive arrive with accompanying “shorts.”
These complete films come from around the world and share in common a chance
to surprise us, visually please us, and usually teach us something about ourselves.
