SUNDAY SERVICES at 10:00 a.m. Sunday, May 7, 2017 - 10:00 am Rev. David Blanchard: "Holding up the Mirror." "As some folks may realize, the UUA is in the midst of a time of challenge and upheaval. The President of the Association has resigned, as have two other senior administrators. The central issue is the discontinuity between what we "say" and what we "do" about racial/ethnic/cultural inclusion. Please read about the dynamics of the debate on the UUA’s website www.uua.org. I plan to offer more time than usual for us to reflect on the challenges we face as a religious movement." Sunday, May 14, 2017 - 10:00 am Dan Berggren: "Adam and Eve, and the Apple." "From the Old Testament book of Genesis and St. Augustine to Mark Twain and Clarence Darrow, Dan Berggren provides a commentary on several perspectives of the Garden of Eden, the symbolic First Couple, the Fall of Man and the Forbidden Fruit." Sunday, May 21, 2017 - 10:00 am Rev. Linda Van Slyke: "Good Humor – Sweeter than Ice Cream." "I scream, you scream, we all scream with laughter. But what is it that tickles our funny bones, and why?" Sunday, May 28, 2017 - 9:30 am/Silence & 10:00 am/Service John Thompson: "Hand in Hand, In this World."
