Happy New Year!

January 15th:  Soul and Sound     
Ken Whitley and Rev. Wayne Walder
Our annual service remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, with wonderful, lively music. And  maybe a conversation with Ken about sickness and health after his near death experience. 

January 22nd:  Principles      |
Rev. Wayne Walder
Justice Equity and compassion in human relationships?   Maybe the "Occupiers" have something to say "exactly" about  that. 

January 29: Imbolc -  The Pagan holiday of Candlemass  
Rev. Wayne Walder and Kendrew Pape.
After a long winter, Candlemass was the holiday to send winter away and for the Sun to grow bright enough to warm us. It was also a time for us to wonder about the future.

February 5           Black History in Canada         
Dr. Wilburn Hayden
The talk is grounded in four of our Seven Principles: the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equity, and compassion in human relations; acceptance of one another; and a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. We are just now including blacks in accounts of Canadian history. For most of us, Canadian history has not presented non-white populations as participants in our development as a nation. The talk will look at historical events and explore the question of omission or exclusion. 

February 12          Multi-generational Heart Communionj      
Amanda Henderson
In this dramatic all-ages service, we’ll join the people of the village “Bountiful” in their search for a new Mayor. A contest is held to find a new leader that will love all the people in the village: a leader with a perfect heart. The people of Bountiful may be surprised by what they learn about love in the process.

February 19         Justice, Equity and Compassion    
Rev. Wayne Walder  
Long ago I walked into a barbershop and the barber said, "where do you come down, on justice or compassion?"  I hope we can have a conversation about just that!

February 26         Encouraging Spiritual Growth           
Rev. Wayne Walder
Our Mission statement expects us to have a spiritual life.  In fact it assumes that unless we have a spiritual life we will burn out in our social or political work.    What is your practice?
