The Vernal Equinox: Half Light? or Half Dark?

This Sunday: The month of March is considered by many Sourdoughs to be one of the best
times of the year…no mosquitoes, plenty of bright sunshine, ample opportunity for outdoor activities, and not too cold. Of course, there is Spring Break, which often means a quick visit to Hawaii, where there is nearly 12 hours of daylight and sunshine all year long. Recognition of the Equinox has been important annual milestone for the human race for a very long time. So, dig out your finest Hawaiian shirt (don’t have one? There’s plenty at Value Village), and come to UUFF for an hour of singing and reflection as we reinforce our connection Nature and to humanity’s past. Lay Leader: Jeanne Olson. Guest Musician: Karl Montetti and his Slack Key Guitar. Greeters/Coffee: Judy Johnson and Bill Peele.

Our Stories as Our Lives

This Sunday: Frank Soos, a local writer and storyteller, will share his thoughts on sharing stories, storytelling, how we share and even remember stories. Lay Leader: Monte Jordan. Speaker: Frank Soos. Accompanist: Vera Alexander. Greeters/Coffee: Judy Johnson and Bill Peele.

The Moral and Legal Ethics of Torture

This Sunday: Few people seriously challenge the obvious truth that torture is wrong. Nonetheless, the principle is often undermined by arguments of exception, excuse and justification.  Our program explores the history and rational of the use and condemnation of torture and challenges us to consider standards of human behavior in our modern world.
