í January 31 “Evil and Compassion” Rev. Kathy Sage

 

I think our exploration (of compassion) will be shallow if we do not look at a shadow companion of compassion―evil.One of my “summer books” explored this theme: “Evil in Modern Thought: an alternative history of philosophy.”

í February 7 BISG Sermon: “Creating the Future” Rev Kathy S. Sage

 

Does change come from “cohesive social unity” or from a vigorous discussion of differences? What kind of future are you working toward? What are you reading about, discussing with others, and joining with others to create change in your community and beyond?

 

 

í February 14 “Loving You While You Are With Us” Rev Kathy S. Sage

 

What remains when we die? Or as Rev. Barbara Hamilton-Holway titles her book, “Who Will Remember Me?” This Valentine’s Day I offer a love poem for everyone ― whether you are “in love”, lacking love, considering love, or in love with the world.

í February 21 World Café: Topic: “Do We Want to Grow?” Rev Kathy S. Sage

 

A “World Café” means that everyone has an opportunity to discuss the questions that are “on the table.” Some of the questions up for discussion today are

Should we grow? Have we reached our potential in the region? Do you want to remain a small group? What are we not doing now that you’d like to see KUF doing in a new building? What prevents us from doing that activity now?  

 

At Coffee Hour the Sr. Youth will be offering a Pancake Lunch @ $5.00 a plate. They are fund-raising for their first trip to the UU UNO intergenerational Seminar in NYC in April.

 

“Listening Session” with the Committee on Ministry, after the lunch, is where the COM hears your comments on our Shared Ministry Evaluation.

 

 

íFebruary 28 “Save Our Prison Farms” Bridget Dougherty, guest speaker

 

 Why it is important for all Canadians that Canada’s six remaining prison farms are preserved. Can anything be done at this time to overcome public indifference on this issue?
