Tina Rushing Can you leave it behind in Omelas? Those Who Walk Away From Omelas is a short story by Ursula K. LeGuin that will leave your stomach in a knot and make you wonder who or what you would be willing to leave behind. October 9th - Paul Blakely The Tao of Jesus, or A Little Further Along My Spiritual As T. S. Eliot wrote: "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time." October 16th - Hailey Heard High Holy Days Beginning with the Jewish New Year and ending with the Day of Atonement, the High Holy Days are full of great food, melancholy worship, and time to reflect on the year past. Join us for an overview of what the High Holy Days are all about. October 23rd - John Beckett Everything Old is New Again John Beckett, Events Coordinator for the Denton Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans, will present an overview of modern Pagan religion: what it is, what it isn't, and what it means to be a Pagan in the 21st century. October 30th - Ruth Semrau El Dia De Los Muertos From the beginning of time, we have felt the need to explain the mystery of life and death. We have created rituals to try and give meaning to human existence. For example, since pre-Columbian times, el dia de los muertos has been celebrated in Mexico. On this day, the living remembered their departed friends and relatives. The Christian church absorbed this ritual along with similar ones from other cultures and it lives on in present times.Today we will remember our beloved dead. Bring photographs or other mementos to place on our Dia de los Muertos altar during the Joys and Concerns section of our service. In conjunction with this observance, we will look at the process of writing of an Ethical Will.

October Housekeepers Sherry & Jerry Beecher Juneau & Steve xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From the President's Corner Huey Mitchell Greetings Members and Friends, September 18th I attended a Presidents Dinner at the First Unitarian Church of Dallas hosted by the North Texas Association of Unitarian Universalist Societies (NTAUUS). The purpose of the Association is the promotion and coordination of Unitarian Universalism in North Texas. NTAUUS currently supports 13 Fellowships in the 57 north Texas counties, which includes Gregg County. After dinner we participated in a two hour meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to improve the current channels of communications between NTAUUS and the supporting fellowships. Unfortunately, I must admit my depth of understanding of NTAUUS was limited to the fact that we paid the Association dues each year. continued on Page 7 ..... see President's Corner |
