Unitarian Fellowship of Longview February Programs 5th - Science and Pseudoscience: Truth and Art? Bob Cargill
12th - Historical UU’s Sheila McElroy A presentation of historical UUs featuring John Murray and his wife Judith Sargent Murray. An informative and fun program about UUs.
19th - The Shaker Faith Terry York 26th - Called to Hope Mary Andrews (from a sermon by Rev. Kim K. Crawford Harvie Arlington Street Church, Boston) "All will come again into its strength...the fields undivided, the waters undammed, the trees towering and the walls built low. And in the valleys, people as strong and varied as the land." [Rainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours] We need one another in all our diversity...this is the foundation of spiritual community. We gather, as the Chanukah greeting goes, to nourish hope where reason fails. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ World Religions Forum One of the most successful programs at our Fellowship was held Sunday, January 8th. Because we publicized it in the community, it sparked wide interest and was covered by the Longview News-Journal. In addition, we were able to welcome many visitors from other congregations who were also eager to hear the discussion. The panel included representatives from the Wiccan, Buddhist, Islam, Christian, Hindu and Jewish faiths. By the end of the discussion, we realized that all world religions teach their adherents to care for their fellow human beings and to live in peace. continued on Page 3 ... see Forum

Mitten Tree Sheila McElroy
The 19th of December I picked
the UFL Christmas Tree clean of all the caps, gloves, mittens and scarves.
The b
I was ushered into a large room where toys and other goods were already being gathered to wrap for the Christmas party the next day. The UFL provided 29 sets of caps, gloves, mittens and scarves to keep children warm.
Thank you for the donations to the Mitten Tree and for making it a success.
