Sunday September 5
9:30 a.m. Forum: Sue Michalson and Eleanor Strickland will present a
Power Point presentation
called MYTH BUSTERS. So much misinformation is flooding the
airwaves and so many people
believe the 'myths' created. Sue and Eleanor will "bust" the myths and
present the facts about Social
Security, health care, Medicare, immigration, and several other
issues. Sue is a past-president of The
Villages Democrats. She founded and now leads The Village Greens
Environmental Club. Eleanor is
active in both organizations. She is a free-lance writer and is the
editor of several on-line newsletters.
10:30 a.m. Service: Renee Zenaida – “Good Grief: Walking through
the Valley of the Shadow.” As
personal isolation within our culture deepens, the connections and
support needed to make it through
the valley in one piece are often sorely lacking. As Unitarian
Universalists, we’re not drawn to the
shepherd image in the 23rd Psalm, but look to our fellow travelers for
support. How do we offer or
receive that support?
Sunday September 12
9:30 a.m. Forum: Telling Our Stories: Jan Taddeo will facilitate the
sharing of our stories to learn
together the history of UUFMC; the people, places and events that
have shaped who we are today.
10:30 a.m. Service: Jan Taddeo – “Fundamentals of Our Faith: Trust,
Loyalty and Covenant.”
Unitarian Universalists emerged and evolved as a covenantal
tradition in which trust and loyalty are
essential. What do we love? Who or what do we serve? (Jan Taddeo,
our new consulting minister,
begins our one-year conversation together exploring these
questions.)
Sunday September 19
9:30 a.m. Forum: The Future of Journalism: Three former journalists
(Gil Gilleland, Dick Chady and
Terry Hopkins (Pat Gannett's daughter) will discuss current trends in
the communications media (such
as cutbacks by print newspapers and the growth of online information
sources) and how they affect
you.
10:30 a.m. Service: Dr. Robert Tucker – “Navajo Ethics.” In
anticipation of Native American
Day (9/24), the service will highlight our Seventh Principle. Dr. Tucker
will survey the significant
differences between Native American ethics and traditional Western
ethics and will emphasize those
Navajo features which would be of benefit to all people everywhere.

Sunday September 26
9:30 a.m. Forum: Open Discussion
10:30 a.m. Service: Jim McIntosh -- "The Spiritual Colleague, Logic
And Mystery. " Theologians
and philosophers have debated logic versus mystery for centuries.
This presentation will definitively
settle the issue.
