February 2012

Sunday, February 5, 10:30 am: Choice in Dying: It’s a Matter of Justice

In May 1993, the member congregations of the Canadian Unitarian Council adopted a resolution supporting choice in dying. Almost twenty years later that support hasn’t wavered. For many Unitarians, choice in dying is a matter of justice. In this service Wanda Morris, the Executive Director of Dying with Dignity Canada, will review some of the arguments around choice in dying, and their relationship to our Unitarian Principles and Sources.
Presenter: Wanda Morris

February 12, 10:30 am: Girls’ Rights are Human Rights

As a multigenerational community, we will explore what human rights are not being met in the world, specifically concerning the development of girls and young women. We will do this with song, smaller circle activities based on a First Nations theme, and story. Out of this service, we hope to come up with a plan for helping girls and young women all over the world achieve their potential, something we hope our whole church can support.
Presenter: Sandy Cooper with Rebecca Gerritsen, Sue Bradt, Michelle Gaudek, Judy Negrey, and Yani Prasatya

February 19, 10:30 am: Faces of Love (Part I)

February is often considered the “love” month because of Valentine’s Day. The Unitarian Universalist Association has a campaign to promote our faith as “Standing On The Side of Love.” Over the next few months, we will explore the place of love in our lives, community, and faith. There are many faces of love.
Presenter: Rev Debra Faulk

Sunday, February 26, 10:30 am: Helping Hands, Loving Hearts

There is a children’s chalice lighting that says we are the church of the open mind, the loving heart and the helping hands. Yet it can be a challenge to ask for help, accept its offer, or even know how to lend a helping hand.
Presenter: Rev Debra Faulk and Members of the Caring Team
Music: Jane Perry
Share community with a simple, yet hearty lunch served after the  service. The Young Adults will be hosting this meal as a fund-raiser.

“4 Others” Collections

Each week, half of all non-designated collections will go to the charity of the month.

Carpooling

Carpooling is fun, companionable, helps the environment, and saves a little money on gas. We maintain a list of people interested in carpooling on the notice board in Wickenden Hall.

Accessibility

Wheelchair lifts from the street level entrance to both the main floor and the basement. Wheelchair-accessible washrooms on the main floor and the basement level. Large-print hymnals. Sound amplification devices for the hard-of-hearing

What to Wear

We tend to be an informal group.  Basically, no one really concerns themselves with what others are wearing. As long as you are comfortable and respectful to self and others, it really does not make any difference how dressed “up” or dressed “down” you are.
