Upcoming Services
Jan. 3: "Community: For One and All"
Wesley White, retired United Methodist minister
Rev. White will reflect on his work as an Intentional Transitional/Interim Minister and the building of community. The work of consensus honors both the insights of an individual and the current wisdom of a group. It also helps one and all continue growing. Note: In recent years, some UU members have requested the use of computer technology to present "visual images" of certain aspects of the Sunday service (announcements, readings, songs). Rev. White has graciously volunteered to introduce a variety of ways that technology might be used to enhance the service. We invite you to reflect and share your responses with Sunday Service Committee representatives after the service.
Jan. 10: "Wisdom and Peace Tales From Around the World"
Sara Slayton
Sara Slayton, co-founder of the Bluff Country Tale Spinners storytelling guild and chair of the La Crosse Storytelling Festival, will share a selection of stories that have moved people though the ages and from around the globe to strive for peace and justice.
Jan. 17: "A 'Dialogue' Between Dr. King and President Obama"
Barbara Stewart
Barbara Stewart, associate dean for campus climate and diversity at UW-La Crosse, will share her reflections about a potential talk between the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and President Barack Obama about race, poverty, class, war and the stress of being an African American leader then and now.
Jan. 24: "Modern and Ancient Perspectives on Jesus", Pat Killeen, Fellowship Member
Teacher? Prophet? Mystic? Healer? Social critic? Human? Divine? Who was he? What was his message? What can we learn?
Jan. 31: "Demystifying Mindfulness" Tom Roberts
Clinical therapist and Buddhism student Tom Roberts examines mindfulness: what it is and is not. A way to higher spiritual development? A practical tool for everyday living?
Feb. 7: 'The War on Drugs and Social Justice - What's the Connection"
Matt Vogel
Matt Vogel, UW-La Crosse health educator, says that under the guise of "protecting our children," the war on drugs has raged on for 40 years with what seems like an endless funding stream and minimal positive results. Prison populations continue to swell, lives are interrupted, taxes are levied, yet human beings continue to alter their states of consciousness. Is there a holistic approach to drug use that would be more pragmatic, sensible and just?
