February 2012

• 12: Rev. Carole Martignacco, “News from Beyond”

  Every now and again, there is an upsurge in interest in whether life exists in the universe beyond the happenings on our small planet. Is this a spiritual concern? What does it tell us about the human spirit that we long for cosmic company?

  This Sunday's plate collection will be a special collection for the Sharing Our Faith fund of the Canadian Unitarian Council. This fund is used to finance special projects in different UU churches in Canada. UUEstrie has benefited from a Sharing Our Faith grant on several occasions, most recently for our Communications Plan.

• 26: Rev. Rich Forcier, “Wiggle Room”

  Rich writes: "This message is based on a line from W.C. Fields, who quipped when caught reading the Bible, "I was looking for a loophole." I want to examine our human propensity to act with guile even as I suggest that our goodness rests on our being as transparent as possible. Rich Forcier lives in Vermont where he served as pastor of First Church in Barre (VT), Universalist for a number of years. Now retired from full-time parish ministry, he is active in the teaching of English to immigrants and refugees. He is a regular, and popular, visitor to our pulpit.
