This Sunday we will be presenting an interactive retelling of the story of “Stone Soup.” This story is a classic folktale in which an entire town comes together and shares what they have to produce a scrumptious soup for all to share. This story teaches us the importance of sharing and that everyone has something to give. This will be an intergeneration service for kids of all ages. Following the service there will be soup for those who are interested.

Join us for this week’s online video presentation. Rev. Dr Arvid Straube of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, CA will discuss the traditional and historical stories of the Pilgrims and Indians . In this sermon  Rev. Straube asks ” What is the American idea?” Rev. Straube states he has a passion for Unitarian Universalism and knows that it can save people – from shallowness, loneliness and meaninglessness. “Our communities heal people. I have seen it happen hundreds of times. There is no greater privilege, for minister or lay person, than to be involved in seeking wholeness for ourselves and using our gifts to bring that wholeness to others.”

Rev. Straube’s bachelor’s degree is from Ball State University, his Master’s of Divinity from the University of Chicago, and his Dr. of Ministry from Meadville Lombard in Chicago. He has been married to Sonya Prestridge since 1991.

Beth Hewes will discuss the document Neale Donald Walsch has written that summarizes the last 20 years of messages received by him from God. He has gotten these messages down to a 1000 word document in a 25-item list.  According to Mr. Walsch’s website, ” Neale Donald Walsch is a modern day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before beginning his now famous conversation with God. His “With God” series of books has been translated into 27 languages, touching millions of lives and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives.”
