Sunday, April 27, 2014: “How I Discovered the Unitarian-Universalist Religion”

PLEASE NOTE: This Sunday’s service will NOT take place at the Senior Center

Facilitator/Host: Marion Wallace

“How I Discovered the Unitarian-Universalist Religion (An Informal Gathering at the Home of the Whitings)”

Please join us Sunday, April 27th beginning 10:30 AM at the home of the Whitings, for an informal service titled “How I Discovered the Unitarian-Universalist Religion.”

Everyone is invited to explore the Unitarian-Universalist faith and also to discuss thoughts that may have inspired (or did not inspire) him or her regarding religion. We will have an open discussion regarding various religious thoughts as well as thoughts that perhaps may be in the minds of those who feel they have no religion (i.e. atheists, those disillusioned by religion in general, etc.).

Members and regular visitors will discuss their own presonal thoughts pertaining to why they attend the Magic Valley Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship.

The Whitings’ home is located at 2529 E 3707 N (Windmill Heights) just outside Twin Falls (near Curry Crossing). For directions, please call Ken Whiting at 208-734-9161 or email mvuuf83301@yahoo.com for directions —  or use this Google Maps link.

This will be an informal service since the Twin Falls Senior Center, where the Magic Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship usually meets, is having a special event this Sunday and is not available for our usual meeting location.

We hope to see you! Everyone is welcome.

For those who are able, please bring a covered dish (pot luck) for everyone to enjoy after the service.

For further information, please contact Ken Whiting at 208-734-9161.

 

Sunday, April 20, 2014: “The Spiritual Effects of Poetry”

Facilitator/Host: Dale Bostock

Through the art of poetry we connect with the world around us and come to a greater understanding of one another.

Please bring a poem that provides a spiritual message that moves you and has made a special impact on your life.

The poem can be something old or new, famous or not, something you wrote or just really enjoy and think others will too.

Please be prepared to tell us why you selected your poem and why you like it.

We hope to see you!

The Magic Valley Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship meets every Sunday beginning at 10:30 AM at the Twin Falls Senior Center, 530 Shoshone Street West in Twin Falls.

Sunday, April 6, 2014: “How God Changes the Brain”

Host/Presenter: Ray Cross

This week’s program will be a video from the Great Courses series: “The Spiritual Brain” featuring Dr. Andrew Newberg. Dr. Newberg is the Director of Research at the Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania.

Our program this Sunday will explore answers to the questions: How do religious and spiritual ideas have an impact on our brains and why do some people develop compassion while others develop hatred as part of their religious beliefs?

We will also see how brains of mediators and non-mediators develop differently and what that might mean in our lives.

For an introduction to this Sunday’s service I suggest your watching the following videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8gTH3SGqqUand
