February is Valentine’s Day month, a time when we often turn to thoughts of love, most often thoughts of the romantic variety of love. However, the concept of love is deeper and wider and higher–not to mention more complex–than our cultural notions of romance.

Love is a central tenet of many religions, and involves our highest and best selves. It involves how we behave toward our families, our friends, and yes, even our enemies. Rev. Greene will explore some of the ways love affects our lives and how important it is that we do our best to follow love’s demanding path.

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.

As Unitarian Universalists, we covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equity, and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another. We stand on the side of love.

Newcomers of all religious paths or none at all are always welcome. We are handicapped accessible. Please park in the front of the building. Child care is available.

Our collection this Sunday will be donated to the CSI Refugee Center.

From the Humanist Association, Humanism is the belief that human beings are the source of meaning and values. It is non-dogmatic and open-ended. It is a scientific search, self-correcting and open to change with new knowledge and new insights.

Humanism is deeply concerned with ethics and values, but rather than telling people what they should or should not do, it assists their search for values and attempts to help them achieve their full positive potential as human beings.

Humanists see humanity as having the capacity for continued growth and development, and they accept responsibility for encouraging that growth.

Dr. Martin Luther King was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law.

Our service this Sunday will be “Claiming Martin Luther King, Jr.” by Rev. Paul Sprecher.

Martin Luther King had a connection to Unitarian Universalism.

Join us to learn about this connection and about Dr. King this Sunday, the day, before Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

At this time of year, almost everyone reflects on what has gone on, looking forward to what will happen in the future, resolving to make improvements.

“New beginnings” is a phrase we hear. What does it mean to make a new beginning? How much of the past do we bring with us, and what can or should we leave behind? What role does our faith play, as we forge new beginnings that are more likely to bring love into the world, more likely to inspire generosity and compassion?

Newcomers of all religious paths or none at all are always welcome. We are handicapped accessible. Please park in the front of the building. Child care is available.
