January 13: “On Fire With Possibility” (Rev. Elizabeth Greene)

We are now meeting at our new location:
160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls
Presented by Rev. Elizabeth Greene
The Magic Valley Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship is in its first owned-by-us home! On this second Sunday in our building, we will joyfully celebrate the great possibilities that now open to us, expected and undoubtedly unexpected. Rev. Greene will reflect on the hopes and fears and happiness that go into taking big new steps. We will also celebrate with a “Fire Communion”, where we will write our dearest thoughts about possibility, then light them, to send them forth.

January 6: “Living as a Spiritual Hypocrite” (REMINDER: New Meeting Place Address)
REMINDER:
We will now meet at our new location:
160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls. See you there!
(Still at 10:30 AM)
Presenter: Michael Becerra
We are all at our very best when our thoughts and actions are fully aligned with our spiritual beliefs. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. Very few of us can consistently walk this narrow path, even by our own definition. Some diversions are small, some are very large — and we must have a means to reconcile this within ourselves.
This week Michael Becerra will discuss his experience “Living as a Spiritual Hypocrite” and the challenges he chooses to take on or ignore as he strives to be fully authentic in his spirituality.

December 16: “Dark Mystery” – Rev. Elizabeth L. Greene
“Dark Mystery,” a sermon by Rev. Elizabeth L. Greene
Winter Solstice is almost upon us, that day when we have less light and more dark than any other day of the year. Also, days are pretty short all around this period, letting us reflect upon the mysteries of light and dark in our lives, how such things affect our spirits and our spiritual outlooks.
When we are in darkness, we also live in the hope of lighter days, of the Christ Child and stars and angels, of miraculous oil-burning lamps of an ancient people. In the mystery that dark can bring, we can grow our hearts in love.
Please Note, There will be a potluck meal following the service.Please join us. All in attendance, including visitors, are welcome!

Sunday, December 2: “Ingredients for transformation: Reflections and insights from stories, poems and science”
Presenter: Collete Hoglund
This Sunday, we will explore what it means to change and transform, what prompts us to begin and stay on the journey of transformation and what are some of the key ingredients facilitating change.
Illustrations from the book/movie “Wonder” poetry by Mary Oliver and Anais Nin and the neuroscience of Dr. Joe Dispenza will be used to assist in this exploration of transformation. How transformation applies to us all personally and to our spiritual community will also be addressed.

November 11, “All My Memories of Love”
Presented by: Rev. Elizabeth Greene
Memory is a little like a ship’s log. It lists all that has been done and experienced; from it, we can make decisions about what need not be repeated and what principles lie under the good that we may hope to repeat in some form. November holds both Veteran’s Day and Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Rev. Greene will reflect on how we look back, and on how looking with love transforms both our memories and our current lives. If you are able, please bring a memento to place on our “Memory Altar” as part of this special service. The item can be a photo, toy, dish, drawing, writing, whatever—just something that evokes an important memory for you. Please don’t forget!
Following the service will be a potluck meal. Thank you in advance for bringing a food item to share; however, if you are unable to do so, no problem. We thank you for bringing yourself!
This Sunday will be our Second Sunday Donation to a local charity. This Sunday’s collection (unless you designate pledge on your check or envelope) will go to Hospice Visions in Twin Falls.
