Sunday, August 24, 2014: “Are We Christians Too?

Posted on by

Host/Presenter: Ken Whiting

Our sermon this Sunday was delivered Sunday, August 24, 2013, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister.  When people first hear about our fellowship, they can sometimes be confused and wonder, “What kind of church or fellowship is the Unitarian Universalist faith really?” How can a church actually affirm and celebrate Atheists, Agnostics, Humanist and theological Naturalists and other religious thought all under one roof? Rev. Marlin Lavanhar will attempt to answer this question in the video we will view this Sunday. Please visit us this Sunday and bring a friend who may have similar questions.

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.

Newcomers are always welcome. Child care is available. Please Park in the front of the building.

Sunday, July 27, 2014: The Importance of Asking Questions

Posted on by

In many ways we are quite lucky to live in an age with vast quantities of information and knowledge. Using the methods of modern science humanity has unlocked the power of the atom and discovered many of life’s secrets. Yet even with the vast amount of information that we hold at our finger tips there are still many questions that confound us. This Sunday we will explore some of these questions. We will also discuss the importance of asking questions for which we may never be able to discover the answers. Please join us.

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. Newcomers are always welcome. Childcare is available. We are handicapped accessible. Please Park in the front of the building. For information, please contact Ken Whiting at 734-9161.

Sunday, May 18, 2014: “Myth in Human History”

Posted on by

Host: Ray Cross

This week’s program will be another from the Great Courses company.

The presenter is Professor Grant L. Voth. He is professor Emeritus in English and Interdisciplinary Studies at Monterrey Peninsula College and an expert in world literature.

The title of the our lecture this Sunday is: “Mesopotamian and Hebrew Flood Myths”.

In this program, Dr. Voth compares Very early Flood myths with the stories in Genesis. These are stories that those of us from Christian backgrounds have heard all our lives and perhaps even taken as truth.

Myths explain who we are and why the world is the way it is; all before the advent of modern science. Do we modern people still have our myths? Some would say the Big Bang Theory is our Creation Myth. What do you think?

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.

Newcomers are always welcome. Child care is available. We are handicapped accessible. Please park in the front of the building.

Sunday, February 16, 2014 “Living from the Heart”

Posted on by

Presenter: Julie Merrick

Host: Marion Wallace

Living from the Heart

What does it mean to live from the heart and why would we want to do so?  If the mind is the rational center of our being, then the heart comprises our emotional/intuitive center.  One allows us to function effectively and the other to thrive.  Both are needed, but too often we have overactive brains and underutilized hearts.

Join us for a discussion of how living from our heart can help us to release fears, embrace excellence, and perceive beauty in the world around us.  For our hearts call us to adventure, lead us on a path of kindness and open us to our connection with all things.

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.

Newcomers are always welcome. Child care is available. We are handicapped accessible.

Please park in the front of the building.

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

Sincerely,

Ken Whiting
