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.

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.

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.
