Thursday April 19th - May 2018 Unifax Submission Due Sunday, April 22, 2018- “Adaptation of Defiance” Jeffrey Lockwood This Sunday (Earth Day!), Jeff Lockwood will offer a sermon on how U.U's might think about climate change—not just the phenomenon but what it means in terms of our principles. He raises the question of whether cleverly adapting human enterprises to the changes imposed by global warming means that we fail to confront the moral and spiritual meaning of our (in)actions. Does technology allow us to avoid coming to terms with our relationship to the natural world? What could we learn if we’d pay attention to the dying forests, rather than scrambling to develop “solutions” that allow us to avoid the depths of the problem? And as a bonus, Jeff has an original children’s story written just for this Sunday. RE: Earth Day Play Sunday, April 22nd - Board Meeting Following the Service. Choir Choir practices the 1st and 2nd Sundays of Every Month, after service, and perform on the 3rd Sunday of every month.
