January 2014

It's a new year! 2014 has come in and will set sail like all years on the winds of great potential. There is so much to be done, and so much that is worthy of our efforts. A single year seems so small to those of us who have accumulated more then a few. And huge to those who have only seen a few. Yet it is in these cyclical bands that we live out our lives giving and receiving gifts that fold out in the wake of time spent. If we can trust this time ahead, it will not fail us or leave us to be anything but what we should be. As always, how much we trust the world is what enriches life..if we trust it will respond in kind. 

No, no, there is no going back.
Less and less you are
that possibility you were.

More and more you have become
those lives and deaths
that have belonged to you.

You have become a sort of grave
containing much that was
and is no more in time, beloved
then, now, and always.

And so you have become a sort of tree
standing over the grave.
Now more than ever you can be
generous toward each day
that comes, young, to disappear
forever, and yet remain
un-aging in the mind.

Every day you have less reason
not to give yourself away.

~ Wendell Berry ~

Social Justice Dinner: Food for Life

Saturday, January 11  

5:30 - 8:30 (Doors open at 5)

Ready for a healthy start to 2014? Sign up today to join us for a hearty, delicious whole-food, plant-based dinner; view Forks Over Knives - a powerful documentary that explores decades of scientific and clinical proof that this lifestyle can prevent and even reverse many of the most common chronic illnesses that plague those who eat the Standard American Diet (SAD); and find out how what we eat impacts:

• Social justice
• Climate change
• A clean, potable water supply
• World hunger
• The health care crisis
• And, potentially, the preservation of life itself

$12/person for a tasty, nourishing, healthy "Food for Life" dinner. Reservations required by January 5. Email Food4Life@uumarin.org with questions or to reserve your space. Bring your friends and neighbors!

Flyer

The Jan. 12 offering basket will be shared 50/50 with Image for Success: a volunteer, non-profit organization that provides complimentary wardrobes to men, women and children transitioning to a life of self-reliance.

(Any checks made out to Image for Success will go directly there.)

On April 19th at 6 p.m. we will be holding the UUCM Auction! We would love you to come and find the one perfect item, or better yet, perhaps the perfect ten items!  

So, to help you find just what you wish for at the UUCM auction, we are asking that you provide us a list of your Auction wishes. What do you need?  What might help you ease your very busy lives?

You can send your wish lists to Lori Smith at LASMITH7@ATT.NET, or by calling her at 415-456-3822.
