SUNDAY SCHOOL
Blue
Jays learned many forms of prayer this month and have practiced
blessings at meal time. They learned that in the Genesis story of
creation, God created the heavens and earth
and saw that it was good.
Eagles
are learning about famous Unitarians and the principles they followed.
This month, they studied the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and the
Jell-O of Peter Cooper! Cooper was also a philanthropist who said "The
object of life is to do good." We talked about what that meant
and what he gave back to the community.
Older kids are getting an introduction to psychology. Next week, they'll hear about Jung.

Annual Wine Tasting Tours France
(in One Evening)
Every year, Sandra and Barry
offer a wine tasting party at our silent auction. And each year, those
who attend learn a great deal about wine from somewhere in the world.
They've sipped their way through Italy, Germany, and France and may
tackle Chile or Australia next year.
Note who's getting really smart this year.

Arizona Interfaith Movement
Last
April, our church joined the Arizona Interfaith Movement, which holds
events all year promoting understanding between different faith groups
across the valley.
In
October, they hosted their annual dinner, where the Sikh community
provided food for 300+ participants. We then broke into groups of eight
or so and got to know a little bit about what each person thought was
most important about their religion.
On
11/20, Interfaith will host a free forum on the topic of Fasting,
discussed from the viewpoint of four different faith groups. For more
information, call Interfaith at 602-277-2484… Or ask Kathy Abramowitz at church.

dark and spooky night.
