Sophia Fahs
Our Unitarian Universalist History Series continues this Sunday, November 8, when the Reverend Frieda Gillespie will deliver a talk titled “It Takes a Mother: The Gifts of Sophia Fahs.”
Sophia Fahs, a Unitarian, was a pioneer in children’s religious education. Her innovations affected the way all denominations do church school, and our current curricula build upon her insights, which in large part came from being a parent.
Born in China to Presbyterian missionaries, her life traced a journey from evangelical Christianity to religious liberalism.
The service will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by coffee and fellowship at about 11:30. Child care and religious-education classes are available, and visitors are always welcome.

At our service this Sunday, November 1, we will celebrate the lives of people who have passed on — both those we know personally and those in the public eye who have died since last year.
Our minister, the Reverend Frieda Gillespie, asks that you bring pictures of loved ones for the altar. Her sermon, “Lessons of Living and Dying: All Saints Service,” will focus on the legacy of the Reverend Forrest Church, a well-known Unitarian Universalist minister and author who died on September 24.
The service will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by coffee and fellowship at about 11:30. Child care and religious-education classes are available, and visitors are always welcome.

Love Buzz fair-trade coffee
As its service project, the Tuesday-morning Small Group Ministry will be selling fair-trade organic coffee, tea, and chocolate after each Sunday service starting on November 1. The goal is to support small farmers around the world to achieve a fair price for their products.
To kick off the project, members of the ministry will hold a tasting party after the November 1 service. The coffee served at the table will be breakfast blend and decaf. At a separate table, the ministry will offer for tasting a coffee called Love Buzz, which we are told is a favorite among UU congregations, as well as tea and chocolate.
Please come taste our fair-trade products and consider buying some to take home.

Please join us this Sunday, October 25, for our weekly service. Our minister, the Reverend Frieda Gillespie, will speak on “The Blessing of the Ordinary.” Frieda explains:
Simple, ordinary things sometimes have as much meaning as anything extraordinary. And we spend more time with the ordinary by definition. This collection of poetry and reflection is about our relationship to the everyday of our lives.
The service will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by coffee and fellowship at 11:30. Religious education classes and child care are available, and visitors are always welcome.

Northshore Church members and friends at Penny Bridge in the Lynn Woods. Click on photo for larger image.
A group of hikers (and three dogs) from the Northshore Church hit the trail on Sunday, October 11, exploring the Lynn Woods on a perfect fall day.
Unfortunately, the cave at Dungeon Rock was not open, which disappointed the kids as well as the adults. Nevertheless, there was plenty to see and do.
