Mr. Brimo will talk about his experiences of coming to America, the connection between Islam, Christianity, and Judiasm, the many misconceptions regarding terror, extremists, and Islam, the diversity in Islam and the Middle East, and women's rights and the treatment of women in Islam.  Additionally, he will provide time for questions and answers from the congregation at the end of his presentation.    
April 6    At Home in the Universe     

Speaker:  Dale Rhodes
Program Leader: Sue Aschim

Dale Rhodes will discuss how his interests in Taoism, birding as a spiritual practice, and just "being at-home on the Earth" has led to formal training these last few years as a naturalist.  Dale recently completed a nature skills week in the Cascades with the Wilderness Awareness School.
April 13    Born Again Into Second Life

Lynne Pfeiffer and David Maynard

There is a virtual UU Church in the Second Life Meta-verse. An Eastrose member joined last year.  Come experience some of the
sights and insights of Second Life.

The Choir will sing.

April 20    Floating in Gravity       

Speaker:  Rev. Susan Maginn
Program Leader:  TBA

Saving the earth has become a privilege. Those who are poor are often the most effected by environmental devastation and also the most likely to be unable to afford organic food or hybrid cars. Can the entire earth be saved by an elite few? And would you believe that *fungus* could have something to teach us about all this?

Rev. Susan Maginn, minister serves the Wy'east UU Congregation in Southeast Portland.
April 27        Be-Attitudes

Speaker:  Reverend Maynard
Program Leader: Kathie Loveall

As human be-ings, our attitude toward life’s easy and hard stuff makes an immense difference. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus talks about blessings or beatitudes. I’ll talk about their cousins, the Be-Attitudes.   During the service there will be a Volunteer Recognition. After the service, we’ll host a Committee Faire!

The Choir will sing.
May 4    Fairies and Woodland Sprites... in church??!!   

Susie Jenkins, Organizer 

Gather together for Beltane on Sunday, May 4th,  for a wild and joyous celebration.    There will be drumming, chanting, and visual spender galore.  Look in the back of your closet for something to wear that shouts "Summer is coming." Yes! there will be Fairies and Sprites working nature magic too.
