March 7     “Resolving Family Homelessness in our community and in our nation”

Speaker:  Jean DeMaster, Executive Director
Program Leader: Social Concerns Committee

We welcome the Director of Human Solutions, the social service provider for our part of Portland and Gresham. Eastrose Fellowship supports both Human Solutions and its Homeless Family program Daybreak Shelter, which we helped found. The latter shelter and our sister First Unitarian Church are the only daytime family shelters in the area. Jean will address how and what we can do about those who are homeless.
March 14     “Serve Somebody!”     

Speaker:  Reverend David Maynard
Program Leader: Margee Bailey

Bob Dylan sings a song “You've Got to Serve Somebody” which presents a decidedly spiritual view of living. A few days ago several of us were debating who is happier, the giver or the recipient? Some thoughts on usefulness, happiness and our purpose in life.

The Choir will sing and there will be special music.
March 21        “Diversity and UU”     

Speakers:  Spectrum! Community
Program Leader:  TBA

During March through the films each Sunday and through this special service we are reviewing and expanding our congregational understanding, support for and concerns of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender (GLBT) members and friends. We have been a Welcoming Congregation June, 1998 ­ how do we continue to build our community?

The Children's Choir will sing.
March 28        “Hedgehogs and Life”   

Speaker:  Reverend David Maynard
Program Leader: Cynthia Hopkins

Deep in every cell of our bodies lurks “sonic hedgehog.”   Did you know that?   Then there is that wonderful novel “The Elegance of the Hedgehog.” What's with all these hedgehogs in our world?

The Choir will sing.
April 4            “Once Upon A Cross ­ Something Happened”       

Speaker:  Reverend David Maynard
Program Leader: TBA

The President of my seminary Starr King School for the Ministry once reflected that, no matter what our beliefs may be about Christianity, that we would have to agree that some 1,980 years ago that “something happened” to change the convictions of thousands, millions and now billions of people.   An Easter service on what this is all about.

The Choir will sing gloriously.
