Monday Night At The Church November 23, 2009
Monday Night Book Club
The Monday Night Book Club is celebrating First Unitarian's 225th anniversary by reading about our history. This week is the third session with Walter King's book, "The Fruits of Our Labors". Please read from page 141 to 254 for this session. If it seems that people are interested and willing to read, we'll go on to some sermons and other writings of our ministers after finishing the book.
Monday Night At the Church begins at 5:30 p.m. with an hour of Zen (meditation) practice in the Chapel. Come Be with us in the intimate silence - no experience necessary!
The centerpiece of MNATC is of course Ken Waugh and friends' fellowship dinner at 6:30 p.m.
Childcare is available every Monday night. All are welcome to any or all of the Monday night activities.

Wheel of Life November 14, 2009
We extend our sympathy to the friends and family of Ron Lundin who died recently in Indiana. Ron was the sexton here at First Unitarian from 1996 to 2002.
The Subject is PECANS!
NOT Super Market frozen 2008 pecans, but this year's crop picked from the trees in the last 2 or 3 weeks.
Again this year, the First U Garden Committee is selling these super fresh nuts with all profits to benefit our church grounds. So, pecan pie lovers look for them to be available after the worship service on the next four Sundays -- just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The one pound bags will sell for $10 and they make great gifts, as well as year-round hostess presents.

Nonviolent Solutions in Worcester and the World: It's Time!
What are the real costs of war? Is nonviolence effective in resolving conflicts? How does violence impact our lives? What can we do to reduce violence at all levels, from the family to the neighborhood to the state to the world?
Members of our Peace Committee, Bill Densmore and Marj and Paul Ropp, have been working for the past year to establish the Center for Nonviolent Solutions here in Worcester. Congressman James McGovern and Washington journalist Colman McCarthy recently spoke at the Worcester Public Library to launch the Center. At Religion In Our Times on November 22nd at 12:00 noon in the Chapel, Bill, Paul and Marj will briefly introduce the mission of the Center and lead a discussion of its goals and purposes.
