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.
