Here’s a look at services taking place in November 2016. Services take place at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday in RVUUF’s Great Hall. Gathering music begins at 10:25 a.m.

Nov. 6: Reflections on ‘Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War’
Reflections on “Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War,” and how we, as Unitarian Universalists will respond to the ongoing genocide and the still emerging Refugee Crisis of 2016. How do we honor, and learn from, the heroic legacy of our faith and uphold our principles in the face of continuing indifference to suffering and injustice?

Nov. 13: Ceremony to welcome new members
Our service will include a ceremony to welcome new members who covenant with RVUUF signing the membership book. Focus for this service will include hearing from members engaged in the volunteer work of the fellowship. Rev. White will serve as the worship leader, the choir will sing and the debut of members who composed a musical piece that captures RVUUF’s mission will be presented and voted on near the conclusion of the service.

Nov. 20: Passing on the Story: Which Parts?
Founders Day Celebration remembering 63 years of RVUUF’s existence and honoring the founders of the Rogue Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Rev. White’s sermon title is “Passing on the Story: Which Parts?” The third-Sunday offering will go to United Oregon.

Nov. 27: Remembering the Heart of the Heretic
The aftermath of the election, no matter who won, calls us to look back on the political teachings of Jesus to address how to move forward as a country. After all, the Unitarian Universalist movement was born out of Christianity’s teachings of Jesus including the Beatitudes and the Golden Rule. Rev. White will speak about the political teachings of Jesus, remembering the heart of the heretic.
