“Inalienable Rights”
Rev. Bryan Fulwider

Certain phrases in the Declaration of Independence are indelibly etched in the minds and hearts of many Americans. Together, we’ll explore these ideas as spiritual concepts at the core of human existence. In part, we’ll look at the “Scottish School of Common Sense” as a philosophical framework for our conversation, led by a returning favorite speaker, Rev. Bryan Fulwider.

"Managing Anger”
Michele Katz

Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems. And, most of us don’t want to let go of our righteous anger. Michele Katz, Behavior Analyst, will lead us thru some exercises and strategies to help us better manage anger instead of letting it control us.

"The Power Within . . . You”
David McElroy

We are all born with this incredible sense of life and wonder. As years go by, and we experience many of life's ups and downs, we start to, slowly, lose this sense of wonderment. But if you think about it, and I do, there is an incredible power that we can tap into. It is there all the time, you just have to look for it. David, and his wife, Marylin who will be singing this morning, are long-time UUUF members, and we’re happy to have them guide us this morning.
