Upcoming Programs
Averaging 100 Sunday attendance. Infant Care provided.  Children's RE follows service opening.
Sunday, May 4,  2008 10 AM  We’ll ponder the question: “Did the God of Abraham Fight in the Trojan War?” The various cultures of the Ancient Near East did not develop in isolation, but rather, in multiple dialogues with one another. We tend to think of classical Greek mythology as culturally and religiously separate from the development of the Old Testament Story. But what if one influenced the other? Reverend Dennis McCarty will explore the possibilities.
Sunday, May 11,  2008 10 AM  We’ll celebrate Mother’s Day and Reverend Dennis McCarty will preach about “Moms: from Warm and Fuzzy to Cool and Prickly.” Being a mother has always been a fulltime job, and is getting more complicated all the time. At the same time, every person who happens to be a mother--is so many other things more than that, as well. Rev. Dennis will look at the expanding role of motherhood in our contracting world. 

Brown Bag Lunch 12 PM   Join Rev. Dennis McCarty and bring a brown bag lunch. We’ll retire to the library and nibble our sandwiches and apples. Rev. Dennis will continue to use readings from psychologist and rabbi Edwin Friedman’s book, “Friedman’s Fables,” to spur theological conversation.

 
Sunday, May 18,  2008 10 AM  Ann Jones will do a presentation on the world AIDS crisis.

4 PM COLUMBUS INTERFAITH FORUM INTERFAITH SACRED CELEBRATION  Join Columbus InterFaith Forum members and representatives of different area faith traditions as we celebrate a different faith each month.
Sunday, May 25,  2008 10 AM  At this year’s Service Auction, Judy and Steve Jasper were top bidders to choose Reverend Dennis McCarty Sunday’s service topic.  We’ll discuss “Thomas Paine and Freethinking in America.” It speaks to us on multiple levels: historic, religious, and personal.  Thomas Paine’s genius didn’t make him a financial success. But his lack of success didn’t make his message any less important, either. We’ll also take time to honor our graduating High School Seniors.

Brown Bag Lunch 12 PM   Join Rev. Dennis McCarty and bring a brown bag lunch. We’ll retire to the library and nibble our sandwiches and apples. Rev. Dennis will continue to use readings from psychologist and rabbi Edwin Friedman’s book, “Friedman’s Fables,” to spur theological conversation.
Rev. Dennis D McCarthy Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbus IndianaSunday, June 1,  2008 10 AM    Reverend Dennis McCarty will preach “On Marriages and Covenants.” Covenants are central to Unitarian Universalist theology. The word, “Covenant,” also gets used in the broader culture, not least in so-called “Covenant Marriage.” This a legal option in some states, in which a couple agrees to restrict the grounds under which they may later be granted a divorce. Are two uses of the word, “Covenant,” related to one another? Are they related to the Biblical ideal of the Covenant? Rev. Dennis will explore the history and questions.
