Spiritual Odysseys: Beginning May 31st (and every fourth
Saturday thereafter) the Adult Program Committee will begin offering a new
series of events. In addition to great food, these once-a-month adult
potluck dinners will feature the personal stories of various Cedars UU
members. Come hear about the life path (or Spiritual Odyssey) taken by
some of your UU friends. Each time we meet one or two of our UU members
will be sharing their life journeys and/or spiritual experiences. See
full details on the Adult Programs page.
Cedars' Alternative Gift Project (AGP)
is an all-year project that affords people an alternate way for
gift-giving. It is most popular around the holidays, but we want to
remind you that it is available all year long. The new AGP
Catalogue and
Order Form are now available
for download.
The Alternative Gift
Project was recently featured in an article in the Peninsula Daily News
of Port Angeles. The article cites two local charities featured in this
year’s catalogue. One is the Sequim-based Mujeres de Maiz Opportunity
Foundation, which raises money for scholarships, computers and eyeglasses
for girls and women in rural Chiapas, Mexico. The other is the Port
Angeles-based Mangrove Action Project which embraces India, Thailand and
other Asian countries where shrimp farming has savaged the coastal
forests. To read the full article, see:

Audio Sermons are now
available for listening and download: See the Audio Sermons page

Cedars now has a Blog:
See the link on the left to access it. This is an additional way for us
to communicate with each other. Please feel free to post news, meeting
information, comments, or thoughts here. We ask that you keep in mind the
UUA's Seven Principles when posting. Please sign your posts.
Super Suppers:
Do you want to help our Social Action team but don’t
have much time? Are you a good cook looking for an excuse to make
brownies? The Super Suppers at Helpline House needs your help! We
are teaming up with Congregation Kol Shalom to put on a dinner for all comers at
Helpline House on the last Tuesday of every month. We are
responsible for salad, dessert, and bread. If you can bring one of those
items, help host the dinner with a member of the Social Action Committee, or
simply want more information about these dinners, please contact our
coordinator, Helen
Nissani.
The Beacon Deadline is the 15th of the month.
Your
cooperation is appreciated.
Please see the Calendar for additional activities and updates.
