SUMMARY:𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐧? (𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲)
DESCRIPTION:Books are being taken off the shelves in libraries\, and even rainbows are banned from a Virginia school system. We will address the question\, “What’s Going On?” as it relates to our civic life\, and we will explore the role of religion – the good and the bad – as we try to figure out what we can do in response to “What’s Going On?”

DESCRIPTION:A divorce and career-oriented life left David Brooks feeling empty and alone. He realized he had fallen for lies our culture tells us about finding fulfilment\, lies which have been largely responsible for a “social and relational crisis” in our country. In this TED Talk video\, Brooks combines his own story of recovery from despair with advocacy for social renewal\, through groups such as the Weavers organization\, which he chairs.

SUMMARY:𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐯𝐬. 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (Lee Simon)
DESCRIPTION:Mankind has been grappling with sexuality since the days of the cave men and women. It’s testosterone and hormones versus morals and taboos and laws. Probably every approach to it has been tried\, with a wide variety of approaches. There are no universal answers. We don’t even have the right questions.

SUMMARY:𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭? (Barbara Beach)
DESCRIPTION:**Based on the information received from Hearthstone and the low temperatures\, we will host this Sunday’s service virtually in the interest of safety. Click here to join via Zoom\, password: 077806. \n \nSigmund Freud asked: “What Does Woman Want?”\nIt was a question of a frustrated psychologist.  UU women and girls have asked that question\, too.  Barbara Beach will share what have we learned from women around the world\, what we have accomplished together\, and the religious implications of reaching out to women in UU and liberal faith communities in Northern India\, Romania\, Uganda\, Bolivia\, the Philippines\, and the US. How might women and men of UU Bridge participate in this pragmatic religious adventure?

SUMMARY:𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐎-𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 (Kit Goldfarb)
DESCRIPTION:SANGO-Kenya has now been working in rural villages in Western Kenya for four years. The program has grown every year in response to the ever-increasing needs\, many caused by climate change. They now have nearly 500 farmers in the program\, 250 farmers just beginning. That translates to their direct impact extending to approximately 2\,500 women\, children\, and other household members. During this presentation\, Kit Goldfarb\, the co-founder of SANGO-Kenya\, will talk about the growing challenges\, how SANGO-Kenya and the farmers are responding\, and discuss what farmers and community leaders told her about the program during her last trip in Oct-Dec\, 2023. \nImage from: http://sango-kenya.org/category/sango-diary/  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Nordic ‘Well-Being State’ (Will Daniels)
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, we speak\, usually negatively\, of the welfare state. In the Nordic countries of Denmark\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, and Sweden\, the same two words\, ‘welfare state\,’ capture the very purpose of national government: spreading welfare equally among all citizens. Can the U.S. take a page from the Nordics and begin to reverse our increasing inequality?

SUMMARY:TED Talk: The Happy Planet Index (Will Daniels)
DESCRIPTION:Since the turn of the century\, books on happiness and well-being have been a publishing phenomenon; organizations promoting happiness have appeared; a school of psychology devoted to human flourishing was founded; Bhutan pioneered the concept of “gross national happiness.” Happiness is essential\, it’s true. But can humans pursue happiness in consonance with caring for the planet? The Happy Planet Index is a tool for measuring and focusing efforts to align happiness with what our Seventh Principle states: Respect for the Interdependent Web of Existence. \nStatistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation’s success by its productivity — instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index\, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn’t have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI? You might be surprised.

SUMMARY:The New Us (M. Bynum\, K. Treanor\, W. Daniels\, and J. Hanover)
DESCRIPTION:We at UUBRidge are becoming a “new thing” together—a UU congregation without a minister (and there are many similar UU congregations that thrive). We are moving toward becoming a self-sustaining\, do-it-yourself operation. New possibilities for engagement and thinking outside our old box await us all—opportunities for any of us to try new things within the safe embrace of our dear “old” community. \nIn this service\, we will talk about five possibilities that promote the kind of engagement that can keep us going strong\, and we will invite additional ideas and proposals from the congregation.

SUMMARY:Letting Go (Rev. Russ Savage)
DESCRIPTION:This will be our last Sunday together\, a momentous occasion for all of us. Since its founding\, UUBRidge has had only one other minister for one year. Finding and adjusting to new ministries is a common experience for older churches\, and as the years pass UUBRidge will learn this skill as well. Unlike times when Russ has left other churches\, he will not be going to another church this time but will be retiring from ministry. This is our chance to say farewell to each other. Members of the congregation will have the opportunity to share memories of Russ’ time with us. A luncheon will follow the service.
