"The Courage Within"
Eric Butterworth describes we human's being on an evolutionary journey,  embarking on "a courageous quest into inner space." I have been thinking a lot about courage this week: the courage of one's convictions, the risks of being authentic. Several of us struggle with the courage of being alternative Christians in a tradition Christian community. My thoughts this week have been informed by reading John McCain's book Why Courage Matters. Man, does he know about courage!

How do we face the personal challenges with courage, grace and love? Please join us for the service.

Lenten Book Study immediately after the service: Eric Butterworth's Discover the Power Within You, Chapters 1 - 3.

Beholding the Christ
Continuing our thoughts on Love: How is it that we can come close to loving others? It's sometimes hard enough to love those we know, how can we extend this to loving everyone? How do we develop the mindset of Beholding the Christ in Others? Developing Namaste in our hearts.

Open Stage (for Adults): tonight, Fri, at 7:30

New Members Meeting: for those who are interested in becoming members of UKV, next Sunday after Church.

Happy Valentines Day!

Wow! What a weekend! Parents are still recovering from the Lock-in Friday night, many of us are still floating from Beth Nielson Chapman at the Woody Hawley Concert yesterday, and Sunday, well, it was Sunday! Roger and I brought some Bob Dylan, Heidi Muller some Joni Mitchell, and we explored the complexity of specialness and unity. Wow! Thank you EVERYONE!

Loving Kindness Meditation

May I be well, happy and peaceful.
May no harm come to me,
May my difficulties not last long,
May I have a calm, centered mind.
May I know peace and love in my heart.
May I have patience, insight, courage and compassion in meeting and overcoming the inevitable challenges in life.

May my parents be well ...
May my teachers be well ...
May my family members and relatives be well ...
May my friends and acquaintances be well ...
May my enemies and those with whom I have trouble communicating be well ...
May indifferent persons be well happy and peaceful...
May all beings, with form and without form,visible and invisible, near and far, born or coming to birth be well ...

"A Return to Love"
This Sunday, I will be launching into our February Love Fest by returning to Marianne WIlliamson's "A Return to Love." This wonderful book is a layperson's guide to A Course in Miracles, which is good for folks like me who can't get through more than a page of ACIM (if you have ever tried, you may know what I mean!) Please join us for a reminder of her wonderful insight about the reality of Love and wideness of Life. Heidi Muller will be bringing us her musical talents this Sunday, and there will be a discussion group after the service!

And lot's coming up in this weekend, including tonight:  UKV This Week

First, Christy Schwartz blew us all away with an absolutely beautiful version of the Eagles "I Wish you Peace," we then had some wonderful sharings as part of our warm up to our Congregational Meting, an awesome song by Ron, and then a great discussion about offering srervice, making improvements and exploring new locations. Thank you EVERYONE!

PS
News from Jim and Diana Horn (in Kenya!):
Jim is working with a new nursing school here at Kapsowar Hospital. He
is helping to make some changes to a much needed nursing program and
doing his best to not offend anyone. ;0) I am volunteering at a little
local Christian school and working with 4 & 5 year olds. They are SO
poor, but very bright. We will be here until the beginning of April. We
are sent thru Samaritan's Purse to be here. The invitation came from some
old friends of ours who have been here for about 10 years. Thanks for
asking.  Hello to all. God bless.        Diana
