February 1:
Happiness: What is It? Is It an
Entitlement?
Last
year, 4000 books were published on the subject of happiness.
At least 100 universities offer courses on
positive psychology, and thousands of Americans take
medications for depression because they are not happy.
Glenda Hubbard will explore the topic of happiness: what
it is, and what it isn't, and whether we are all entitled to
this condition.

February 8:
Do You Believe in God?
Since
earliest times, most humans have had a sense of a power greater than
themselves. Today that concept may be called God, Goddess,
Yahweh, Allah,
Universal Spirit, or Ground of All Being. As
Unitarian
Universalists we are encouraged to be our own theologians and
determine our own
images of God. Members of BUUF will share their ideas and
beliefs of what the word "God" means to them.
Service Leader:
Connie Green.

February 22: Living
in Community: the Most Difficult Spiritual Discipline
Whether we are working things out
in our own household, or in a religious community, we are challenged
to balance our individual needs with those of the group as we make
decisions together. This is a year for important decisions that will
require significant commitments. We will take some time to consider
how the experience of community can be enriched and united by the
process.
Presenter: Rev. Sarah
