Inside Out Art
Experience the world through the eyes of adults with developmental disabilities. When they express their personal vision through art, they prove to be remarkably gifted, creating works that will astonish and move you. L.A. GOAL [lagoal.org] is a Culver City non-profit whose vision is to create a more open society where people with developmental disabilities can enjoy full inclusion in their communities.
The March Art Wall will feature Inside Out Art, an exhibit featuring artists from L.A. GOAL’s professional art studio: Inside Out Productions. Several artists will exhibit their drawings, paintings, ceramics, sewing, quilting, weaving, embroidery, photograph, woodblock prints, or multimedia works. The general public is welcome.
All works are for sale with eighty percent of the proceeds going to the individual artists and twenty percent to the church.
Artists Opening Reception Sunday March 9, 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Open 9:00 am – 1:00 pm on Sundays in March starting on March 9. Open weekdays by appointment, contact assistant@uusm.org
For more information contact Beverly Alison.
At least two artists from Inside Out Productions will welcome guests at the artists opening reception. Light refreshments will be served and extra tables will be set up for additional work.
Lisie Y. artist statement: “Drawing and painting come hard to me because I am legally blind and I cannot create the images that I want to make. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be weaving or embroidering. I used to say “I can’t do it” until sewing staff told me to just try it and now I’m loving it. I feel accomplished and proud to be able to do weaving.”
David H. artist statement: “I like the birds flying, the clouds, everything about it. First I sketch, then I pick the fabric, then I do the embroidery. It was hard using yarn the first time but I like it a lot. This piece makes me feel proud.”

Rev. John Morehouse
Worship Associate:
Rev. Rebecca Benefiel Bijur
Unitarian and Universalists were once martyred for their faith. The Rev. Jason Sheldon recently asked: What would we be persecuted for today? What would we sacrifice our lives for? Join us as the Rev. John Morehouse proposes a few ideas worth burning about. John is the lead minister of the Pacific Unitarian Church in Palos Verdes, CA. Widely regarded as one of our most innovative and dynamic ministers, John will share his passion for our saving message and some of the ways UUs have been changing their congregations and the world.

Interweave/Women's Alliance Picnic
Come join us for Food, Fun, Fellowship…and Bubbles!
at the Annual All-Church Interweave* & Women’s Alliance Picnic
Sunday, July 20, 11 a.m.
(just after the 10 a.m. service)
Church Courtyard
We’ll be serving grilled hot dogs (vegan & meat), salads, desserts, and lemonade.
Donations will be welcome but, technically, it’s free!
Proceeds from the picnic will be given to two UU Santa Monica families who are facing severe medical challenges. Taylor Shaw, Kit Shaw’s daughter and a student at MIT, suffered a cardiac arrest and has been in extensive rehabilitation. The costs of some of Taylor’s care, including an air ambulance from Boston to Denver for specialized treatment, are not covered by insurance. The second family is Emily Linnemeier, Jamie Duckman, and their two young children, Charley and Eala. Jamie remains hospitalized after suffering two strokes and being operated on for an aneurysm. We send our best wishes to both families.
