Faith in a Seed

Happy Earth Day! Although it’s a stereotype that all Unitarian Universalists love nature, you might say that reverence for the natural world is in our religious DNA. The Transcendentalists — our spiritual ancestors — viewed nature as “the face and essence of God.” In Part 2 of her Transcendentalism series, Erika will tell a Tale of Two Trees, inspired by writings of Henry David Thoreau (and others) that reveal a unique legacy: belief in the Divine presence in the natural world.

The Art Wall for April is sponsored by Faith in Action.
 
The Art Wall for May will be art contributed by our children. A request for submissions has been provided by the organizers of this exhibition. We need submissions by April 28. Drop them by the office. We have frames if you need them. We encourage every family to have all kids participate!
 
Opening day will be May 4, 12:30 to 1 p.m. in Forbes Hall.
 
Join us for some art and refreshments...and maybe even some music.
 
The theme will be steampunk, an interesting art form blending science, steam technology and elements of the Victorian Era. Think about the drawings of Jules Verne.
 
The co-curators of this art show are Madeline Gordon, age 16 (YRUU), and Alex Michaelson, age 13 (COA). Both are experienced in art. Maddy focuses on photography and Alex specializes in painting and modeling. They are helping to put together a thought-provoking and interesting show.
 
Come out to the show and support our kids with their wonderful art!

Faith in Action
Join member and friends this first weekend of June for the Art Wall Opening Reception, featuring UUSM’s Faith In Action Committee (FIA).  The reception will be held on Sunday, June 2, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Forbes Hall.
 
Faith In Action is an active committee of UUSM and currently acts as an umbrella for other church committees, including the Peace and Social Justice group.
 
Over the past year, FIA has hosted many important events focusing on peace in the Middle East, the economy and labor rights with emphasis on hotel workers, racism and police brutality, and immigration and immigrant detention.
 
Recently, FIA hosted more than 40 energetic, committed young people in their late teens and twenties filled the Sanctuary and campus on last month to organize for climate justice.
 
What’s next for Faith In Action? Come to the Art Wall reception on Sunday and find out, because sometimes, word of mouth still works.
 
Contact Cyndee at assistant@uusm.org, 310-829-5436 ext. 102 for info or appointments. Contact Beverly Alison for further info about the artist or about exhibiting on the Art Wall at UU Santa Monica. Contact Roberta Frye for any FIA  related matters at fia@uusm.org
