Hiking Group Beach Hike This is an ideal time to hike along the Malibu beaches. We will meet at church and decide between two areas with beach access, Big Rock Beach and Escondido Beach. Big Rock is closer to Santa Monica. Hiking at low tide is a good way to see less populated beaches and interesting beach homes. It may be cold or hot; dress for temperature change. Bright sun reflects off the water so sunscreen and hats are very important. Bring water and a snack. You should be able to climb a flight of stairs and hike about 5 miles. Expect mostly packed, wet sand and some rocks; tennis or hiking shoes are best. The tide will not be low enough for tidepool exploration. For more information, call Steve Young or Phil Bonacich. Expect to return to the church by about 1 PM |

History Class - "Faith Like a River"Faith Like a River, Part 2: Themes from Unitarian Universalist History Facilitated by Catherine Farmer Loya
Six sessions: Thursdays February 21 – March 28
7-9 p.m., Forbes Room 4
Faith Like a River explores the dynamic course of Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist (UU) history — the people, ideas, and movements that have shaped our faith heritage. It invites participants to place themselves into our history and consider its legacies. What lessons do the stories of our history teach that can help us live more faithfully in the present? What lessons do they offer to be lived into the future?
Join facilitator Catherine Farmer Loya for an exploration of our UU religious tradition’s roots.
After the introductory first session, this course will explore aspects of our history not covered in last spring’s Faith Like a River class; however, there is no need to have taken the earlier course in order to participate fully.
Sign up now by emailing catherinedre@yahoo.com or at the Lifespan RE table in Forbes Hall during coffee hour.
