Each month, on the first Sunday, we collect frozen casseroles and bags of fresh fruit and deliver them to Turning Point, a project of OPCC. Turning Point Transitional Housing is a 55-bed shelter for homeless men and women that offers housing and supportive services for up to 9 months. The project seeks to break the cycle of homelessness and to integrate homeless individuals back into the community by providing comprehensive, individualized services designed to address their physical and emotional needs. In addition to an individual sleeping area, three meals a day and clothing, Turning Point provides intensive case management, counseling and support groups, specialized programs such as job counseling, money management, health education, computer classes and independent living skills

Your food donation is greatly appreciated. Mark your food item for "Turning Point" and drop it off to the kitchen's freezer. Fruit can be tagged and left on the counter next to the freezer. For more information, contact hunger@uusm.org.

Western and Eastern religions describe two very different spiritual ultimates a personal God, and an impersonal beingness. Is one right and the other wrong? Does the contradiction suggest that religious thought is merely fantasy? Or could ultimate reality really have two different, equally real modes? Our guest speaker, Ricky Hoyt, is minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Verdugo Hills.
