Sunday, November 3, 11:00 a.m. – Being Prepared – Lori Dengler and Berti Welty
November 5 is World Tsunami Awareness Day, the perfect time to talk about preparedness and creating a disaster-resilient community. Lori Dengler will give an overview of hazards, what could happen after an earthquake or flood in the Jacoby Creek area, personal preparedness, resources, and steps the Fellowship might explore to expand our role in this area. Copies of Living On Shaky Ground and tsunami information will be available.
Lori Dengler is an emeritus professor of geology at CalPoly Humboldt and an expert in tsunami and earthquake hazards. Since retiring in 2015, she continues to work on North Coast earthquake and tsunami preparedness and writes the weekly “Not My Fault” column in the Times-Standard.
Sunday, November 10, 11:00 a.m. – Practice Repair – Amy Day
“Perhaps I have tools you could borrow, perhaps you could lend me from yours, and together we can practice repair.” So writes Rev. James McFarland. Join us for this special post-election service, where we will gather inside the sacred space of community once more, to bear witness to what feels ruptured both within our own hearts and lives, and within the larger collective, as well. Together, we will reclaim our tools for repair.
Maggie McKnight will offer music on this Sunday.
Sunday, November 17, 11:00 a.m. – The Wisdom of the Heart – Karen Harris and Amy Day
Join well-known teacher and former HUUF minister Karen Harris as she delivers a heartfelt message that speaks to the collective moment we are in. With grace, humility, and a generous dose of humor, she will invite us into a space in which we can receive the wisdom of our own hearts, and gather what we need to move well in these times.
Sunday, November 24, 11:00 a.m. – We Give Thanks – Amy Day
On this Stone Soup Sunday, we invite you to join us for a heart-lifting experience of reciprocity in motion. Together we’ll lift our voices, spirits, and hands in offering to the whole. Part of our time together will include a few key acts of service, before sitting down to a collective feast. Please bring a small dish to share.
