February 24, 2019 Topic: Climate Action as Radical Love How can confronting climate change be an act of love? The issue of climate change requires us to broaden our understandings of love so it extends beyond borders, species and generations. It requires us to find collective ways to foster radical hope. Gabrielle and Emma are organizers and co-founders of Climate Justice Edmonton, a grassroots collective organizing for social and environmental justice on Treaty 6 territory. Speaker: Emma Jackson and/or Gabrielle Gelderman Service Leader: Sally-Ann Mowat Musician: Jennifer McMillan **Children begin downstairs** March 3, 2019 Topic: Relevant, Vital & Transformative: Towards an Enduring Future Speaker: Rev. Anne Barker What does it mean, as a Unitarian Universalist community, to be relevant, vital & transformative, toward an enduring future? Join us this morning as we ask – and maybe even answer – this important question. Service Leader: Brenda Jackson Musician: Sheila Killoran **Children begin upstairs** March 10, 2019 Topic: Tales from the Club: Insights from the Free Thinker Book Club. What do those FreeThinkers talk about deep in the Westwood Basement? Two members share their insights. Speaker: Free Thinker Book Club Service Leader: Reverend Anne Barker Musician: Toot Ensemble **Children begin downstairs** March 17, 2019 Topic: Seasons of Intent In a world where it seems people are driving wedges between differences … focusing on connection is a radical act. Today, we are talking about the power of “Intent”. Speaker: Reverend Anne Barker Service Leader: David Williamson Musician: Harmonia **Children begin upstairs** March 24, 2019 Topic: Layers of Intention One woman’s story of discovering the layers of intention that exist within, and how the process of discovery revealed and allowed greater connection between the inner self and the outer world. Speaker: Phyllis Woolley Service Leader: Sally-Ann Mowat Musician: Jennifer McMillan **Children begin downstairs** Feb 24 Sun
