Community Calendar

This Sunday is a Fellowship Service, founded in the Unitarian Universalist philosophy of Small Group ministry. We gather with a lay leader in conversations that deepen and expand the ministry of a congregation. Two key focuses are building community and deepening relationships, and the opportunity for deeper spiritual exploration and search for meaning. This month, we are exploring Living Love through the spiritual practice of Freedom. Please, join us!
Please Note: There will be no Zoom or LiveStream and the music will be a cappella

The program coordinator suggests the readings, selecting works that spark interest and discussion, from classics to contemporary authors.

Sessions provide a friendly and enriching environment where each reader contributes their perspective and enjoys the diversity of interpretations that a good book can inspire.

As part of our Summer Reading Program for adults, join us for a Book Talk on Silvia Moreno-Garcia's novel, Mexican Gothic. After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemi Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She's not sure what she will find--her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemi knows little about the region. Noemi is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid. As she faces a sinister family, strange visions, and dark secrets, she begins to unravel the disturbing past of High Place and its inhabitants. Over appetizers and drinks, we will discuss themes, questions, and what resonated with you during a discussion facilitated by Mary Fox and Elizabeth de Wetter. A limited number of free copies will be available.

Como parte de nuestro Programa de Lectura Durante el Verano para personas adultas, acompáñanos para una Conversación Literaria con la novela de Silvia Moreno-Garcia: “Mexican Gothic” (el título en español ha sido traducido como Gótico). Después de haber recibido una carta de su prima recién casada en la que suplica frenéticamente que alguien la rescate de una misteriosa fatalidad, Noemi Taboada se dirige a High Place, una casa distante en una zona rural mexicana. Ella no está segura de lo que encontrará —el marido de su prima, un guapo hombre inglés, es un completo extraño, y Noemi tiene escaso conocimiento sobre la región. Noemi también resulta ser una rescatista dudosa: es una debutante glamorosa y sus vestidos elegantes y su perfecto lápiz labial rojo son más apropiados para fiestas de cóctel que para una investigación criminal efectuada por una principiante. Pero Noemi también es fuerte e inteligente, con una voluntad indomable y no tiene miedo. Mientras se enfrenta a una familia siniestra, visiones extrañas y secretos oscuros, ella comienza a desenredar el pasado inquietante de High Place y sus habitantes. Acompáñanos para discutir los temas, responder a interrogantes y compartir todos los aspectos del libro que hayan resonado contigo, mientras disfrutamos de aperitivos y bebidas en una conversación facilitada por Mary Fox y Elizabeth de Wetter. Contaremos con un número limitado de ejemplares disponibles.
