Please join us for our next service on Sunday, September 5, at 10:30. Since this is a holiday weekend we will be having a open forum discussion on the topic of Immigration. Here are some questions that may be considered during our discussion:
1) Should being present in the U.S. without permission be considered a crime?
2) What should be done with people already here illegally?
3) Should children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants be granted automatic citizenship?
4) Some argue that illegal immigrants help to keep prices low for things such as food, hotels, restaurants, landscaping, and other products and services. Are you willing to pay more for groceries, hospitality services, etc., in order to control illegal immigration?
5) How does fear affect US citizens' view on immigration today?
6) Some have proposed mass deportations of millions of people from the US who here illegally. What would be the consequences of the mass deportations?
We will be meeting at Wilkes Family Central at Lincoln Heights. Directions are from the mid-town intersection in Wilkesboro. This is the intersection where Wilkesboro Blvd, Main Street and Oakwoods Rd all intersect.
Traveling east through Wilkesboro, once you go through the light and up the hill you are on East Main. Continue on for .9 of a mile from the intersection.
Turn right at the Wilkes Family Central at Lincoln Heights sign. It's a yellow, red, black and white sign on a brick structure. Go .3 of a mile, through a residential area. You will see a gate and a drive that goes straight off the road, while the road turns to the left. Drive through the gates and down the hill. Park in the parking lower parking lot that is near the picnic tables. We meet in this building. Come in the brown doors at the end. Go about half way down the hall to the Family Room, number 107 on the left.
Coffee and socializing at 10:00 AM
Childcare will be provided.

Three practical ideals for getting through the day
1. Want what you have;
2. Do what you can; and
3. Be who you are.
From Forest Church's sermon, "How to Make the Most of Hard Times", see Sermon Archives or click here.
"Our Liberal Faith"
UU Faith is not a believe whatever you choose to believe faith, rather it is a faith in which each of us is free to believe what we are each compelled to believe based upon a free and disciplined search for truth…
Excerpt taken from UU Faith Sermon by D. Doreion Colter, see Sermon Archives "Our Liberal Faith".

We currently do not have a permanet place to meet. Rose Glen Village has asked us to find a new location. Some of the residents were upset at our presence and since Rose Glen is their home, the director felt that she had to ask us to leave.
We have some ideas that we are pursuing. If you have any suggestions, please contact Clyde Ingle at 973-7839. We cannot afford to pay very much rent. We need two rooms, one for the service and a smaller one for religious education for the kids (usually just 2 or 3). We need restroom facilities. |

Yadkin Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
Imagine a church with room for different beliefs. . . YOURS.
Imagine a church where your most difficult spiritual & moral questions
are welcomed & encouraged & explored,
in an atmosphere of enthusiasm, tolerance, love & respect.
Imagine a church where every person is encouraged
to develop & express their own personal theology,
based in the authority of reason & conscience & love,
rather than in the doctrine of any single religious faith.
Imagine a church where everyone is truly welcome,
where human diversity is celebrated,
where human dignity is sacred,
& where the interdependence of all life is respected.
We are a vibrant, diverse, & growing Fellowship,
meeting 1st & 3rd Sundays each month. We are currently in transition from our location for Sunday services. Please check this web page and call 973 7839 to determine the location of our next service. We expect that a permanent location will choosen shortly.
Come & grow with us as we create the church we have always imagined. |
