On March 7, the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will take a preliminary look at ecotheology, a form of constructive theology that focuses on the interrelationships of religion and nature. Specifically timely, as we enter into discussions about the harvesting of natural gas, the service will examine human religious/spiritual worldviews that might inform a non-polarized exploration of the topic. With story, song and visuals, the service is geared to a rediscovery of place and the sense of community it holds.

Extravaganza of music, silence and drumming guaranteed to stir the soul.
With rejuvenation and balance in mind, the UDUUF is hosting the second Soulful Sundown gathering this Sunday, February 28 at 4:00 p.m. Designed by Pattie Capobianco, Kazzrie Jaxen and Laurie Stuart, and featuring the Drummers, the gathering will provide an opportunity to participate in meditative music, movement (if you want), silence and restorative poetry.
The gathering will run about an hour, and we have planned time for meditative singing, silent personal reflection and candle lighting, a spoken word or two and more singing. We're looking forward to blending of voices, the beat of African and steel tongued drums, some clear strains of a flute and the soothing vibrations of the Reverie Harp, with a little Chi Gong on the side.
It the midst of the fast pace of our world, we hope to gain a measure of peace, in community, in sound and silence. Perhaps you will find yourself there this Sunday.

Sunday, February 14th, is “National Standing on the Side of Love Day,” and the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is celebrating a Valentine’s Day re-imagined with a community breakfast beginning at 11:00 a.m. at the Berlin Township Community Center in Beach Lake, PA.
With stations for fresh French Toast and make your own omelets, the fellowship will explore expressions of love that are more than romance, greeting cards and chocolates, but speak to our greatest desires for peace, connection, meaning and understanding.
Participants are encouraged to bring words of wisdom, favorite writings and objects for a community altar, which speak to you of the power of love and sustenance in your life.

"Normal" is a compelling story of a family in transition as Roy, who has been married to Irma for 25 years, reveals that the stress of being a woman in a man's body has grown intolerable. Through this heart-warming story about acceptance and love, the film explores gender stereotypes and how one family maneuvers through societal pressures to conform and finds a way to support each other through a difficult journey.
A discussion will follow after the film.

"The Visitor" tells the story of a professor who comes face-to-face with illegal immigrants living in his apartment. What happens to him makes for a compelling tale of transformation and a provocative study on the nature of the interconnected web of existence. The 2008 film, directed by Thomas McCarthy ("The Station Agent"), features Richard Jenkins in his Oscar-nominated role as the emotionally shutdown academic moved to action.
Please join us for the film and an open discussion following the screening.

Felt is an amazing fiber and felting is creating fabric with integrity without weaving or spinning. As a natural fiber, it embodies its inherent life qualities and not only it is fascinating and easy, it is great metaphor for exploring spirituality and our creative and unique muse. The afternoon workshop will give participants a feel for the felting process and a hands-on experience of connecting and creating a natural fiber with a spiritual perspective of interrelatedness.
A free-will donation will be collected as a materials fee.
