Title: Parallel Universes: One Young Evangelical’s Experience of Being Caught in a Time Warp
Topic: This presentation is a series of three fictional short stories featuring 11-year-old Gene Montgomery, of Wichita, Kansas, in January 1967. On the day after Thanksgiving 1966, Gene awakens to a shocking awareness—his older brothers are missing, and no one even remembers them except him. He is mystified and devastated. However, as time progresses he learns that they are still alive but that he, or they, are caught in parallel universes, and they are 50 years ahead of him in 2016/2017. As a fervently committed Evangelical he is shocked at what he learns is going on 50 years in the future of his beloved country, and some of the things that are being supported by his people (the Evangelicals) and his family’s political party (the Republicans). Gene goes about trying to respond to his loss, attempting to communicate with his brothers (50 years in the future), confessing to some of his own errors and mistakes that he makes along the way, and trying to make sense out of what is happening with his people. All is written from a rather simplistic, and always humorous, 11-year-old perspective.

For experienced knitters or crocheters, feel free to bring a project you’re already working on, or a new one you’d like to start. One of our goals is to make some items for a local homeless shelter, so if you’d like to make a hat or scarf to donate, that would be great.

For anyone wanting to learn to knit:
Sandy will be helping to get you started. (Thank you for being our knitting instructor, Sandy!)

Please bring with you:

A set of size 8 knitting needles (single-pointed). If you have the option of longer or shorter needles, go for the shorter (10-inch).
Worsted weight yarn (A lighter color makes it easier for beginners to see the stitches.) “Red Heart” is a great, easy-to-find, and economically-priced brand.
A pair of scissors
A bag to carry everything in

Who am I?
2018-10-14 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Speaker: Dr. Walter Kania
Topic: Last month we focused on “The Transformational Power of Your Mind.” We noted that the thoughts we think produce feelings and impact our belief system, our body chemistry, our state of health or illness, and our behavior. Yet our bulletin quoted Eckhart Tolle as saying, “To realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually.” Did last month’s focus on thoughts and Tolle’s quote leave you in a confusing predicament? There is no contradiction inherent in those two messages (mine or Tolle’s). I have enormous
respect for Eckhart, his thoughts, and his writings. It will all make sense when you have an
answer to the question of Who You Are!
