To Bee, or Not To Bee
We’ll dig into the evolutionary history and ecological impact of bees, exploring their transition from solitary ancestors to highly social pollinators. We will explore their deep coevolution with flowers and the distinct roles of wild native bees in ecosystems versus semi-domesticated honey bees in global agriculture. We’ll cover the mechanics of modern hive maintenance and honey harvesting, alongside complex colony behaviors such as the waggle dance and collective temperature regulation. –Jasper and Dan Gruhl, service lay leaders

Two Keys to Successful Social Movements
MLK said that any religion concerned with the soul but ignoring social, economic, and racial injustice was “spiritually moribund”. Today let’s look at two important keys to successful social movements, which were used by Gandhi, MLK, and the Seneca Falls suffragettes. Should we align with high ideals, even when those ideals fall short? And what can we learn about being powerful versus feeling powerful? UUFLG member Georgia Platts, a retired lecturer of sociology and women’s studies, will lead our service.

Stronger Together
To make our world better, each of us must celebrate and share our unique gifts to nurture our planet. As curious, spiritually independent people, our Fellowship strives to provide an open and supportive environment to explore the creativity, strength, and wisdom within the diverse experiences and aspirations of each of us. We find joy and meaning in such a community. And by working together, we strengthen our connections.
