The Writings and Spirit of John Muir
John Muir (1838–1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist, writer, and adventurer who had an incredible passion for nature. His lasting influence has resulted in many of today’s protected wilderness areas. He believed protecting nature was vital not only for ecosystems but for human emotional and spiritual health. He often described nature in spiritual terms. His many accomplishments include co-founding the Sierra Club in 1892 and laying the foundation for today’s U.S. National Park System. Join us this Sunday to explore details of his life and philosophies. –Kathy Duncan, service lay leader & retired college biology professor

Stages of Spiritual Development
On 10/18, we looked at some New Thought prayer technologies and started exploring Michael Beckwith’s Stages of Spiritual Development through a New Thought lens (To me, By me, Through me, As me). Other psychological and faith traditions also have maps or descriptions of the ways we think, move, and feel as we grow in spiritual maturity. Let’s explore these together and see what resonates. And, as always, enjoy music and fellowship in community together! –Shams Cohen, UUFLG minister

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.
