Dec 13: "This won't hurt a bit!" Service Leader Allan McKeown

If you remember your doctor making that promise to you as a child, before he/she stuck a needle into your arm, you may have learned to be forever skeptical of medical advice or information! But what are the consequences of ignoring "expert opinion" regarding your child's health or vaccination recommendations? As Unitarians we are encouraged to "heed the guidance of reason and the results of science". How do we ensure that our decisions are "fact-based" in a world of often conflicting information and opinion?

Dec 20: "Tales of a Shopping Mall Santa" Service Leaders Tim van Bodegom and Jessica Core

INTER-GENERATIONAL. This "world premiere" by our "famous" directors will feature a cast of well known faces. Truly, an experience to gladden the spirit. Dickens would be proud!
