Haiti Relief
If you are seeking a way to contribute to the relief efforts in Haiti, you may do so through the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. In cooperation with the Unitarian Universalist Association, a special relief fund has been created, the UUSC-UUA Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. This UUSC-UUA Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund will work with partner organizations in Haiti to meet the needs of those less likely to be served by the important work of the major relief organizations. For details and to contribute on line, go to www.uusc.org. And thank you!
Sunday, January 24
This Sunday will be the annual pulpit
exchange between our First Parish and
our offspring church, Second Parish.
Ken will be preaching down the street
at Second Parish, and Rev. Paul Sprecher, serving Second Parish since 2006
will be our preacher.
"How Miracles Happen" Two of our
early Unitarian Prophets, William
Ellery Channing and Ralph Waldo
Emerson, disagreed about the significance of 'Miracles' in religious faith.
Sometimes ordinary events look a lot
like miracles for those who benefit
from them.

Thinking of Becoming a Member?
We are starting a new tradition of signing the membership book during the service in the Meeting House (if you feel comfortable doing so) on the last Sunday of each month. If you enjoy the Old Ship community and find yourself in harmony with the UU principals of freedom and reason in religion, you may be considering membership. We'd love to warmly welcome you as a new member on Sunday, January 31st. Please contact Ken Read-Brown (oldshipkrb@comcast.net) or Ivy Butterworth (ivy_butter@yahoo.com) for more information or to answer any questions/concerns.
