SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 2018 Unitarians explore midwinter traditions Spirituali-Tea to discuss This Sunday, Jan. 28, at the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, the Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will lead the worship service titled: “Imbolc, Candlemas and the Midwinter Fast.” Miller says, “While ice and snow cover the land and waterways, food is scarce, yet people have persevered. For millennia they have tight- ened their belts and focused on their inner, spir- itual life during this dark time of the year.” Miller will help the congregation to see how several different faith traditions interweave in the powerful processes that unfold at this sea- son. The meeting will be from 10 to 11 a.m. FUUF is located at 87738 Highway 101, at Heceta Beach Road, and is wheelchair accessi- ble. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the questions that come up during each worship service. For more information, visit www.florenceu- uf.org. OPB features driftwood artists in January Oregon Pacific Bank is fea- turing the “Driftwood Art” of Andy Nedder and Edie Carhart during the month of January. Driftwood Art is the collab- oration of a retired carpenter and a trained artist. On a “lark,” they combined talents and put together the image of a bird on a piece of local drift- wood. As Nedder states, “The idea bloomed into a celebration of Coastal Oregon birds.” Nedder collects and finish- es the driftwood; they pick a bird to fit the wood and make a template for Nedder to cut out of plywood. Carhart paints the plywood, and then Nedder attaches the finished bird to the plywood. Nedder and Carhart each moved to Florence in 2016 with their spouses. They met at a reunion for Laguna Beach High School graduates (their This Monday, Jan. 29, at 6:30 p.m., all are invited to join a group of people who enjoy finding the common grounds in diverse spiritual thoughts and paths. The group’s desire is to trust one’s own path enough to be open to the value of the thoughts and paths of others. The group meets at 875 Seventh St. The topic for Monday’s gathering is divine happiness. The Baha’i Writings say, “The mind and spirit of man advance when he is tried by suffering. The more the ground is ploughed, the better the seed will grow and the bet- ter the harvest will be. Just as the plough furrows the earth deeply, purifying it of weeds and thistles, so suffering and tribulation free man from the petty affairs of this worldly life until he arrives at a state of complete detachment. His atti- tude in this world will be that of divine happiness. Man is, so to speak, unripe: the heat of the fire of suffering will mature him. Look back to the times past and you will find that the greatest men have suf- fered most.” Bring your thoughts on the subject for open discussion. The gathering will end at 8 p.m. with prayers for the requests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those shared by the group.
