On Monday, May 28, 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 meeting is at 875 Seventh St. in Florence. The topic is “A Slight Verbal Chastisement.” The Baha’i writings say; “Let the mothers consider that whatever concerneth the education of children is of the first importance. Let them put forth every effort in this regard, for when the bough is green and tender it will grow in whatever way ye train it. Therefore, is it incumbent upon the mothers to rear their little ones even as a gardener tendeth his young plants. Let them strive by day and by night to establish within their children faith and certitude, the fear of God, the love of the Beloved of the worlds and all good qualities and traits,” `Abdu’l-Bahá stated. “When- soever a mother seeth that her child hath done well, let her praise and applaud him and cheer his heart; and if the slightest undesirable trait should manifest itself, let her counsel the child and punish him, and use means based on reason, even a slight verbal chastisement should this be necessary. It is not, however, permissible to strike a child, or vilify him, for the child’s character will be totally per- verted if he be subjected to blows or verbal abuse.” Bring your thoughts on the subject for open discussion. The gathering will end at 8 p.m. with prayers for the re- quests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those shared by the group. For more information, call Suzanne Mann-Heintz at 541- 590-0616. On Sunday, May 27, from 10 until 11 a.m., at the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fellow- ship, the Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will lead the worship service titled, “The Science of Bless- ing.” “One of the traditions lost in recent decades is the act of blessing our food, or ‘saying grace’ before a meal,” Miller said. “Over the same years, ancient rituals of blessing the fleet, the land or the animals who live with us and serve us, have gone by the wayside as well. Most of us have been taught that these were empty rituals, best left behind.” Miller has studied the cul- tural, psychological and bio- logical research and has come to a different understanding, which she will share during Sunday’s program. The fellowship is located at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road and is wheelchair accessible. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the questions that come up during each wor- ship service.

Designed as convivial events like those in the film “Midnight in Paris,” literary salons cele- brate local writers and the liter- ary arts. Hosted by FRAA cre- ative writing instructor and award-winning journalist, col- umnist and author Catherine J. Rourke, the salon is free and open to the public. Following the tradition of Gertrude Stein’s infamous 1930s Parisian salons, each event highlights “Featured Authors” who talk about their writing and share excerpts from their books. An Open Mic follows, during which writers of all levels and genres are invited to read, recite or sing excerpts from their pub- lished or unpublished material. A $5 donation is suggested to support FRAA for providing the space and refreshments will be available. Florence writer Judy Flea- gle will appear as the featured author, sharing passages from “The Oregon Coast Guide to the UNEXPECTED” and “Devil Cat and Other Colorful Ani- mals I Have Known,” a book about rescue animals. Fleagle served as an editor/ staff writer for Oregon Coast and Northwest Travel magazines for 21 years. Visit crossingsauthor. wordpress.com for more info about her work. Those who wish to partici- pate in the open mic must arrive at 5:30 p.m. to sign up. Reading slots are limited to five minutes on a first-come basis. Call 541-708-2120 or email CJReditor@gmail.com to pre- register for the open mic or for more info.
