SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2018 | 5A FUUF looks to ‘graceful endings’ Campbell receives communication as year’s end approaches The service on Sunday, Dec. 2, at the Florence Unitarian Uni- versalist Fellowship will be led by the Rev. Dr. Marcia Pearce. During the service, which runs from 10 to 11 a.m., Pearce will speak about “Graceful Endings & New Beginnings.” Opening Tues., Dec., 4th! Buy, Sell, Trade Shop Buying “like new” Baby, Kid and Maternity items All Clothing Items $8.00 or less Open Tuesday - Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm. 1901 Hwy 101 Florence 541-997-5183 “December is symbolic, not only for the coming of a new birth, but also for the letting go of what has been quietly trying to die away — the no longer usefulness of old ‘stuff,’” she said. “Perhaps those are un- comfortable memories or the little things that just won’t let go. The journey which starts each today, can only begin when we let go of yesterday. We might think, ‘Ah yes, new beginnings are the opportu- nity to start anew,’ or we ner- vously think, ‘Oh no, New Year’s resolutions!’” Journalist and author Cory Doctorow has said about graceful endings, “Every good thing comes to some kind of end, and then the really good things can begin.” The fellowship is located at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road and is wheelchair accessible. Each service con- cludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the questions that come up during each worship service. For more information, visit www.florenceuuf.org.

Walter Tunick, Ed.D. will discuss his book “Spiritual Journey: The Bahá’í Faith.” The evening will be an ef- fort to acquaint participants with the message of the Bahá’í Faith, its history and its prin- ciples. Walter states that the deteri- orating moral conditions that are spreading globally have caused devastating gaps in social behavior that endanger the well-being of all societies and nations. The growth of interest in moral and religious values has been stirring calls to action among the estab- lished religions. The Bahá’í Faith, claiming hereditary connections with its older sister religions, offers relevant explanations for cur- rent world problems that do not conflict with the earlier teachings. People should come pre- pared to share their thoughts with the group. At the end of the gathering, the members will read the prayer requests that have been left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Play- house, 208 Laurel St. Community invited to sing carols with Lutheran Church The season of Christmas is upon us.
