This page lists additions and changes in the last three months. If you are one of our regular visitors, this will tell you what's new*.

29 April 2008: Began adding pictures of the authors to the Minister's Sermons and Guest sermons. I'm using the same one for the Minister each time, until I get some more pictures of her.

27 April 2008: Added the Historic Headings page. We changed to the new one (above) in March 2008. It has almond blossoms as crisp and white as a newly starched shirt against a sky so blue you could dye cloth in it. Historic Headings preserves the pallid, fuzzy heading we put up with for years. Our Web Master is a dab hand at wry humor but mediocre at graphics.

27 April 2008: Added Minister's sermon A Green Thing - and More
Rev. Grace discusses our seventh Principle, "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." This is the third of three sermons that look at our UU Principles. Rev. Grace gave this sermon in October 2007, but we posted it April 2008. We're human, and subject to error.

26 April 2008: Updated Calendar and News, Grace Notes and Sunday Services.

07 April 2008: Added Minister's sermon UU Myths and Sacred Cows
Does "anything go" with UUs? Do we have limits or boundaries? Does our breadth of theology mean we're completely different from other churches? Do we overdo our individualism? Maybe. Maybe not! (Delivered 06 April 2008)

02 April 2008: Updated Calendar and News, Grace Notes and Sunday Services.

13 March 2008: Updated Calendar and News, Grace Notes and Sunday Services.

07 March 2008: Updated Calendar and News, Grace Notes and Sunday Services, after I got home from Peru.

06 March 2008: Added Minister's sermon Ambiguity – Slippery, Sometimes Confusing Stuff
Each year, Rev. Grace offers a sermon at our Spring auction. The topic is the bidder’s choice. Last Spring, Eugene Conrotto was the successful bidder. He wanted a sermon on ambiguity. What do you suppose that means? (Delivered February 24, 2008)

11 February 2008: Added Minister's sermon Out of Slavery
A new book, entitled "Slave No More" prints recently discovered journals of two men who escaped from slavery about the time of the Civil War. Their accounts are remarkable tales of determination, perseverance and courage. Even the finding of their accounts are remarkable tales. (Delivered February 3, 2008)

01 February 2008: Updated Calendar and News, Sunday Services.

28 January 2008: Added Minister's sermon What's Your Issue?
We often speak of the interdependent web and the ways our actions affect it. We want to help the world become a better place. But so many organizations and opportunities call for our attention! How do we choose? It's an ongoing challenge. Rev. Grace discusses some possibilities. (Delivered January 13, 2008)

11 January 2008: Updated Calendar and News, Grace Notes and Sunday Services.

* [Ed. Note 1: You are welcome to read the old pages again, of course. I read the complete Sherlock Holmes every couple of years, and I've listened to Beethoven's Ninth dozens of times. In both cases I know how the work ends, but I still enjoy it.]

[Ed. Note 2: This page has two other purposes. It lets me keep track of what I've done for my quarterly report to the board, and the steady, regular "updated Services, Calendar . . ." entries every three weeks show the casual visitor how - dare I write it? Faithful this web master is to his task.]
