February 26: Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice Rev. Dr. Sara Zimmerman
Last June, delegates at the UU General Assembly in Charlotte, NC, approved Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice as a 2011 Statement of Conscience. What does that mean for us as individuals and for our congregation? To help Unitarian Universalist congregations and individuals live into our Statement of Conscience, a UUA President's Advisory Committee on Ethical Eating was formed. During a month prior to this sermon, Rev. Zimmerman will follow the guidelines and then she will share her experience during the sermon. What was that like?
Following service: Conversations With The Board and Church Council Meeting in the Multipurpose Building
Members of the Board of Trustees will provide an update from 12:15 to 12:30 p.m. followed by Church Coucil. The Planning Committee will reveal the four facets of the proposed new 5-year plan.
At 12:30 we will transition to the Church Council Meeting. All Committee Chairs are requested to be represented and share updates followed by a more detailed overview of the four facets by the Planning committee. While Church Council consists of Committee Chairs, all member are welcome to attend. We plan to conclude at 1:30 p.m. And yes, food will be served!
March 4: Immigration Issues and Non-Violent Approaches Rev. Dr. Sara Zimmerman
What are the moral convictions that underlie the support that many Unitarian Universalists give to immigration reform? In late June, the UU Association General Assembly in Phoenix, Arizona will focus on immigration. Here in Florida, we support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) in their support of migrant workers. Rev. Zimmerman regards the struggle to bring about reform as a moral struggle. She will discuss the non-violent compassionate and empathic approaches of Gandhi, the Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez, and the faith that sustained them as relevant to this struggle.
March 11: Celebrating Women’s History Month and the 2012 Theme: Education

Author of the play Rev. Dr. Sara Zimmerman will set the scene and provide the play’s historical context.

Religious Education teachers Rhonda Jones and Nicole Drelles dramatically present the story, “Many Paths to God.” Enjoy the “God is...” art and poetry show with creative submissions by the UUCT children and youth.
March 25: Credo Sunday Rev. Dr. Sara Zimmerman
As Unitarian Universalists, each one of us is encouraged to build our own theology. A “Building Your Own Theology” course will have its final session on March 7. This class encourages everyone to look deeply at important moments and people in their lives for a source of understanding of how their past experiences in their timelines influence their present spiritual convictions. Several students from the class will share their “Credos” – their personal belief statements.
March 25th will be a New Member Sunday. If you would like to join the church during this service, please contact Rev. Sara, at
