THE ART COMMITTEE INVITES YOU TO ATTEND AN ARTIST RECEPTION Sunday, September 26 1 to 3 pm Keith Artz will be showing brightly colored still-life watercolors, featuring cut crystal, flowers, fruit, marbles, and Ukrainian Easter eggs. Keith infuses his “optical treasures” with vibrant color and close attention to the play of light and shadow. Hannah Voss's show, “Terra Infirma,” features something new for our galleries: wall pieces made from vitreous enamel, an ancient technique of fusing glass and metal together. Hannah loves the color, brilliance, and transparency of the enamel and the expressive quality of the wire that she also uses in her work. Refreshments will be served at the reception. A portion of the sale of each art work benefits the church. Everyone is welcome. Start: 1:00 pm

Religious naturalism is a philosophy of life that combines three separate but overlapping and interrelated intellectual traditions: science, liberalism and modernism. It is a religious orientation to life that encompasses three spheres of human experience: an interpretive sphere of human experience, which describes our responses to the Big Questions about our place in the cosmos; a moral sphere of human experience which describes how we interact with our earthly companions; and a spiritual sphere of human experience which describes our inward personal responses to existence. Religious naturalism has deep roots in the Unitarian | ||
