"A Gift Economy" Service ~ Oct. 4, 2008

Rev. Thea Neitfeld

Materialism can lead to unending hunger, even when physical needs are met; asceticism can deny the body's needs and the link between the physical and the spiritual. We can reflect on our giving habits and our best selves. We will acknowledge UU Association Sunday by considering what we have to give our sister congregation.

S.O.S. Recovery Groups

("Secular Organizations for Sobriety" or "Save Our Selves") note: secular means nonreligious, not anti-religious...SOS prides itself in being tolerant of all paths that lead to recovery. - S.O.S. is a support organization for individuals recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. Tulsa SOS has recently celebrated its third year of continuous operation. It is a friendly alternative to such organizations as Alcoholics Anonymous, which many feel have a religious/ spiritual basis to their recovery programs. SOS takes a strictly secular approach, emphasizing that each individual must draw upon his or her own resources to deal with the problems of addiction...hence the name "Save Our Selves". Larry H. will be the presenter. Please join us afterwards for a luncheon.
