Retired UWBC English Professor Robert Hasman will conduct the Service hour at the Blue Hills Universalist-Unitarian fellowship Sunday, November 17th.  Bob’s topic “The Inconvenience Store on Difficult Street” promises to deliver a wealth of pithy views on modern life, as well as the wisdom of an Elder who has been observant of generational change.  The Service Hour begins at 10:00 a.m.

The Blue Hills UU’s are also hosting their annual SOUPER SUNDAY this same morning, beginning at 11:30 a.m.    Members offer an interesting variety of home made soups, chilis and stews, as well as a range of home made breads at this fund raising event which is open to the public.  For $5 dollars, participants are invited to partake of “all the soup they can eat”, as well as to purchase additional to take with them;  the funds raised at this event go towards enabling some of the local Blue Hills UU humanitarian efforts.

The Unitarian-Universalists are a welcoming congregation and the Blue Hills fellowship is located at 230 W. Messenger  in Rice Lake.

Our neighbor Dr. Steve Carlson of Shell Lake will visit Blue Hills UU on November 10th to share his experience with modern Quakers: what they believe, how they conduct their business, and how they act in society.

In an informal forum Steve will share his spiritual journey, which began as a Lutheran. Sequentially, he became an atheist, an agnostic, a person interested in Eastern religions, followed by a return to the Lutheran church, then to the Methodists before he finally became a full member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Eau Claire. The morning promises to stimulate thoughtful discussion and insight.

A short time for fellowship and light nourishment will follow the 10:00 a.m. service. All are welcome at Blue Hills UU.

One of the tenets of being a Universalist-Unitarian is the stand taken “in the service of justice”; our national UU Service Committee advances human rights through grassroots collaborations.  Sunday, November 3rd, member Linda Thompson will talk about the work of  our organization, and kick off for our own yearly “Guest at Your Table” project. 

The Service begins at 10:00 a.m., followed by a time for gathering and light snacks in the Fellowship Hall.   Blue Hills UU is a welcoming congregation located at 230 W Messenger in Rice Lake, and we invite all to attend.
