November 7 Guest at Your Table. Children from RE will share photos from their "pre-" Guest at Your Table experience during "Time for All Ages." Owen Jones, friend of GMUUC and published photographer, will share his photos from 3rd world countries to set the stage for our Guest program. This has become an annual event at GMUUC occurring during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season. Attendees will have the opportunity to take a bank or an envelope for their contribution.

November 14 Huck Finn and The Awful Sacredness." The Reverend Dr. Edward Frost suggests a little homework in advance of this sermon. Dig out your old copy of "Huckleberry Finn." Or borrow one. Get one used and cheap. Re-read it and think about the meaning of "raft," and "shore," and "conscience." Mark Twain used these as metaphors. Dr. Frost will share with you some thoughts about this book - one of the finest novels in American literature.

November 21 Giving Thanks: Ethical Eating. As we gather in our annual recognition of thanksgiving and harvest, we will take a look at the UUA Study adopted at a recent General Assembly about ways we can rethink our food production, gathering, purchases and intake. Members of GMUUC will offer suggestions as to ways that have worked for them, and we will reflect on our seventh principle as we honor our community.

CARE ON THIS TOPIC. Intergenerational Service with music from choir and congregation.

November 28 Returning favorite Ken Sizemore from Pensacola will lead us to remember some of the most memorable and important songs of the 50s and 60s marches, concerts and rallies in a program entitled We Shall Overcome Songs of the Civil/Human Rights Movement, and share stories of some of those songs and the people who wrote them, sang them and made them famous.

That keeps an open mind to the religious questions you have struggled with in all times and places?

Where personal experience, conscience and reason are believed to be the final authorities in religion, and that in the end religious authority lies not in a book or person or institution, but in yourself?

Where no one is required to subscribe to a creed?

Where everyone is welcomed in a safe, accepting community with open hearts and minds?

Where people nurtue one another in spiritual growth and the expression of personal values through service to people and the planet?

Where the congregation is self-governing. Authority and responsibility are vested in the membership?

Georgia Mountains Unitarian Universalist Church may be for you.

Come and visit. Service is held every Sunday at 11:00 am.

Dress is Casual. Children's Religious Education meets concurrently
