Helping Our Natural World
As part of our ongoing program of environmental Sundays, Dashiell Leeds, an environmental advocate for the Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter, will be our speaker. Dashiell focuses on influencing city and county governments to pass environmental policies. In today’s talk, Dashiell will inform us about local environmental efforts such as climate change mitigation, habitat protection, bird-safe design and dark sky policies. We will also learn some basic tools to advocate and influence our local government on these important issues.

A Beltane Mother’s Day
Join us for an observance of Mother’s Day with a Gaelic-inspired celebration of Beltane (aka May Day). A Celtic creation myth featuring Mother Danu will help us to focus gratitude on those who have mothered us, and we will consider what we might learn from Mother Danu. We will also learn more about the Gaelic holiday of Beltane, and a maypole will be set up for the children.
Today’s service leader is Georgia Platts, a member of our congregation who enjoys studying the ancient Celts and their celebrations. She is a retired Foothill College instructor of sociology and women’s studies who now volunteers on issues including climate, poverty and the corrupting influence of money in politics.

Stronger Together
To make our world better, each of us must celebrate and share our unique gifts to nurture our planet. As curious, spiritually independent people, our Fellowship strives to provide an open and supportive environment to explore the creativity, strength, and wisdom within the diverse experiences and aspirations of each of us. We find joy and meaning in such a community. And by working together, we strengthen our connections.
