Remember to bring with you bread that has a meaning for you or your family. We will be placing the bread on a communal table and sharing with each other the name of the bread we have brought and the heritage it represents. Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks for our blessings. It is a time to reflect upon the universality and complexity of blessings: from being open to receiving or recognizing a blessing in our lives to reaching out and being a blessing in the lives of others. Susan Frances, Intern Minister leading.
Religious Education
This Sunday's Thanksgiving worship service will be for all ages. As usual, our Nursery and Pre-K class will be open for any children who would be more comfortable there.

Join us in Room 3 for a gathering of those interested and involved in social justice.

If you are interested in what's happening through the UCE Social Justice Council and want to discover where your passions and interests are needed, join us for an interactive reflection on our efforts toward creating a more just world. All are welcome!
"Public Goods, Externalities & the Common Fields Problem"
Do capitalist economies frequently overlook externalities and could often benefit from more regulation? Do socialist economies frequently overlook human nature and could benefit from paying more attention to incentives? What happens when the government run not by saints, but often by those who channel the coercive powers of the state for their selfish benefit? How do we limit crony capitalism? When no one owns the fish in the ocean, many species were driven or nearly driven to extinction. How should we confer property rights, without underregulating? Facilitated by Gordon Mallett & Scot Campbell
