In "Voices

thoughts on worship and fellowship, explain the goals of religious
education, explore the historic roots of our religion, and celebrate the
spirit of social justice that inspires our faith.
Up-Coming Services at UUCGT
Sunday, May 18 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at
10:00 AM
(We move to our summer schedule—one service only at 10 AM.)
“Covenant: ‘Cross my
Heart...’“
Rev. Chip; Vocal Ensemble;
UU Orchestra
Is a covenant different from a promise? Do either have the strength
to compel moral action?
New Member Sunday
UUCGT Annual Meeting following the service
Sunday, May 25 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at
10:00 AM
“Returning Veterans”
John Schneider
Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan need radically
different care than veterans of previous wars. What is necessary and how
can we help?
Sunday, June 1 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at
10:00 AM
"Native Americans,
Treaties and Spirit"
Helen Tanner
Helen Tanner, Senior Research Fellow at Chicago’s Newberry Library,
whose Atlas of Great Lakes Indian History has been called “a quantum
leap forward in the study and understanding of Indian history,” will
speak on “the blessings of balance—an Indian viewpoint.” Dr. Tanner is a
recognized authority on Indian treaties and has often testified in cases
presented before the Indian Claims Commission. She also serves as a
historical consultant in other cases of tribal litigation. It wasn’t
until after the Civil War that Northern Michigan Indians began to be
affected by increasing numbers of white settlers. Adverse effects of the
influx of whites in the mid-1800s and their repercussions exist today.
You are invited to remain after the service for a discussion of her
topic.
