Dar Gareau Levy “A Message of Love.”
Jul 10 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

In a world where those who are different are still bullied, still made to feel less than the rest, where many Transgender Youth still feel that suicide is the only option they have to escape that hurt and ridicule, we of the Unitarian-Universalist faith continue to stand on the side of love and confirm the inherent worth and dignity of all. In the shadow of the Orlando shootings, and as Victoria wraps up it’s Pride Week, please join us as we take a closer look at what it’s like to be queer, and celebrate how our UU mes-
sage of love and radical acceptance can change the world.

Dar is a member at First Unitarian Church of Victoria today is Pride Sunday and the Pride Parade!

Peter Scales “Music and Spirituality”
Jul 17 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

If you have no music in your soul then you are not to be trusted.  So wrote Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice.  Music is an important element of worship in UU and other religious services.  Why is that?  What do we get from making music together?

Amanda Tarling “Ceremonies; Marking the moments that matter” and Peter’s Lay Chaplain Retirement Ceremony.
Jul 31 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

How do we make every day celebrations meaningful again? Our culture has seemly forgotten the necessity of honouring transitions through all stages of our lives. Come and hear how we can create ceremonies that resonate be it for a birthday or retirement, baby shower or coming of age. Please also come to acknowledge the 8 years of work that Peter has done for Capital in his role of Lay Chaplain.

Ben Dolf “The Time Has Come; So Let Us Plant an Apple Tree”
Aug 14 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

That is the translated title of a wonderful book by the German scientist, writer and TV personality Hoimar von Ditfurth. He wrote a number of much discussed books on science, ecology and peace. Oddly, his most influential book has not been translated into English. It talks about our place on this earth, our seeming inability to take care of it and about coming to terms with its destruction, without falling prey to inaction and fatalism. Ben will talk about the subtle messages of this author and the role this book has played in his attempt to come to terms with a world that is not behaving as it should.
