September 3 – Our lives are not smooth sailing -- Do you remember what you were doing on August 15th? What were you worried about or thinking about?

September 10 – GRANDPARENTS DAY  --  Penny will moderate as we share memories of our family history. 

September 17 – POLITICS, RELIGION AND DACA -- UU Rev. Jon Dobrer provides us with food for thought today.  Our “wonderful” President Trump reaches out to touch us.  Penny Hendricks will moderate. 

September 24 – Voter suppression! Election Fraud—yes, Voter Fraud----No -- Greg Palast tells Paul Jay that in order to rig and steal elections today, Jim Crow has gone into cyber-space.  Chuck Hendricks brings this program from “The Real News Network” (TRNN). 

October 1 – POTLUCK AND GENERAL MEETING  This will be a meeting of the fellowship when we can bring up any business that needs our approval.  Bring something to share for brunch.
