Sun. May 8: Dr. Schulman will return and his sermon will be "Religious Agnosticism." Religion is confusing.
In youth we were taught certain things, some of which weren't true. The whole idea of intellectual commitment requires a
constant rethinking. We want to understand our religion and make it part of living. So what can we believe? Science, especially
from Sir Isaac Newton, overturned much of our belief and people began to doubt. Agnosticism is usually thought of as
semi-atheism but that isn't so. Doubt is a position of strength, in religion as in science. Let's look at how agnosticism helps us
with the religious life.
Sun. May 22: Our program is entitled "The Celebration of Life."
Instead of having one main speaker, we'll all participate as a group or as individuals. There will be congregational singing, the
reading of poems and short readings, solos, and duets dealing with upbeat, positive, or perhaps humorous subjects in
celebrating life. Bring a poem or reading to share, or plan to bring your guitar and sing a solo, duet, or trio.
Annual Meeting
Sun. May 1st: The annual business meeting to establish the budget and elect officers
will be held at 10:30 at the home of Paul and Joan Culp in Elkins Lake. All members and friends

will follow the meeting.
