“Bumps in the Road” is the title of the talk at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 4, at Unity of Whidbey, 5671 Crawford Road.

Autumn, when a misstep can mean a muddy shoe, brings to mind all manner of possible setbacks and pitfalls. When we reap the fruits of our less-than-enlightened choices, what kinds of responses are available to us? What stance, what attitude, can best serve us, our fellow humans, and our Creator, in the face of this life’s inevitable obstructions or disappointments?

There is a joy to be obtained even in lessons learned — a message from speaker and songwriter Doug Benecke, with music by Benecke and friends. Donna Vanderheiden will be platform assistant. All are welcome. Visit Unity’s website: www.unityofwhidbeyisland.org for more information.
