Questions of immortality, power
Immortality? Power? Rebellion? On this Halloween Sunday, the service for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island will consider some spiritual issues raised by the current popularity of the vampire myth.
The service is at 10 a.m., and all are welcome. Values-based children’s religious exploration classes and childcare will be provided.
UUCWI is at 20103 Highway 525. Check www.whidbey.com/uucwi for more information.
Eternal punishment is the topic on Sunday
Through readings from the Bible and “Science and Health,” the Christian Science service on Sunday, Oct. 31, will explore the concepts of everlasting punishment and sin.
The belief that God’s children include sinners separates one from spirit, the truth that Christ Jesus taught. The service will explore “Probation After Death” — how you can shift perspective and bring spirit into your life and brighten the pathway for yourself and others.
The service begins at 10:30 a.m. at 15910 Highway 525 (just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road). Everyone is welcome.
Pastor Wedeking gives the SWCC lesson
What can we learn from early Christian churches? Pastor Ron Wedeking continues the series Sunday morning at South Whidbey Community Church on early churches of the New Testament, with the sermon, “Pergamum,” based on Revelation 2:12-17.
Morning worship begins at 10, and is preceded by an adult learning forum at 9 a.m., with Stan Walker’s study into Paul’s Letter to the Church at Ephesus and Art Angst’s study into the Gospel of Luke.
At 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 6, there will be a breakfast at the Deer Lagoon Grange, with Bob Stallman speaking on “Wisdom and the Way of Salvation.”
For more information, call 221-1220.
Forum looks at early Christianity
The next adult forum at St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods Episcopal Church in Freeland is “The Development of Church Offices.”
The earliest Christian churches were charismatic communities, in which there was no one in charge, but the entire community ministered to each other through “gifts” (charismata) believed to have been given by the Holy Spirit.
The forum starts at 9:15 a.m. Sunday; Ted Brookes will present.
