By gaining a better understanding of our responsibility to conservation, protection, and preserving of our natural resources, we can learn how accepting the call to stewardship has a direct interconnection to the community, including economic stability and viability for today and future generations.
In addition, gain a better understanding of Storm Water (including some mandates), local programs, and how important it is to become involved and answer the call to be good stewards including the interconnections of our actions on the environment, community and neighbors.
Key areas to be covered include:

Storm Water Management in our community (explain the requirements of the EPA Storm Water Permit)
Earth Day, Arbor Day, and Soil Stewardship Week – and the Annual Earth Stewardship Celebration (litter clean ups, tree plantings, green infrastructure, beautification recycling, energy conservation

Dr. Walter Kania -- "The Jesus Mystery!"
2021-07-11 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service- 10:30 a.m.
Speaker: Dr. Walter Kania
Leader: Bambi Gordon
Topic: “The Jesus Mystery!”
As a UU member you may have left concerns about Jesus a long time ago. You may have even rejected traditional Christianity and become a UU member because of the problems that you had with the person of Jesus and the promotion of false teachings about Jesus in the Christian religion beliefs and practices. After being in and speaking as a guest in 3 different. UU churches (Bellville, Cleveland, and Naples) I can honestly say that you don’t hear any conversation about the person or the name Jesus in those 3 places. And that is understandable. If, however, you are A Course In Miracles follower who is also a UU member you have to become clear about the beliefs and teachings of The Buddha, the Hindus, and Jesus and the commonalities that exist with regard to the genuine teachings of each Spiritual Path. You may be very surprised about who this Real Jesus is that is unknown to today’s traditional Christians.

Speaker: Mark Sebastian Jordan
Leader: Brian Moore
Title: “Nature vs. Nurture: New Perspectives in the Ceely Rose Murders”
Topic: Mark Sebastian Jordan updates his latest research in the Ceely Rose murder cases to coincide with the publication of his book from The History Press. New finds include Ceely Rose’s relationship to another murderer, executed in Ohio during the 1920’s which begs the question: Is this kind of madness innate or something caused by dysfunctional family/society?
Bio: Mark Sebastian Jordan has been an active presence on the Ohio arts scene for over thirty years as a writer, actor, director, playwright, and improv comedian. His Malabar Trilogy of historical dramas was featured in sell-out performances for a decade at Malabar Farm State Park.
Mark is a writer with numerous publication credits and awards, and works as a freelance journalist for publications all over the world.

Mark describes himself as a refugee of the corporate business world, where he spent a decade in packaging purchasing. Finding himself compulsively writing and creating to escape the unfulfilling day job, he fled when a corporate buyout ended his position. Since then, he has only worked jobs that offer personal fulfillment and creativity. Starting in 2007, Mark began publicly sharing his work as a poet and storyteller and since then has performed all over Ohio.

Cara Mia -- "Solstice Solace"
2021-06-13 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.

Speaker: Cara Mia
Leader: Hayley Young
Title: “Solstice Solace”
Topic: The Wheel of Fortune card in the Tarot, “Jera” from the Elder Futhark runic alphabet, the Solar Wheel of the Year, all are symbolic of the cycle of time, the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. At the Summer Solstice on June 20, the sun is at its height, the peak of daylight hours and warmth here in the Northern Hemisphere. But in each moment we are aware of the full circle: in the Southern Hemisphere, winter solstice approaches. As we are entering our longest days, the other side of the planet readies for its longest nights.

In light there is also darkness. In darkness, there is also light. This is the weight and promise of the Wheel. As it turns and we move up, we know there will come a time when we move back downward. When we are down, we can rely on the fact of an eventual return to the top. And so the Wheel turns….
