Larry Perkinson, a BCSC Employee and Student Assistance
Director, has four daughters, Julie - an understanding wife, and two
granddaughters. He started as a middle school English teacher in
1975. In 1996, he transitioned into the current teaching position
which allows him to work with students, families, and the
community to develop an understanding of obstacles related
to student learning, relationships, and safety and to
seek opportunities to enhance supports in those areas. He also
coached girls track for 10 years and wrestling for 30. He and his
family attend the Azalia Friends Church.Larry will give a program titled: “Michelangelo, Tomato Soup and a Coke.” He will tell us about all the great things young people in our community are doing, as well as the challenges that young people face in the world today. |

Reverend Dennis McCarty will lead the first of two midsummer services with “Covenants: Once More with Feeling.” Different religions use the term, “covenant,” to
mean different things. Here at the Congregation of Columbus, we have
our Behavioral Covenants, Covenant Groups, some committees have
covenants as well, and our Seven Principles are expressed in
covenantal terms. So what is all this “covenant” talk about--what do
all these covenants have in common--and why should religious
freethinkers be interested in covenants in the first place? |

Reverend Dennis McCarty will ponder, “Is Science
Reasonable?” On the 74th anniversary of the first atomic bomb test,
it’s appropriate to ask, “What is science, anyway, and does it make
our lives better or worse?” Is science really a reasonable, rational
process, or does it simply empower the most destructive aspects of
human nature? Can science and religion ever be reconciled? Join Rev.
Dennis in tossing around these complex questions. |

The service will be "Reflections on World Peace" by
Gene Maresca.
Either you're for Peace or you're not, somebody recently said. Is it
really that simple ? Gene sang Peter, Paul and Mary and Bob Dylan
songs in college, then went to Viet Nam, so he has struggled with
this from both sides, a struggle which continues to this day. |

Juana Watson will
discuss
the connection between immigration and helping the people to become
self-sufficient in their own communities in Mexico. Juana has
traveled to Mexico with multiple humanitarian groups. She is
working hard to bring as many humanitarian groups to the area as
possible. Her goal is to bring groups that can teach skills to the
people in Mexico. A current visiting group is teaching on how to
make banana, pumpkin and other breads to sell. The IU School of Art
is coming to Hidalgo sometime in the fall to teach on how to make
pottery and to build an oven |

Philip Gulley, bestselling author and Quaker Pastor from
Danville Indiana, will be the guest speaker. Tim Grimm will be
coordinating the music for that Sunday with Phil. |
 Sunday
Sept 5, 2010 10 AM Our
topic will be “What’s a Church For, Anyway?” As a way of approaching
this thought,
Reverend Dennis McCarty
will kick off our “UUCCI-Max
Theatre” film-and-sermon series, by talking about M. Night Shayamalan’s classic 1999 thriller, “The Sixth Sense.” After all,
isn’t religion a kind of “sixth sense?” What might church have to do
with a little boy who “sees dead people?” This movie offers a
surprising, though unintentional, insight. |
