All Is True (2018) Starring Kenneth Branagh as Shakespeare and Judi Dench as his wife, this movie tells the fictional tale of the great playwright’s retirement years back in Stratford. His wife Anne Hathaway thinks of him as a stranger because he has neglected his family for so long, with his career in London. Can he finally come to terms with the death of his only son and the talent of the daughter he barely knows? Also starring Ian McKellan as the Earl of Southhampton, Shakespeare’s patron, who thinks himself better than the common Will. Wonderful!!! Read more, see the trailer...
Our latest exhibit, on the newly painted back wall of Friendship Hall, features award winning artist Pat Yanulis.
Pat's exhibit showcases Encaustic Art which is made from beeswax and damar resin and is melted and worked with heat tools. There is layering and burnishing and polishing to create an interesting archival piece that will last for centuries. Pat participated in the 11th Annual Encaustic Conference in Provincetown, MA which featured a panoply of distinguished artists from around the world. She has a Bachelor of Arts of USF, was awarded the prestigious Elly Award for Art Educator for the year (2016) and has exhibited in many juried exhibitions. All the art is for sale and for the pleasure of looking. Men's Group Meeting:

This is an opportunity to get to know each other on a more personal level. It is a good forum to make and cement some male friendships. Hopefully you can come and participate in ways so that we can make a difference for ourselves and others. The most recent meeting was Saturday, November 2, at 1:30 - 3 pm in the Coffee House.

If you'd like to get a better idea of what Unitarian Universalism is and whether our way of responsibly searching for truth and meaning might be for you, this welcome written by our Minister Emeritus, Rev. Dr. John M. Higgins, gives a quick preview:
"Welcome to this place.
This is a place where no revealed truths are promoted and no scripture or human being accepted as infallible. It is a place for searching for truth, but we are believers.
We believe in intellectual freedom, we believe in justice, we believe in compassion, and for concern for each other and for the whole world. We believe in commitment to those ideals which make us active in the struggle for human dignity.
We are Unitarian Universalists."
