Upcoming Events
Meet Our Consulting Minister, Rev. Dr. Linda Hansen!![]() Come meet and talk with Linda! She will be at Espresso Love in downtown Mukwonago on Wednesdays or Thursdays at 10:00 am (alternating months, March is Thursdays). This is a wonderful time to enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or other delicious beverage and visit with Linda and others in a casual, relaxed setting. If you aren't able to attend during the day, members host Tea with the Minister at their homes during the evenings on various dates. Adult RE starts March 7th Linda will have office hours on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10 am - 2 pm. Feel free to stop and visit her or call her at the office at 262-363-5686. The church office is located at 201 Main St. in Mukwonago. We are located in the back of the building. Linda can also be reached at other times by sending her an email at minister@uumuk.org. News for Buddhist UUsThe Buddhist Group has concluded the Dalai Lama book we had been working from and has put aside the Hsuan Hua book without finishing it for the time being. This is a time for a new start and the possibility of bringing new people into the group who find they wish to learn what Buddhist thought may offer to their lives. We have agreed together to make use of texts available in online format so that people do not have to deal with the purchase of or sharing of actual physical books, and see how we like that approach. For the next six meetings, February 17 through May 5, we will be using a book that all can read by reaching the same website. People can print it out if they choose, or just read it from the screen, or of course join the discussion without having read, and even read and stay home rather than meet with us. People can also print the text for others if they have no internet access. The text for this first week is directly found by following this link- buddhanet.net/4noble3.htm and this brings you to the introduction to the book. Everyone is encouraged to get into the site itself- going indirectly to the text. This would be instead going to buddhanet.net without the specific suffix that takes you to the page, and poking around. How to reach the book as a whole is done by this series: buddha.net home page, click on link in the bar beside home that says 'Buddhist Studies', drop down and click on 'Buddhist Teaching', from the list that opens in the next page choose 'Four Noble Truths'. You will see that the book is in six sections, and the first is three chapters long, including the preface and introduction. That is where we are beginning. We will spend March 3rd on the next larger section written about the First Noble Truth. Anyone who does not see this until after the meeting tomorrow, please join us regardless as the first book section is very short and catching up should not be at all difficult. We will also talk about whatever else we find available by investigations on buddhanet and see what this leads us to after we complete this first book later in the spring. If you have questions, please send them to buddha@uumuk.org. As ever, welcome is extended to anyone and it is not required that reading be done in advance. Namaste. Spring Equinox Day Dancing LightlyDances of Universal Peace and other experiences to celebrate Spring's arrival in the body and soul. ANNUAL CHURCH AUCTIONThe church auction is fast approaching; the warm days of April will soon be here. So it is once again time to start thinking of what to donate for the auction. Will it be tree trimming or that hand knit scarf? Or maybe a tea party in the garden or a pizza party in the theater. Dream a little dream and see where it takes you and then donate it to the auction. Church ClosingsDuring severe weather you can go to Channel 12, WISN for church closings. You can also go to wisn.com to view closings online. In addition, the church office telephone answering machine will have an updated message regarding closings, the number is 363-5686. Meetings that take place at member's homes or for committees may be cancelled, but not shown on WISN or on the office phone. Please call the host/hostess if in doubt. PotlucksPotluck meals will be on every 3rd Sunday, immediately after the service. Check the News & Events page for any special schedule shifts.
