Great Decisions

The BAUUC Speaker and Events Team is busy putting together the 2024 Great Decisions study-discussion program. In past years we have brought in a keynote speaker and speakers on some of the topics covered in Great Decisions. Because of the Pandemic, participant turnout for the guest speakers has not been good over the past several years. Because of this we are considering not bringing in speakers on Monday nights this year.

Be mindful that every discussion session is preceded by a presentation prepared by New York’s Foreign Policy Association. These are very thorough and usually cover everything a guest speaker would cover.

This year our discussion groups begin Thursday, February 8 at 10:00 am, 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm. The discussions run for eight weeks.

Registration and booklet distribution will be held on Thursday, February 1 at 10:00am, 2:00 pm, and 7:00 pm at Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Church located at 17503 El Camino Real in the Cockrell Fellowship Hall.

Please respond to [email protected] let us know if you will participate this year and indicate which session you would like to join. (10:00am, 2:00pm or 7:00pm)

The fee for Great Decisions is $40.00 per participant or $60.00 per couple if sharing a booklet.

Sunday Service - Transfiguration: Resurrection for Skeptics - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas

As individuals and as organizations we are always in the process of change and rebirth. That change can be slow or it can come upon us suddenly, but there is no stasis. So often we are told who we are and who we are allowed to be. The pain of shedding those old selves is real, but necessary to thrive and become the truest versions of ourselves.

Sunday Service - All Church Service - Guest Speaker: Gerry Carr Faith

There was a time when I dismissed the word faith because it was too religious, it reminded me of the church I left behind.  The truth is I’m not sure the word was really used that much in the Episcopal Church.  Let’s explore the concept of faith and what it can mean to Unitarian Universalists.
