The Rev. Dr. Dan Rosemergy, GNUUC Minister
“Bringing Love to Life’”
We will join with many UU congregations across the country in celebrating “Valentine’s Day Re-imagined: National Standing on the Side of Love Day.” Dan will share some highlights of the celebration and bring us up-to-date on the UUA Campaign: “Standing on the Side of Love”. He will cite the strengths but also the concerns about the campaign and comment on the implications of “standing on the side of love” in our lives and society today. Finally he will reflect on the thought by Lisa Friedman, given in a recent sermon, that love is a choice and that once we make that choice we must “also come to terms with where that choice leads us.”
Service Coordinator: Thena Berry
Greeters: Marion Bogen, Michelle Fugate, Bob Niemi, Denise O’Briant

We are pleased to announce that the Singers of United Lands (S.O.U.L.) will be visiting Nashville and GNUUC again this year (for the fourth time) and will be presenting a full concert here at GNUUC on Monday, February 22, beginning at 7:30pm.
The Group whose mission is to “develop international and cultural relationships through vocal music from around the world” includes four wonderful singers from Estonia (Teele), Haiti (Makly), Polynesia (Steve) and Venezuela (Zuleika). GNUUC will again provide host families for the group and assist with their Nashville schedule.
S.O.U.L. will have a busy schedule visiting and performing and working with area schools during their stay and tentatively plan to arrive in Nashville on February 17th. They will participate in our Worship Service on Sunday, February 21. We encourage you to plan to attend both the service and the concert. Please invite family, friends, and neighbors to this wonderful evening of music. The group sings songs/plays instruments from their native lands and shares their stories during the concert. It is an amazing evening!

Mark your calendars now to participate in the All-Church Family Retreat at Natchez Trace State Park the weekend of April 16-18, 2010. Many of us remember what a great time everyone had at the last retreat a few years ago at this park. Natchez Trace State Park is located 35 miles east of Jackson off of Interstate 40 between Nashville and Memphis.
The Program Committee is forming now to plan the weekend. See Margaret Wright, Kristin Reveal, or Mary Hinton, if you are interested in helping to plan the theme of the retreat, activities, and meals.
