FCUCC Forum & Pentecost Reminder

Remember to wear red for Pentecost, the church's birthday.

This Sunday, May 15 at 9:00: On Being an Atheist – Dr. Don Emon who has presented at our Forum several times in the recent past, has been an atheist all of his adult life. He will describe the things that have happened to him that has led him to the conclusion that there is, in fact, no loving, caring, all-powerful God. He has written a poem titled God of Love? And will share it with us. Don often feels like he is in the minority and that it requires some amount of courage to speak up when religion is discussed. An important part of his talk is to listen to, and respond to, comments from the audience. Don has been retired from the U.S. Department of Energy since 1991. Extremely active in the community, he has been President of Compassion and Choices of the Western Carolinas for 15 years. Very active in area speaking circles, he often serves as discussion leader for various Unitarian – Universalist churches. He has over 10 years volunteer experience as an intake worker for IAM, Interfaith Assistance Ministry…. Don has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Science and English and two Master's degrees.
