Support the Camp de Benneville Pines Fire Relief Fund!

Camp de Benneville Pines survived a recent fire but suffered damage and needs your help. Through a lot of hard work, camp was closed only four weeks and is happy to announce that they are back on schedule, but full recovery will require your generous donation.

You can help! Donate much needed money, come provide manual labor and come to Camp
The camp is in need of both financial support and manual support. They need help securing the buildings and setting up erosion control before the rainy season sets in. They also greatly need financial support to help with repairs, loss of income, and prevention of further damage. And finally they need bookings. Read more and make a donation at http://www.uucamp.org.

Michael Eselun at 10am UUFSD service 8/2/15

Noted interfaith oncology chaplain Michael Eselun will be speaking at the 10am service at UUFSD on Sunday, August 2nd, 2015. Don't miss this inspiring speaker! 
Watch his 2014 TEDx Encinitas talk on the importance of magic.
Michael Eselun, a certified interfaith chaplain, serves as the chaplain for the Simms-Mann/UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology. He has worked extensively in oncology, hospice, palliative care and with acute psychiatric patients. He's been invited countless times to speak to students, doctors, nurses, social workers, and faith communities about his work as a chaplain, on death and dying and the spiritual dimension of the cancer experience. 
Michael is also the co-founder and chair of a non-profit, volunteer anti-homophobia speakers bureau called GLIDE, Gays and Lesbians Initiating Dialogue for Equality. Over the last 20-plus years, Michael and his fellow speakers have spoken to an audience of well over 150,000 students, teachers, and other various groups and agencies in the LA area about homophobia. GLIDE is the go-to resource for LA Unified Schools as well as for the Simon Wiesenthal Center/Museum of Tolerance. As an integral part of the museum's Tools for Tolerance program, Michael has addressed countless groups of students, educators, administrators, law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and corporate management groups about the impact of homophobia on our culture. He sees both pursuits as closely related in that both fields have to do with creating safe spaces for people to fully tell their truths and be received with respect.

Join us for an evening of music with Indiana singer-songwriter-poet, Carrie Newcomer! SUUN (San Diego UU Network) is co-sponsoring this concert with UUFSD in Solana Beach on February 13, 2016 at 7:30 PM in Founders Hall. 
Carrie has been described as "a soaring songstress" by Billboard Magazine, a "prairie mystic" by the Boston Globe, and Rolling Stone wrote that she "asks all the right questions." In the 2009 and 2011, Newcomer toured India as a cultural ambassador for the American Embassy. In 2011, she released her interfaith collaborative benefit album "Everything is Everywhere" with world master of the Indian Sarod, Amjad Ali Khan. A recent PBS interview provides a glimpse of her talent and an insight into why she has been described as "a prominent voice for progressive spirituality, social justice, and interfaith dialogue.
