So what kind of God does that leave?
The sermon is delivered by the Reverend Bonnie Vegiard.

"Pursuit of Happiness"
When an unhappy American wrote his government that it was failing to make him happy, Benjamin Franklin is reported having written back, "The constitution only gives you the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself." What is a reasonable expectation of government when it comes to making us happy? Or protecting us from others? Or from ourselves?
This Tuesday, we get to exercise our sacred democratic process.
Today's sermon is delivered by the Reverend Dr. Daniel O'Connell.

"The Paradox of Choice"
Over the next couple of weeks we will be choosing a future for our building. Basically, we have four choices. If only the rest of our lives were so easy. It turns out much of modern production from food to cars to 401(k) plans is designed to give us more choice, which leads to less satisfaction. We'll look at ways to deal with this.
