The Mystical Layer
By Rev. Dr. Edward Frost
Description: There are levels to reality and there are mystical experiences. Dr Frost will relate some of his own. He will make a case to leave room in your life for things not explicable by science and to explore what life can be beyond “reality”.
Rev. Dr. Edward Frost is the Senior Minister Emeritus of The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, where he served from 1989 to his retirement in 2005.
Following graduation from seminary, Dr. Frost received degrees from Boston University and Meadville/Lombard at the University of Chicago. He is the father of three adult children and four grandchildren.

Moreover, I am shifting the UUView publication timeframe. Getting the view together for Thursday publication is not aligned with my schedule at all. I am going to start producing the view on Sunday evenings for publication Monday mornings. Please have any submissions for the view in by the end of coffee hour (around 1pm) on Sundays.

Calling all UUs!
Brace yourself for a bit of a truth bomb...
Our beloved Fellowship doesn't run on pixie dust and well-wishes. I know, I know, it's shocking.
Several key people put in hours and hours each week to ensure Sunday Services keep happening, this newsletter goes out, the grounds are kept up during this time away from our sanctuary, and that we continue to hold a place in the hearts and
minds of our community. You know who they are -- Mike, Gene, Becky, Sandi, Donn, Warren, Me (Shalimar), the Mearas...
But we need more help. We want to take time away, but we can't without letting our whole fellowship down. Please,
consider giving the gift of your time and talents. Training is provided, and Covid precautions are in place.
Right now we have immediate need of volunteers in these critical areas:
- Flowers for the sanctuary each Sunday
- Service leaders
- Storytime readers
- Musical Guests
- Leaders for contemplative dialog and spirituality discussions
- RE Course facilitators
- Social Media managers and relief UU View editors
Remember - Love is the spirit of this fellowship, and community is its goal. Our great covenant absolutely includes service. Reach out today to help one another!

Your suggestion will be reviewed and added.
First, is a couple music selection from Shalimar -
These are some of my favorite jams from African artists...
This is a quintessential morning song for me. Perfect for sipping coffee and reading headlines... or remembering the feeling of home. It's jazzy and introspective..
Next is a track that haunts me (in the best way). I was introduced to it on a compilation called "Africa and the Blues" that really blew my mind the first play through. This track is groovin' but unassuming and though it has plenty of twang, it's likely to have your hips swaying before long.
This next jam is pure confectionary. The delightful, beat-driven, funky bass line, two-stepping, classic with some English lyrics is likely to get stuck in your head.
