The CUCC Forum for September will be led by The ONA Task Force. Forum meets from 9:15am - 10:15am, in the Vaughan Fellowship Hall.
September 14: Tracy Hollister will lead a presentation and discussion on marriage equality. This is a great opportunity to learn why this issue matters; the status of the efforts to overturn Amendment One, and what you can do to help foster acceptance of LGBT marriage in North Carolina.
September 21: Jonah Pierce, Charge Nurse at UNC’s Infectious Diseases Clinic, will be giving us stories from the personal side of HIV/AIDS: How long are people surviving? Are people getting the medications they need? What about those who are sick and who are not getting the support of family or friends?

September 28: Dr. Charles van der Horst, physician for HIV/AIDS patients at UNC’s Infectious Diseases Clinic, and strong advocate for Medicaid expansion, will be joining us to talk about the impact on patients resulting from the continued erosion of medical benefits for his patients.

West Raleigh Presbyterian Church – Fall Art Exhibition
You’re invited to submit artwork: The Circle of Life is the theme of West Raleigh Presbyterian Church’s fall exhibition in the Voice of the Spirit Gallery. This theme is rich with possibilities for interpretations in visual and literary arts.
There are many references in the Bible to this circle/cycle from birth to death. Sometimes it is the changing of the seasons: For everything there is a season… (Ecc. 3:1). Sometimes it signifies maturing as in 1 Cor. 13:1: When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.
What do these words mean to you? How could you interpret it in paint, clay, jewelry, or other art media? Maybe you are not inclined to think about this topic as visual art, but would to write a poem or short story. We would be happy to display your written work in the gallery and/or post it on our arts website.
All works should be submitted to Room 103 on Sunday, September 7 or 14 after church. If you have questions please contact Barbara Carlson at jerrybarbara333@gmail.com.
