What Could Be Better?
We are always headed toward change of one kind or another. 
Sometimes we have some choice in things that will change, and
in order to make good choices it helps to reflect on what is
worth changing and what is worth hanging on to.
Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee is seeking input from congregants.
We are currently compiling a list of potential board members
and leaders in general. We are seeking individuals who place
importance on principles and respect for policies and
procedures. Candidates should  have a mature perspective and
vision for our congregational community, placing the welfare of
the congregation as a whole in high esteem.
After service please feel free to speak with: Reed Olszack,
Chairperson, Maria Bishop, Susan Hangge, Selva Joseph,
Roxanne Pickens or Bill Turner.

FAITH OUT! FILM SERIES
Sunday, March 27 • 2:00 pm
JERUSALEM IS PROUD TO
PRESENT
As Miami Beach prepares to
celebrate Pride within a free, open
and affirming environment, this
documentary follows the effort to
stage the 2006 World Pride
celebration and march in
Jerusalem. Meeting with sharp
opposition from Jewish, Muslim,
and Christian religious leaders,
advocates faced accusations of
"homo-sexualizing the Middle
East," as well as serious threats of
violence, eventually coming up
against a vast outnumbering of
those who opposed even the most
quiet and tasteful symbol of equal
rights. The Wolfsonian–FIU
Auditorium — 1001 Washington
Ave, Miami Beach
