SUMMARY:Vancouver Unitarians Congregational Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Board is inviting all members of Vancouver Unitarians to attend a congregational retreat on Saturday\, 9 March. We are very much looking forward to conferring with all of you on the strategic directions we\, as a congregation\, should pursue. Our theme is “Where are We Going?” \nAfter an opening song\, there will be icebreaker activities\, a presentation by the Board on our current state of affairs\, and then small group discussions.  The results of those discussions will be brought back to the whole group.  Then we will close the afternoon session with an outline of next steps as well as some announcements. \nThere will be a catered dinner starting at about 5:30 pm\, by donation. It will be followed at 6:15 pm by a coffee house organized by the youth – an opportunity to let our hair down and have some fun.  It would be great if everyone can stay for both the afternoon and evening\, but that may not be practical. Childcare is available upon request.  \nPlease RSVP below by Tuesday\, Mar. 5. This will greatly help us with organizing the sessions\, food\, and childcare for the day. We are looking forward to March 9 and hope you will be able to join us.

SUMMARY:Film: Myanmar – The Forgotten Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The IPA and Social Justice Teams and will be co-sponsoring the screening of the film MYANMAR The Forgotten Revolution (2022) Director Katie Arnold\, Journeyman Pictures. \n\nMyanmar may be the most violent among the 50 wars tracked globally with an estimated death toll of at least 50\,000 since the 2021 military coup\, including at least 8\,000 civilians.  The conflict has displaced approximately 2.3 million people\, according to the United Nations\, yet it has received relatively muted international attention compared to the crises in Ukraine and Gaza.\n\nThis rare film gives witness to  a forgotten revolution born out of decades of brutal oppression. After viewing the film\, the audience is welcome to stay for a discussion. Popcorn and snacks will be provided.
