KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The service at the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County (UUCLC) on Sunday, Aug. 24, is entitled, “God and a Fish – A True Story.”
The service begins at 11 a.m. at the church, located at 3810 Main S. in Kelseyville.
Guests are welcome.
The service will be presented by UUCLC member Peter Windrem, who is the chairperson of the Chi Council for the Clear Lake Hitch.
Windrem will deliver a sermon that gives information on the hitch and discusses the religious dimensions of saving the hitch.
The hitch, an ancient, native fish of Clear Lake, is threatened with extinction.
Local government, tribes, community organizations and individuals have organized to save the hitch.
Recently, the California Fish and Game Commission classified the hitch as a species threatened with extinction.
Using humor and facts, Windrem will show the connection between the issues facing the hitch and the larger issue of protecting the interconnected web of life.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lay preacher Alethea Eason of Cobb will deliver her sermon, “Jesus and the Canaanite Woman,” on Sunday, Aug. 17, at 10 a.m., at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Lakeport.
“God's love spills over racial identity and cultural boundaries,” said Eason. “God does not abandon the world, even when people abandon Divine Love by believing their group is ‘in’ and people who are different ‘less than’.”
Eason’s sermon asks, “Why does Jesus appear like a jerk when addressing the Canaanite woman in the Gospel of Matthew? Taking what he says at face value, the casual reader might think he is espousing the racial prejudice of the time. But can this scene be interpreted differently … that there is no hierarchy of social class, racial or national identity in which God metes out love?”
Eason is an author and educator. Her published novels include “Hungry,” “Starved” and “Heron's Path.” She is the language arts specialist at Minnie Cannon Elementary School in Middletown.

St. John’s Episcopal Church is located at 1190 N. Forbes, Lakeport. Social hour follows the 10 a.m. service.
