<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu;">I’ve heard that many of you are off on adventures this coming week. I hope you have a lot of fun, and wish you safe travels. And for those of you staying behind, or with differing spring break weeks, I am sorry our church schedule is so slim this week. We are a volunteer run organization and its amazing to see just how much get done every week--when we see a week where not many people are around. So let’s all take this as a reminder to be thankful all the many helping hands that make our community life rich and meaningful by the energy they give to it, to us. </span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu;">This week I continue on with our book on the 12 Steps to a Compassionate Life. I hope that if you are in town, you’ll come join me on Sunday! </span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu;">I also hope you’ve gotten a chance to get outside and enjoy some of the wonders of nature. The full moon has been stunning, and the migrating birds have brought many bald eagles and other fun water birds to Big Woods Lake. These things are always such a joy for me. May you have many moments of joy this week as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt;">The amount you pledge is completely up to you and your ability to give. We do not require any minimum amount. A “Fair Share” giving guide is printed on the back of your pledge sheet to assist you with determining what you might give. By becoming a Fair Share giver, you enable the UUSBHC to better translate your UU values into the actions of the congregation. This benefits not only you and your family, but the greater UU community as well. Remember, $81 of your pledge goes to meeting our denominational membership dues to the Unitarian Universalist Association and the Prairie Star District.</span></div>

<div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">
<span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt;">The pledge you make is for the July 2012-June 2013 program year. It is not necessary to make any payment until July 2012. If you wish to pay on your pledge early, make sure to indicate it is for the 2012-2011 year when making the payment. This will let us credit the correct pledge year. Monthly payment plans are also available should you chose to spread your payment out throughout the year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt;">Of course we welcome your free will offering, but pledging allows us to budget responsibly. By making a pledge we can easily track the amount given and budget according to what pledges will be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt;">Volunteering of your time is an essential and much appreciated gift to our society. However, being a member means contributing both your time and money. Both types of contributions are important to a healthy church community.</span></div>

You'll come away understanding how to more effectively “frame” your messages and impact social change. Whether we're writing a letter to the editor, speaking publicly, or just casually conversing with others on issues we care about, it can be hard to frame our message so others can hear it. Learn ways to bridge the gap of understanding around politically-charged issues and build community and relationships across differences of opinion or belief. The Social Justice Council is underwriting and bringing Rev. Karen Hering and her program to Iowa to help enhance the work of all our social justice programs and projects. </span></div>

<div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;">
<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">The War on Drugs was initiated in the 1970s in response to a perceived national problem of increased drug usage, particularly among the young. Since then, drug enforcement efforts have cost billions of dollars in federal, state, and local funds. In addition, the rapid increase in the number of individuals convicted for drug offenses and the length of their incarceration is primarily responsible for the fact that the United States has one of the highest per capita incarceration rates of all the nations of the world. Moreover this incarceration involves grossly disproportionate numbers of people of color. Finally, a number of studies seriously question the effectiveness of the War on Drugs in reducing the rates of drug addiction in our country. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">Our speaker served in law enforcement for 34 years, in the Maryland State Police and the Baltimore Police Department. During much of that time he served as a narcotics agent. His remarks should encourage us to reconsider what our country is doing to address the drug problem and will open a dialog on what new, more appropriate responses should be. </span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu;">It was a very productive trip. I enjoyed learning about Adaptive Leadership, and getting to know some new colleagues. This encouraged us to see leadership not so much as getting the maintenance jobs done that keep the institution going, but rather to look at the questions that emerge so that we can adapt and grow. Hopefully we can put this to good use as we engage in our Identity process. </span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu;">I also got up to New Hampshire. It was good to see my mother looking so healthy. And I also got to see my sister and her nieces. Just before I left, we got a lovely snow that blankets the hills and trees. It was so beautiful! I know that most of us are getting ready for winter to be over, but seeing the snow falling on that New Hampshire landscape reminded me of childhood winters visiting my grandparents. Warm memories. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 10pt;">In an effort to encourage growth, create community clarity, and enable a long-range visioning plan, the UUSBHC Board and Committee on Ministry have joined together to begin an in-depth process of defining our society’s identity. As part of this process, we are going to explore and discuss many topics that will engage the church community in helping to co-create an intentional identity for us as a congregation. We will kick off these discussions in this session by explaining more about what we want from these discussions and how they will be set up, as well as opening up a Q&A with participants.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-weight: bold;">March 26, 2012 at 7:00 PM University Room, Maucker Union</span></div>
<div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">Speaker: Major Neill Franklin, Executive Director, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP)</span></div>
<div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">Lecture followed by reaction panel of university and community experts.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;">
<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">The War on Drugs was initiated in the 1970s in response to a perceived national problem of increased drug usage, particularly among the young. Since then, drug enforcement efforts have cost billions of dollars in federal, state, and local funds. In addition, the rapid increase in the number of individuals convicted for drug offenses and the length of their incarceration is primarily responsible for the fact that the United States has one of the highest per capita incarceration rates of all the nations of the world. Moreover this incarceration involves grossly disproportionate numbers of people of color. Finally, a number of studies seriously question the effectiveness of the War on Drugs in reducing the rates of drug addiction in our country. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 8pt;"></span></div>
<div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;">
<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">Our speaker served in law enforcement for 34 years, in the Maryland State Police and the Baltimore Police Department. During much of that time he served as a narcotics agent. His remarks should encourage us to reconsider what our country is doing to address the drug problem and will open a dialog on what new, more appropriate responses should be. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">On Sunday, February 26th, the Canterbury Forum will host "</span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-weight: bold;">Torture: Ethics and Pragmatism", presented by Dr. Francis Degnin of UNI's Department of Philosophy and World Religions.</span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu;"> Throughout the 20th century, torture was condemned as a barbaric war crime, and those individuals, organizations, and nations who inflicted it were condemned by world opinion and punished. But in the last decade, torture has made a comeback, and now not only is condoned but celebrated in some quarters, by people who pride themselves on their defense of strict moral values. Can torture ever be ethically justified? Can it be pragmatically justified? Where does it come from in the human psyche? There is no one better qualified than Dr. Degnin, an authority on ethics, to lead us in an exploration of these issues.</span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu;">Exciting work has gotten underway with Board and the Committee on Ministry, as they look to lead us in </span><span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu; font-style: italic;">a series of conversations about identity</span><span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu;"> this winter/spring. I’m excited to hear your thoughts about our community and look forward to beginning to these conversations. What is central to who you see us? How do you talk about who we are to others? Would there be a better name for us, that we could use to make us seem welcoming? What brought you here and what keeps you coming back? . . . I looking forward to hearing your stories. So often I hear people talk about how they wish they could explain this place to their friends and family more easily. I think listening to each other talk about these things will help us all be clearer as we bring our faith out into the world, and in our own hearts. </span></div>

Your gifts of time and money are what make this place live. We have added staff, and continue to bring quality programs and services to the children, adults and elders alike. I hope you will increase your support to reflect our excitement in help you create an amazing progressive spiritual community. </span></div>

She lives just an hour’s drive north of Boston in New Hampshire. I will have my cell phone with me, and should be able to receive calls and emails, as I always do. There will be times during the conference that I will be unavailable, but I will return your calls as soon as possible. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">What is it? These groups provide an opportunity for community-building and spiritual exploration for their members. The groups serve both newcomers and “old-timers” in our congregation who may not yet have found a way to connect deeply. A typical group has about five to ten members guided by a facilitator, meets at least once a month, and creates and abides by a covenant or set of ground rules. The group meeting format includes a time for centering, an opening reading, a check-in, usually a discussion of a topic agreed on by members, thought-provoking questions, check-out and a closing. The kind of topics that groups explore are far-ranging and are usually tailored to the interests of the participants.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">On Sunday, February 26th, the Canterbury Forum will host "</span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-weight: bold;">Torture: Ethics and Pragmatism", presented by Dr. Francis Degnin of UNI's Department of Philosophy and World Religions.</span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu;"> Throughout the 20th century, torture was condemned as a barbaric war crime, and those individuals, organizations, and nations who inflicted it were condemned by world opinion and punished. But in the last decade, torture has made a comeback, and now not only is condoned but celebrated in some quarters, by people who pride themselves on their defense of strict moral values. Can torture ever be ethically justified? Can it be pragmatically justified? Where does it come from in the human psyche? There is no one better qualified than Dr. Degnin, an authority on ethics, to lead us in an exploration of these issues.</span></div>

So grab some food and settle into chairs so she can tell you a little bit about this year’s campaign!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">On Sunday, February 26th, the Canterbury Forum will host "</span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-weight: bold;">Torture: Ethics and Pragmatism", presented by Dr. Francis Degnin of UNI's Department of Philosophy and World Religions.</span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu;"> Throughout the 20th century, torture was condemned as a barbaric war crime, and those individuals, organizations, and nations who inflicted it were condemned by world opinion and punished. But in the last decade, torture has made a comeback, and now not only is condoned but celebrated in some quarters, by people who pride themselves on their defense of strict moral values. Can torture ever be ethically justified? Can it be pragmatically justified? Where does it come from in the human psyche? There is no one better qualified than Dr. Degnin, an authority on ethics, to lead us in an exploration of these issues.</span></div>

The doors will open at 6:30. The program is free and open to the public. I hope to see all of you there.</span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt;">Have you heard of CouchSurfing? Its an organization that is intentionally creating a global community using the web. Members each have a profile, and can offer to host people who are looking for a place to stay or “couch surf” . . . in other words, even if all you have to offer is a couch to sleep on, you can still offer it up to someone who is traveling through your town. And those traveling can check places they are going for a new friend to stay with, or even someone to give them tips for seeing the town. Like E-Bay, or other online communities, you are encouraged to leave feedback about each person you encounter on CouchSurfing. So anyone who comes to stay at my house can read what others who have stayed here have to say about me, and I can read what others have said about these guests. All of this is done just for fun--its not about money, its about creating a community. I have met some marvelous people this way. And, for me, its just a little spot in my world that works the way that I feel like the world “should” work. This community is like life in a small town--where if you don’t know someone, you know someone who can tell you about that person. Amazingly, there are CouchSurfers all over the world--from small towns in Nepal to big cities in Europe--you can find a bedroom, couch or a cup of coffee waiting you with a smile from a new friend. </span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt;">Well, for me, it is a fascinating approach in creating community out of our new global world in the best ways--people meeting and caring for other people, all for nothing but sense that its good to help other people, and make friends. Several years back, few people sat down and said, “wouldn’t it be nice if the world worked this way . . . . “ And then set about to make it happen. Amazingly, it is wildly successful. As we move into this new century, we all must pause and think about the communities that we belong to . . . how are they working, and how will they continue to work? This is true for church as much as any other group. What would you like an ideal religious community to be like? How should things work? Think about it, and let me know!</span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 12pt;">I’ve had a full day listening to the grief of two families, and enjoying the joy of a young couple on their wedding day. (See the Pastoral Update for the details). But my take-away from today is that life is short, and love is beautiful. Its a privilege to be with you, as you share the rich ways that your life is shaped by love. All I can say, by way of advice in the face of my experiences . . . is to do it as richly and deeply as you can muster. Its amazing to hear the stories of how it shapes and transforms people’s lives. </span></div>

The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Feel free to bring a vegan dish to share and your own table service and </span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-weight: bold;">join us at 6:00 p.m. for our monthly potluck before the 6:45 p.m. showing. </span><span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">(Please note we had the time of the potluck incorrect in last week’s newsletter . . . it is 6pm not 6:30pm)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">There will be community events outside as well as work done indoors. Phoenix will be hot, but you will be able to limit your exposure. GA housing is very close to the Phoenix Convention Center, and there are many food options within the Center.

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt;">Last Sunday, as we celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday, we concluded our sessions on being a creator as we explored how we can take the injustice and pain we experience in life and use it to look up, to feel inspired to build a better world for all. Although we shared these last week, we continue to invite you to</span><span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt;"> bring your stories of being moved by injustice--in words or pictures to place on our Sanctuary wall. </span><span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt;">We will keep those stories and art up for a while. As we shift our focus from being a creator to being a compassionate being, Dr. Martin Luther King’s journey was a great one to inspire us towards an amazing open compassion for all humankind. </span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt;">The interesting thing about compassion, is that it is a choice. It is a choice we make day after day, week after week. And like all things practiced, it gets easier with time. Our journey to explore compassion using Karen Armstrong’s </span><span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">Twelve Steps to Compassionate Living</span><span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt;">, will teach us that compassion is more, a lot more, than just deciding you are going to be. I’m really looking forward to exploring some of these ideas and tools with you . . . as together we Reconnect with our Creative, Compassionate Center. </span></div>

<span style="color: #5b0f00; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt;">Give someone you love a hug. Help somebody you don’t know very well. And if you can possible manage . . . consider making a snow angel. Who knows, you might just find a certain joy that only comes from snow angels!</span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma;">This begins the next subject in our theme for the year, that of compassion. It is possible for us to act without thinking of self-interest. This tendency lies within the heart of each of us. We can stamp out this instinct or cultivate it assiduously. Karen Armstrong is leading the way in asking all of us to join her in a Charter for Compassion.</span></div>

We had a nice return to Wednesday night activities with good food, good practices, and new company. Haven’t tried a Wednesday night yet? Come on out and give it a try. You don’t have to sing for your supper! Thursday night activities were thriving too. We had a meeting for the War on Drugs downstairs while the Buddhist Path met upstairs. And we had several new people at Buddhist Path too. While you are still setting your schedule, I hope you will pencil in some good times with friends in our community. </span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt;">This week, a lot of my colleagues have been posting blogs and commentary about what they like and don’t like about our faith . . . or perhaps, to say it with more nuance, what they find appealing and what they feel repels people from joining or sticking with the faith. I’d love to hear your thoughts. What keeps you coming? What is the hardest part about being a UU in our community? Haven’t come in a while, but still reading the newsletters . . . I’d love to know what keeps you at home. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Tahoma;">What happens after December? Will the UUSBHC continue to sponsor the family in some way? Although most of the family has now arrived in Waterloo, their journey is just getting started. The family members do not speak English, and most of them will not receive their work permits for several months. The NE Iowa Peace & Justice Center (</span><span style="color: #000099; font-family: Tahoma; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.neipjc.org/" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: inherit;">www.neipjc.org</a></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Tahoma;">) in Decorah will provide expense money for three months, however, additional support is needed in the local area. Join Sally Browne and Heather Flory on January 8 at 11:15am ET to discuss whether or not the UUSBHC would like to continue being involved with the family as a congregation. If so, in what ways would we like to help, and how might we use this as an opportunity to network with other churches and organizations in the local area? If we decide not to help the family as a congregation, there are still opportunities for those interested to help as individuals. </span></div>

Perhaps some of you are doing just that now. But whatever you are doing, as we prepare to enter into the new year, I hope you will take some time to do something that feels nourishing to you. This may or may not feel like cozying-up with a good book . . . . but you will know what it is. Perhaps taking some time to meditate, pray, or walk in the woods. Perhaps tea with a good friend. Perhaps making something you have meant to make this past year. Take this time as we begin the year to do what you can to start out feeling full, happy and content. This is a learned skill like any other, and there is nothing quite so satisfying as beginning something new with a sense of calm that comes from being prepared. Life is a spiritual journey as long as you accept the invitation to come along. . . . I hope you will!</span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I wish all of you much joy and happiness in the coming year! </span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With gratitude for a ministry with you . . . .</span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">See you in church!</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">~Eva</span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: red; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><img height="113px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/tXVM8ync5LmHU-qde7ferts7urIC7SSZ6xn4SqjaNNKgErb_BKxcinf-yjkcYfSKTCo2bJ7orZLifNR8Wb4zkE0gvRx-ch-I4RDVS86Zdb4DIV_Memc" width="105px;" /><br /> <div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

Will the UUSBHC continue to sponsor the family in some way? Although most of the family has now arrived in Waterloo, their journey is just getting started. The family members do not speak English, and most of them will not receive their work permits for several months. The NE Iowa Peace & Justice Center (</span><a href="http://www.neipjc.org/"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000099; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">www.neipjc.org</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #b45f06; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">) in Decorah will provide expense money for three months, however, additional support is needed in the local area. Join Sally Browne and Heather Flory on January 8 at 11:15am ET to discuss whether or not the UUSBHC would like to continue being involved with the family as a congregation. If so, in what ways would we like to help, and how might we use this as an opportunity to network with other churches and organizations in the local area? If we decide not to help the family as a congregation, there are still opportunities for those interested to help as individuals. </span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #b45f06; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #351c75; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #38761d; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Mitten Tree</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #38761d; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Social Action Committee and the children of our church have partnered up to gather mittens, hats and scarfs for the children of Khasi Hills. Please take an ornament off of the tree and return with a new hat, scarf or mittens for a youth or child and place your item under the tree. At the end of the holiday season, we will package up our gifts, along with messages from the children, and send it off to the Khasi Hills so our friends there can keep warm in their cooler months.

Here you can join with us for the first time, renew or upgrade your membership, answer the call to contribute to specific projects and appeals or make special donations.</span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are you already a Member of the UUCF? Great! Now is the time to renew your membership. Each and every year, the leadership team of the UUCF reviews the membership rolls and hopes that you will decide that the UUCF is important enough in your life to renew your membership.</span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The UUCF is a self-supporting and self-sustaining institution. The first and most important reason to stay connected to the UUCF is because we represent a liberal religious Christian presence in the Unitarian Universalist Association. We believe that Unitarian Universalism is broadened and deepened by our active presence and our faithful witness. We represent one of the few organization in the UUA that can claim an authentic theological position, and the only one that can claim a historical tradition that dates back to the beginning of our movement. We bring to one another spiritual support, meaningful worship, intellectual engagement, and serve as a powerful witness for liberal Christianity within our tradition as Unitarian Universalists.

Although the day was heavy with clouds, there was a small gap between the clouds and earth which allowed for the sun to peek through and light up the clouds with amazing colors. It is perfect way to send the day to bed. Solstice reminds us that even in these dark days, the sun is always there, and now slowly, ever so slowly is gaining strength. </span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For those of you who are having dark days during this holiday time, I wish you the courage to reach out with your heart, and seek these small promises of brighter days. Nothing stays the same, even pain and sorrow. For those of you have days of poignant memories that leave you nostalgic some moments and in tears the next, I wish you the strength to find gratitude in your heart for all those good times you had in your life. For those of you in the throes of busyness, not knowing which way is up and whether you will "make it", I wish you the peace that comes from knowing happiness is not in perfection, but in paying attention to all that is going well and right. For those of your with restless and impatient souls, unhappy with all sorts of small things that annoy you, I wish you some quietude. For those of you deep in contentment, and wish you many more days of the same. </span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A very Merry Christmas who will be traveling on this holiday . . .

We are not discounting memberships any longer, nor will we at G.A. So NOW is the time to join - save as much as $20 - and get the next issue of the Religious Humanism journal, now in production.

The first and most important reason to stay connected to the UUCF is because we represent a liberal religious Christian presence in the Unitarian Universalist Association. We believe that Unitarian Universalism is broadened and deepened by our active presence and our faithful witness. We represent one of the few organization in the UUA that can claim an authentic theological position, and the only one that can claim a historical tradition that dates back to the beginning of our movement. We bring to one another spiritual support, meaningful worship, intellectual engagement, and serve as a powerful witness for liberal Christianity within our tradition as Unitarian Universalists.</span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Visit this link to join </span><a href="about:blank"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000099; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><http://www.uuchristian.org/M_Join.html></span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="background-color: #efefef; color: #4c1130; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: #efefef; color: #4c1130; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Community Announcements</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #660000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate. And to those of you who don't, it begins this week on Tuesday night. I have some great memories of celebrating Hanukkah at church. I know this sounds funny--but there are some unique things to being raised UU. One of them is becoming comfortable with the idea that there are stories and lessons for us in any of the world's religions. I remember a Jewish man who was a member of our congregation growing up, who had no family. He would call us children around, and light the Menorah, and tell us a bit about Hanukkah. I learned that it was a holiday celebrating freedom to practice your religion. And the miracle that sometimes, despite the odds, things line up just right, and go your way. I also learned that the man standing before us lost all his family during the Hallocaust, and we were now his family. The best part was that we each got a shiny dollar coin or 50 cent piece each year. He'd pull them out of his pocket at the end of story, and place them warm, in our palms. He'd ask us never to forget. And I never have. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #660000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The world invites us, over and over, to touch each other's souls. This man dared to reach out, in spite of an obvious amount of pain, to connect with us children. May we each have such courage. </span><br />

If you can't make it tonight, you can bring things on Sunday. Or take some time to look through your house over the holidays--I'm sure they will still need plenty of things after they get an apartment in January. Think about setting up house--there are many, many things that help to make life work. What can you give?

At the end of the holiday season, we will package up our gifts, along with messages from the children, and send it off to the Khasi Hills so our friends there can keep warm in their cooler months. Help us fill the bottom of our tree with colorful cold weather items! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #660000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do you remember a time when you wish you could go to a church and not feel like you were uncomfortable, or unfairly judged, or just like you didn't belong? Do you remember a time sitting at home, thinking about how all your friends went to church, but you never had, and didn't really understand how it all works? All across the Cedar Valley, people are feeling like this. And like people everywhere, they are struggling with divorce, cancer, upset, job loss, difficult families, and confusing times. And the the holidays are so hard on people--we all think we are 'supposed' to be having a wonderful time, with a wonderful family. Will you do me a favor, and stop and think for a minute . . . do you know someone who might be in this category? Don't just keep reading, stop for a second and think! Ok. Got a name? Now do this. Give them a Christmas present. Ask them if they'd like to come to church with you. Tell them its ok if they say no, and that we aren't join to pressure them to feel they have to join. Just make it a cheerful, "thought you might want to try it out--its meant a lot to me"--kind of ask. I know that talking about religion can be awkward. But feeling alone is awkward too . . . or feeling out of place. Take a moment and give someone that gift--the gift of offering them the chance to experience something that is meaningful to you. Don't worry if they say 'yes' or 'no' . . . the real gift is in the asking. </span><br />

At the end of the holiday season, we will package up our gifts, along with messages from the children, and send it off to the Khasi Hills so our friends there can keep warm in their cooler months. Help us fill the bottom of our tree with colorful cold weather items! </span><br />

If you haven't been in a while . . . come and give her a warm welcome in our special Installation ceremony. (And bring your Youth--since she's got a special relationship with them. Tell them, yes I know that I am talking about 9:30 in the morning!) We've got Alternative Activities back for our younger kids during the later half of the service. (so no more wiggling kids during the sermon). Speaking of the sermon, I'll be speaking a bit about the Advent season and what the Hindu trinity has taught me about this season. I know, its mixing up religions, but sometimes my mind works that way! I think you'll enjoy the message. And don't forget to bring a dish to share and a song in your heart . . . . for our Annual Holiday party and variety show. </span><br />

Please take an ornament off of the tree and return with a new hat, scarf or mittens for a youth or child and place your item under the tree. At the end of the holiday season, we will package up our gifts, along with messages from the children, and send it off to the Khasi Hills so our friends there can keep warm in their cooler months. Help us fill the bottom of our tree with colorful cold weather items! </span><br />

So, if you haven't been coming because its just been to hard--or you've wanted to bring a family to join you, but thought that having kids there through the service would be too hard, then please give us a try now. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #b45f06; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cindy Hahn</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #b45f06; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is our Childcare Coordinator, so please talk with her if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></div>

After hearing from parents about how difficult it is to attend to a sermon and their wiggly child(ren)---we have made arrangements for there to be a room for children up to 9 years of age to leave to go to alternative activities after the Blessing Song. Pre-K children will still go the the nursery. We have hired a couple of childcare workers to supervise them and come up with fun activities for them to do. So, if you haven't been coming because its just been to hard--or you've wanted to bring a famiy to join you, but thought that having kids there through the service would be too hard, then please give us a try now.

Truly, every day that we wake up and are able to be present to the happenings and life around us is a beautiful day. But some days just ask you to sit up and take notice! When that happens to me, I use it as an invitation to notice what else is beautiful around me. What can you see today? A parent loving a child. Sunshine puddles on the table filling a space with warmth and joy. People doing their jobs well--my postman just delivered my mail to my box. Having nutritious food to eat.

After hearing from parents about how difficult it is to attend to a sermon and their wiggly child(ren)---we have made arrangements for there to be a room for children up to 9 years of age to leave to go to alternative activities after the Blessing Song. Pre-K children will still go the the nursery. We have hired a couple of childcare workers to supervise them and come up with fun activities for them to do. So, if you haven't been coming because its just been to hard--or you've wanted to bring a famiy to join you, but thought that having kids there through the service would be too hard, then please give us a try now. Cindy Hahn is our Childcare Coordinator, so please talk with her if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. </span><br />

<span style="color: #85200c; font-family: Tahoma;">First of all . . . plan on coming this Sunday to our </span><span style="color: #85200c; font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: bold;">Day of the Dead Festival</span><span style="color: #85200c; font-family: Tahoma;">. Once a year we join in this gentle way for us to remember all those dear ones who we have left behind. Please bring some pictures or small keepsake items to go on the Offrenda, the altar, up front. The Children's Choir is going to sing with the Adults . . . that promises to be heartwarming. We will have a time for sharing stories of our ancestors, and lots of good singing.</span></div>

<span style="color: #85200c; font-family: Tahoma;">After that . . . there will be a Halloween party. We invite you to bring costumes, children and adults. I'm recommending that you plan of changing into them at the time of the party, so that the children can focus on being serious during the service--rather then being princesses waving their magic wands or Spiderman crawling the walls! The party will begin right after the service, with treats and games downstairs and the Haunted House upstairs.</span></div>

The </span><span style="color: #85200c; font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: bold;">Rev. Mark Kiyimba, who is a Unitarian minister from Uganda</span><span style="color: #85200c; font-family: Tahoma;"> is coming to visit us this Sunday evening at 7pm. As you may remember from earlier in the year, Uganda has been in the news because they were working to pass legislation to make homosexuality illegal. The Unitarians in Uganda have been, like you might expect, open and accepting. Rev. Mark will be in Ames on the morning of the 30th, so he has arranged to come here on the evening of the 30th to speak to us. Imagine how fun it will be to learn about life in Uganda, and what churches are like there! As well as get the opportunity to learn about GLBT issues in another country. As well as hear about the school and orphanage they run.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;"><div style="color: black; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; height: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 80.2pt; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #85200c; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 15px;">I hope that these sunny days have left you with a sunny heart.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">The Cedar Valley Interfaith Council consists of leaders of many of our local places of worship and exists in order to build relationships and promote understanding among the wide variety of faith communities and religious traditions. The Council is planning a series of events to help us learn about our neighbors whose religious beliefs and practices differ from our own. The first such event will be a series of Open Houses at various worship sites in the Cedar Valley where host faith communities will offer visitors an overview of their history, beliefs and practices.</span></div>

As you may remember from earlier in the year, Uganda has been in the news because they were working to pass legislation to make homosexuality illegal. The Unitarians in Uganda have been, like you might expect, open and accepting. Rev. Mark will be in Ames on the morning of the 30th, so he has arranged to come here on the evening of the 30th to speak to us. Imagine how fun it will be to learn about life in Uganda, and what churches are like there! As well as get the opportunity to learn about GLBT issues in another country. As well as hear about the school and orphanage they run.</span></span></span></span><br />

The Council is planning a series of events to help us learn about our neighbors whose religious beliefs and practices differ from our own. The first such event will be a series of Open Houses at various worship sites in the Cedar Valley where host faith communities will offer visitors an overview of their history, beliefs and practices.</span></span></span></span></div>

We have had dear friends down in Tulsa who let us stay with them every time we go back for a visit. You see, they were friends who bought our house when we left, and told us to come back and stay anytime. They were like that--George and Frieda, a couple who brought a lot of light and laughter to this single mother with 2 kids, 2 cats, and 2 dogs when we lived in Tulsa. A delightful blend of intelligence, warmth and laughter, George always made us feel welcome. The kids and I always pictured we'd be visiting of Tulsa, seeing George and Freida to the end of our days. But George's life ended suddenly last night. No suffering. No long waiting, watching yourself decay. This part is good. But as I said, I just sort of pictured George and Frieda would always be in my life--like that, a delightful couple. I spoke with Frieda this afternoon. She is stunned. She has a life beyond George--she is an amazing belly dancer--but it is had for any of us to picture it right this moment. </span></span></span></span><br />

Give your loved ones a hug, or call, or a text! Let them know they are special to you. I have had nice long conversations with Peter and Irene this evening. (And I look forward to when Chuck gets off from work tonight, so I can call him too.) </span></span></span></span><br />

After leaving them at the airport, I was feeling like a sad mother--George told me a joke to make me smile, and gave me a hug. He could have been in a rush, and not bothered to notice my feelings. But that wasn't like George. I hope I learned a bit from him, and can carry his love and laughter into this world for a while longer. </span></span></span></span><br />

What do you do to reconnect yourself with your values? Some people have given up prayer but there are many ways to pray, and even humanist forms of prayer. Join us as we explore some ideas about prayer, and other ideas for reconnection.</span></span></span></span><br />

I had a good meeting with colleagues at the beginning of the week, at our Annual Fall meeting. Its such a joy to be around people who share your passions and who you've been in conversations with for years. Part of what makes any community rich and strong is our willingness to love. And use our love to ask for forgiveness, to forgive others, and to move on together. Join us this Sunday as we reconnect through acts of love.</span></span></span></span><br />

I would be interesting in talking with you after the service about your reactions to this movement, and your thoughts on the place of the Occupy movement within our faith community. </span></span></span></span><br />

This group brings together citizens and professionals who are concerned about the well-being of children and families on a monthly basis to discuss issues of common concern and to undertake common efforts involving the coordination of multiple community actors. Originally funded by a grant from the Clark Foundation, the Partnership now receives funding for a part time coordinator from the Iowa Department of Human Services.</span></span></span></span><br />

The Hub, currently housed at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church on Mobile Street, is designed to be a place where families and children in need can come to learn about services in a non-threatening environment. As an incentive to get families to the Hub, the CPPC sponsors a community meal once a month, with the assistance of the United Methodist Church and the UNI Episcopal Campus Ministry.</span></span></span></span><br />

As you may know, Food Stamps do not pay for personal hygiene and household cleaning items, yet these expensive items are vital to household well-being. The Northeast Iowa Food Bank carries these items but the demand often exceeds their available supplies. Therefore, the Welcome Baskets are designed to fulfill an important family need for these items. However, these baskets also serve the dual purpose of encouraging families to become informed about vital services and programs that may help them with a range of needs- everything from job training, to mental health counseling, to legal assistance.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A copy of "What's Where in Parenting", the invaluable guide produced by Family and Children's Council, is typically included in each basket.</span></span></span></span><br />

Therefore, we will be holding a special collection of items for the Welcome Baskets during the month of October.</span></span></span></span><br />

Members should consider purchasing an item or items when they are doing their regular grocery shopping. You are encouraged to buy cheaper generic brands rather than name brands, in order to make your expenditures go farther. This initiative involves "in kind" donations that are in addition to our monthly social action collection plate contributions. We hope everyone will join in to support this broad based community effort!</span></span></span></span><br />

My heart is joyful as I contemplate the joy of waking up alive and able to love, laugh and give. I went up to Mayo yesterday for a check-up and the news is: I continue to have good health. Whew! Although I felt that I was generally healthy, needing to make the trip up there is a big reminder that life is uncertain. </span></div>

Making sure that my actions are as skillful as I can make them. Do I make mistakes? Yes, of course. This is definitely a part of being human. I've come to see that being a minister doesn't mean being perfect, or being god-like. It means being willing to do work that helps the larger whole, work that binds us together. Each one of you has tasks that you do, some each day, some each week, some each year . . . that help bind us together as a human community. This Sunday we pause to reflect on our ministries, and to recognize the role of professional ministries among us. Hope to see you there. And, as I say each year, I hope you will give generously to support our larger movement. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Each year UU's across the country gather to celebrate and raise funds to further our movement. The UUA writes, "We know that excellence in ministries is the cornerstone of successful congregations and a vibrant, growing Unitarian Universalism. This year, the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has partnered with the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association (UUMA), the Unitarian Universalist Musicians Network, the Liberal Religious Educators Association, and other professional organizations to celebrate Association Sunday and to raise funds for the future of our ministries. Donations to Association Sunday 2011 will support scholarships, continuing education, and a comprehensive assessment of our ministries and their needs for the future. Grants from Association Sunday 2011 funds will help religious professionals get ongoing training to support thriving congregations." Here's a message from our President, Rev.

This group brings together citizens and professionals who are concerned about the well-being of children and families on a monthly basis to discuss issues of common concern and to undertake common efforts involving the coordination of multiple community actors. Originally funded by a grant from the Clark Foundation, the Partnership now receives funding for a part time coordinator from the Iowa Department of Human Services.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #073763; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><br />

The Hub, currently housed at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church on Mobile Street, is designed to be a place where families and children in need can come to learn about services in a non-threatening environment. As an incentive to get families to the Hub, the CPPC sponsors a community meal once a month, with the assistance of the United Methodist Church and the UNI Episcopal Campus Ministry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #073763; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><br />

As you may know, Food Stamps do not pay for personal hygiene and household cleaning items, yet these expensive items are vital to household well-being. The Northeast Iowa Food Bank carries these items but the demand often exceeds their available supplies. Therefore, the Welcome Baskets are designed to fulfill an important family need for these items. However, these baskets also serve the dual purpose of encouraging families to become informed about vital services and programs that may help them with a range of needs- everything from job training, to mental health counseling, to legal assistance.<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>A copy of "What's Where in Parenting", the invaluable guide produced by Family and Children's Council, is typically included in each basket.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #073763; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><br />

Therefore, we will be holding a special collection of items for the Welcome Baskets during the month of October.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #073763; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br />

Members should consider purchasing an item or items when they are doing their regular grocery shopping. You are encouraged to buy cheaper generic brands rather than name brands, in order to make your expenditures go farther. This initiative involves "in kind" donations that are in addition to our monthly social action collection plate contributions. We hope everyone will join in to support this broad based community effort!</span><br />

The weather is gradually shifting, children are settling into their school routines, and we've all been finding our sweaters. Change is such a delightful part of life, although not all changes are easy, they sure offer us reasons to grow our spirit as we look to meeting each day as an invitation to bring our best selves to the arena. Fall reminds us that change is inevitable in all areas of life, not just weather! </span></span></span></div>

I hope you can plan to come to the whole series. We begin with reconnecting as a community with stories about my Sabbatical of last year. And we will explore the sacred act of 'pause' as the Jewish community is about to join in deep personal reflection during the High Holy Days, which bring in their new year. (oh! and I have a small present for the kids that I brought from India!)</span></div>

This is a family friendly event. Come early and enjoy the trails! There is playground equipment and a volleyball pit near the shelter. Meal begins at 5:30. Bring a dish to share and your own table service. We have the east shelter reserved for the potluck. Drive through the campground, and beyond the gate. Continue to the end of the road (less than a mile). The shelter is on the left (north) side of the road. My cell is 319-429-0283. Call if you have any trouble finding us. ~Cindy Bancroft</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #990000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />

How exciting to see so many of you back on Sunday. Our year feels like its in full swing! Things that warmed my heart last Sunday: getting so many hugs from young children during the service, the whole front row being dominated by the younger UU Youth, smelling pancakes cooking as I first walked in, hearing so many voices singing together, hearing stories of triumph over cancer, seeing Mickey's new hedgehog, hearing the all the kids trompling down the hallway on their way to their first Sunday School class of the year, seeing a few people in tears surrounded by loving companions to comfort them, and you! I love spending time with each one of you . . . your rich stories, your persistence and growth are such an inspiration to me. </span></span></span></span><br />

The Social Action Committee will be providing opportunities for the congregation to become more educated on this issue throughout the year, but this notice of a webinar was an immediate opportunity that came to my attention through the Standing on the Side of Love campaign. </span></span></span></span><br />

If so, you're not alone. <br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />In the past few weeks, there have been new announcements by the Obama Administration of changes in policy around deportation. But what do these changes really mean on the ground? Some states are opting out of the Secure Communities program and passing their own versions of the DREAM Act, while others are in litigation with civil rights organizations and the federal government over their copycat SB 1070 laws. With the lawsuits, the referendums, the protests, and the announcements streaming past us at light speed, the landscape of immigration policy and reform is complex and ever changing. <br class="kix-line-break" /> <br class="kix-line-break" />We'd like to simplify things for you. <br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />Join us for a special Webinar on Immigration on Monday, September 26th at 4PM EDT. <br class="kix-line-break" /> <br class="kix-line-break" />Sign up to attend now:<br class="kix-line-break" /></span><a href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1272/p/salsa/web/common/public/signup?signup_page_KEY=6241"><span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1272/p/salsa/web/common/public/signup?signup_page_KEY=6241</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #274e13; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /> <br class="kix-line-break" />On the call we will be joined by representatives from the Arizona-based humanitarian group No More Deaths, who are releasing a comprehensive report outlining problems with the treatment of migrants in custody of the U.S. Border Patrol; the New Sanctuary Movement; plus leaders within UU State Advocacy Networks. This 45-minute call will give you informed insight from insiders who know the issues, as well as an opportunity to ask questions of panel participants.
