Denominational Affairs
We recently celebrated Association Sunday at UUC as well as the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Association
Sunday funds leading-edge projects and initiatives designed to further
strengthen and grow Unitarian Universalism, increasing our capacity to
carry out our mission and expand our reach.
Part of the
offertory from Association Sunday will be sent to UUA so they can continue to
create and sponsor programs such as the "Building the World We Dream About" workshop that will be held in Boca Raton on Saturday, March
13 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The facilitators for this workshop will be Dr. Mark Hicks, UUA JUUST
Change Consultant and Angus MacLean, Professor of Religious Education
at Meadville Lombard Theological School.
This
workshop is designed for congregations like UUC who want to use tools
and resources prepared by the UUA so that we can participate in the
racial justice ministry. Dr. King is most famous for his "I Have a Dream" speech. Isn't
it only fitting that funds collected from all UUA congregations would
continue his work by developing programs where we can build on his
dream?
If you would like to attend this workshop on racial justice ministry, you can register online at www.floridadistrict.org.
If you would like to carpool, just email Judy Wade at
jwade866@verizon.net and she will be happy to coordinate riders with
drivers.

Random Reflections
The
interfaith conference we hosted over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend (Jan.
14-17) was an amazing experience. Over
fifty people attended the conference plus speakers and invited guests. The attendees were treated to thought-provoking theme talks by Bill Schulz, Paul Rasor, and Mozella Mitchell,
informative workshops by Roy Kaplan and others, inspiring worship services, and
small group discussions. A special highlight was the multifaith,
multicultural concert to commemorate Dr. King's birthday and to raise funds for
Haiti. That night, the sanctuary was
nearly full with people from different cultures, ethnicities, faiths, and
backgrounds. Seeing so many cultures and
faiths blending in harmony was truly inspiring and enlightening. We raised more than $3,000 that night.
A
great big thank you to conference coordinator Denise Seeber, volunteer
coordinator Sue Boone, and the many volunteers and staff who staffed the
registration table, served food and drinks, provided home hospitality and transportation,
set up chairs, cleaned rooms, provided music at worship and the concert, ran
the audio and video, and above all, made all the participants feel welcome and
at home here. Our congregation is
blessed to have such excellent people with abundant talents and gifts. Our
members who volunteered their time and efforts were indeed the highlight of the
conference because they embodied an important principle that many speakers emphasized
in their talks -- radical hospitality. They walked the talk by being gracious, warm,
and caring hosts to all those in attendance.
Practicing
Hospitality is our essential mission. It
is a virtue of the human heart that is desperately needed today. It is a virtue that needs to be practiced by
individuals, institutions, and nations if there is to be reconciliation and
peace.
Occasions
such as these give us the blessed opportunity to welcome the stranger into our
lives and to treat them with respect and love. They challenge us to step out of our comfort zones and be present to
perspectives and needs that are quite different from our own. In the process, we ourselves are changed and
transformed by our encounters with the stranger, the guest, the other.
May
we continue to choose the blessed path of hospitality. May we open our hearts and welcome stranger
and friend alike. How can we do anything
else?
With
gratitude,
Rev. Abhi
Janamanchi

From Rev. Doris Hunter, Chair of the U.S. Chapter of the IARF "How
can we begin to thank you all, conference volunteers, congregational
participants and of course, your senior minister, the Rev. Abhi Janamanchi, for
all the gracious assistance you gave to us during our IARF Conference at the
Clearwater Unitarian Universalist Church! From the first moment we
arrived on Thursday, we knew that everything was in order and ready to go for a
smooth conference ride and it was indeed the case. Southern hospitality
is certainly a reality and we experienced it 100%. We heard so many
wonderful comments about home hospitality and again, we were so grateful for
this opportunity for some of our participants including Thomas Mathew from
India and Sri Kota, our young adult from Boston. Thank you again and again for
all the work, the details, the space, the social hours, the registration
welcome table, etc. You were the "highlights" of the
conference. "

A Refreshing Start
With the New Year comes an opportunity to start new good
habits and eradicate those that have been a hindrance. In Buddhism, each day offers that opportunity
to change ourselves. Yet that change usually waits until the New Year, when we make
resolutions that themselves are hard to maintain. I think that making a resolution truly
requires some kind of spiritual faith, belief that one can accomplish one's
goals.
This year I made a resolution to always seek the
Buddha-nature, or inherent goodness and potential for enlightenment, in each
individual I encounter. This is a rather
difficult resolution, and it is not the first year I've tried it. However, I think that by trying to seek out
the good qualities in others, I can confront other obstacles of the mind that I
face, including greed, impatience, and idleness. When my ego gets in the way, I often find it
hard to do anything worthwhile. If I could
just leave my own agenda out of the mix, I think practicing generosity,
patience, and perseverance wouldn't be such a struggle.
Of course there are times when we are confronted with rather
challenging people, who think, act, or speak unlike we do, and impulses tell us
to change the other by whatever means necessary. This is all natural, but the truth is that it
never gets us anywhere. That is why this
year I would like to change myself first and be more accepting of others.
Though I may change my perspective, it would be unrealistic to assume there
will be any sudden changes. However, I
believe that if I can strive to see the Buddha-nature in others, it will
certainly bring out my own, and keep me on a positive and progressive path for
this New Year. How refreshing that will
be!
In Reverence,
Nick Ozuna

appreciated and read (religiously). Her last edition was December,
2009.
Nancy also continues to serve on the UUC Board and is the
first active member of the board to receive the Above & Beyond
Award. Great thanks, Nancy, for all of your work on behalf of the UUC
community.

From the Music Director
One
of the great things I believe any church can do is to provide outreach
to its community. I firmly believe that Unitarian Universalists have
an excellent grasp on reaching out beyond the four walls of the church
itself.
Music
ministry provides a wonderful opportunity to reach out to those who
seek nurturing of the spirit in a context with which they are comfortable
and familiar. To that end, I am excited by the recent and
upcoming concerts we will be having in the Octagon at Unitarian
Universalists of Clearwater.
Dr.
Judith Alstadter is a Steinway artist who will be performing a
Valentine's Day romantic sampler in the Octagon on February 14th at 2
p.m. Originally from New York, Dr. Alstadter has recorded and traveled
extensively presenting her wonderful piano artistry. Her program on
February 14th, which focuses on the joyful romance of the day, will
feature works by composers as diverse as Chopin, Cole Porter, and George
Gershwin as well as women ragtime composers. The concert is free and open to
the public. A love-offering will be taken and Judith will have her
recordings for sale following the concert.
Please
plan on sharing the music and ministry of our concerts as well as
other future concerts with friends, family and neighbors. Audience
members need not be members of our church. If they are looking for
fine music in a warm inviting space, then they should plan on
attending. I look forward to seeing you there.
Blessed be and Shalom, David

Religious Education News
Our Religious
Education (RE) classes have completed their fall curricula and are beginning their
new programs for the remainder of the church year. Our Nursery continues to grow by leaps and
bounds and welcomes all children up to three years of age. In order to ensure the safety of our infants
and toddlers, we ask that older children either attend their own RE classes or
remain with their parents during the worship service.
Here's what
our older children and youth are learning:
Pre-K
"Creating Home": Children are introduced to
meditation, prayer, creative expression and other spiritual practices as they
explore notions of homes and what they are for, through animal homes, their own
family homes, and their faith home.
Kindergarten-2nd grade
"Moral Tales": Stories illuminate the meaning of fairness, compassion,
and 14 other Unitarian Universalist values. Children learn how these values can
direct us toward goodness and justice, using the moral compass we each carry
inside.
3rd-5th
grade
"Windows and Mirrors" nurtures children's ability to identify
their own experiences and perspectives and to seek out, care about and respect
those of others. The sessions unpack topics that lend themselves to diverse
experiences and perspectives -- for example, faith heritage, public service,
anti-racism and prayer. The program teaches that there are always multiple
viewpoints and everyone's viewpoint matters.
Youth (6th-12th
grade)
"Messages in
Music" introduces youth to the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism and
the sources from which they evolved in our religious history. This program
helps youth to understand and incorporate into their lives the Principles of
Unitarian Universalism. Using contemporary music as a focus, youth learn to
incorporate and express Unitarian Universalist values in their lives.
We hope that
you and your children continue to be a part of our Religious Education
Program. We welcome and appreciate your
time, suggestions and donations with open arms.

Pensa, RE
Assistant

Your
donations of nonperishable food items and toiletries are desperately
needed. Remember we have an RCS
collection box in the sanctuary lobby, under the office window. Suggestions include: canned meats, tuna, chili, stews and low

Social Justice Council News
MLK March and Rally
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. March and Rally took
place on January 18th. Twelve
UUC members attended the breakfast and enjoyed the delicious food. The NAACP presented a plaque to retiring
Police Chief Sid Klein thanking him for his many years of service, cooperation
and initiatives to further understanding and assist all citizens of our
community. After the breakfast, approximately 20-25 UU's joined the march to Coachman
Park and attended the
rally. It was a very successful event.
Split the
Plate & Haiti Collections
On
January 17th we celebrated Association Sunday; $950 was collected for the UUA and
approximately $406 for UUC. In
addition, many people donated to the UUSC/UUA Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. So far we have contributions of about $6,000,
including a $1,000 donation from the Better World Emergency Fund, to assist
with the disaster relief. We will
continue receiving Haiti
donations for the next several weeks. On
February 14th we will Split the Plate with Project Hope. Project Hope provides temporary housing,
food, counseling, and assistance to the homeless of Pinellas County. The unusual cold spell severely stretched
their resources and they need your generosity and donations to continue their
vital work.
The Khasi
Hills Sponsor-A-Student Project Update
Our annual
renewal drive is almost over and we need your help to meet our goal. We have a budget request of $5,400 and
have collected only about half of the necessary funds. The students, teachers and Margaret Barr
Memorial School
need our support. Help us honor our
commitment. Consider sponsoring a child
or making a donation in any amount today.
The cost is just $50 to sponsor a child for the entire year. Remember, education is the answer to most of
the world's problems. The deadline to
participate in this wonderful project is January 31st.

Environmental
Justice
The IARF
Conference January 14-17 had a green theme. One outstanding contribution
was that of Jim Scott, UU singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He has been
involved in the formation of the UU Ministry for the Earth and the Green
Sanctuary Program. Some of his hymns are in our hymnals and he has a green
songbook as well as CDs.
Dotti presented information on the Green Sanctuary Program to the Board of
Trustees on January 20th. It will be an action item on February's Board agenda to decide whether to recommend to the congregation that UUC go forward in
applying for Green Sanctuary status.
On January 30th at the Green Team meeting, representatives from Next Wave Solar presented
a proposal as to how UUC could have solar power through a power purchase
agreement. This information will be presented to the Board at its February
meeting.
We will be starting a Green Survey of UUC and members in February. We also hope to present some adult RE
offerings on green issues, starting in February or March, as well as an "Earth Cinema Circle"
of green films.
All are welcome to attend Board and Green Team meetings. Check the calendar and
watch for announcements. -- Marlene Calderone, 727-669-9517

Trustee News
At its January meeting, the Board of
Trustees was excited to hear about the work of the Green Team in their effort to lead our Congregation to Green Sanctuary accreditation. Green Sanctuaries are committed to
implementing sustainability measures in congregational life and encouraging
individual members to make environmental-friendly choices. Our Green Team will meet next Saturday, Jan.
30, to explore the possibility of using
solar energy in our buildings. Contact
Dotti Doyle for information.
For more information about Green Sanctuary Accreditation
go to UUA.org and enter "Green Sanctuary" in the search box.
Abhi shared
that the IARF Conference was a great success and the guests raved about the
very warm hospitality that was extended by the many volunteers. About 20% of congregation members
volunteered, and are to be commended for their enthusiasm and
graciousness. The highlight of the
weekend was the concert Friday night. A variety of area religious that rarely
ever meet in the same venue shared their music. The concert concluded with percussion
ensembles from various cultures generating much energy and great vibrations,
the likes of which the Octagon has never heard.
Lots of good
things are happening at UUC and we want to keep this momentum going forward.
Members seem to be quite satisfied with our congregational life. But as each of our own needs keep changing, as
well as the needs of our community, UUC
must involve to meet the new demands of our members. Watch for a Town Hall meeting in February
where the Board will present Objectives for 2010-2011.
Shalom, Sue

Stewardship Through Pledging: Generous and Fair Share Giving
Last
month in the Octagram we talked about UUC finances - where the money comes from
and where it goes. About 70% of our funding comes from pledges by individual
members and friends in support of UUC. Funding from other sources is expected
to be stable next year. About 70% of our expenses are for staff salaries and
benefits, 25% are for fixed operational costs (buildings, utilities, etc.) and
UUA/regional dues, leaving about 5% for discretionary funds for programs and
activities.
Pledge
income is the foundation of our church finances, so this month we present some
things for you to consider as you prepare to renew your pledge. Pledge renewals
are received by the end of March, after which the Finance Committee prepares a
budget for Board and congregation approval by the June 1 start of the new
fiscal year.
As
a newcomer to "stewardship," I have been reading on the topic and find that the websites
of UUA and other religions have a wealth of information. The Christian churches
emphasize that giving is spiritually healthy and that "...the church has a
legitimate claim on us that is different from any other outfit on the planet." This
is true for our UUC church, which is why we have our Stewardship Celebration
each year. We celebrate the programs and activities that are the foundations of
our ministry and that are the reasons why we are a part of UUC. We also
celebrate the time, talents and treasures we give to UUC as our personal
ministry.
The
culmination of the Stewardship Celebration is pledge renewal that invariably
raises the question, "how much should I pledge?" As a practical matter, we all
have to manage our own finances responsibly and wisely. But, as a spiritual
matter, we UUs know that as we pursue our own spiritual journeys we also want to
use our resources generously. So, what is a generous
contribution to UUC?
Generosity
comes from the heart. We usually know when we have been generous, but can't put
it in words. But there are a number of ways to get some type of measure of our generosity.
One way is to compare our own contribution with others in similar circumstances
-- measure against the norm of our social circle. Some of my peers give the
full biblical tithe of 10% of income to their church. Many don't go to church
but give generously to other organizations. The UUA has studied this in depth
and has published a Suggested Fair-Share Giving Guide, summarized below. It is not in any way a requirement but does
provide a point of reference in answering the question "how much?"
There
are some amongst us who were or are supporting someone who has had a
significant loss of income during the recent severe economic conditions. Those
who have not been so adversely affected can help compensate for the less
fortunate. We could think about increasing our contribution as a gift to those
who are suffering from the recession and cannot contribute much.
We,
the UUC congregation provide all our own funding. For the coming year, the
Finance Committee has estimated that pledge income of $320,000 will support the
same level of staff, facilities and program as the current year. That is about
10% above last year's pledges to account for operating cost escalations and
restoring some items dropped from the current budget. With 311 pledging members
and friends, an average donation of $1,030 per person will meet the goal of
$320,000. But everyone cannot give equally.
Some observations (please see graphics below this article as well):
10% of the larger pledges provided 40% of the pledge total (average $3,500
each)
35% of mid-range pledges provided 40% of the pledge total (average $1,035 each)
55% of smaller pledges provided 20% of the pledge total (average $350 each)
The
problem with the current distribution of pledges is that UUC is too dependent
on a few donors giving relatively large amounts. We encourage those donors in
the mid-range to think about their contribution and to be sure it is generous,
in keeping with our spiritual principles.
For
those who would like to know more about UUC finances, please attend Open Issues,
9:30 a.m., February 7, in the Patio Room for a lively discussion on this topic
with the Treasurer (Bill Norsworthy), Finance Chair (Ed Kraemer) and
Stewardship Chairs (Owen Thompson and Bill Snell).

Money Matters: Exploring Our Relationship With Money
Thursdays
Feb. 18, 25, March 4 7:00 p.m.
Rev.
Abhi Janamanchi
Talking
about money isn't easy. There are so
many taboos surrounding it. Money has
taken on the role of god in our world.
How do we move money from being a controlling/critical force to a
creative/joyful/spiritual one? Based on the Rev. Mark Morrison-Reed's Money Workshop, the three-session course
will dissect the role of money in our lives, seek to understand the concept of
money as spiritual currency, and explore the meaning of money as individuals
and as a religious community.
Cost of
registration for the entire course is $20.
Registration forms can be found on our website (www.uuclearwater.org) or by calling the
office at 531-7704.

Upcoming Worship Services: Sundays at 10:30 a.m.
Feb. 7 Building
the World We Dream About Abhi
Janamanchi
UUA President Peter Morales recently said, "America's future
is a multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic future. Our faith must learn to
express itself in new ways. If we are to be a vital religious movement, we must
develop a multicultural and multiracial ministry. The work we do today to
nurture diversity in our ministry is essential." The service will explore what it takes to
build a truly diverse, multicultural religious community.
Feb. 14 All We Need is LOVE Abhi Janamanchi
On Valentine's Day (and Bring-A-Friend-Sunday), we explore what
it means for love to be the guiding principle of a religious community. Not the
syrupy pap portrayed in Hallmark cards, but the grittier kind that asks
us what it means to be in relationship with one another. What do we owe one another? What can we expect
of one another? We will welcome new
members during the service.
Feb. 21 A Holy Curiosity Abhi Janamanchi
"The great end in religious instruction," wrote 19th
century Unitarian forebear William Ellery Channing, "is not to stamp our minds
upon the young, but to stir up their own; not to make them see with our eyes,
but to look inquiringly and steadily with their own. . . . in a word, the great
end is to awaken the soul, to excite and cherish spiritual life." What are the commitments a religious
community makes to awaken, cherish, and nurture the spiritual lives of
children? The service will investigate.
Feb. 28 The Joy of Mud Abhi Janamanchi
An
important thing I have learned in ministry is that congregations are a lot like
gardens. They are lovely, yes, but they are also messy and muddy, sometimes
unruly and weedy. I have learned that
healthy congregations, great congregations, begin with mud. What do I mean by this? Come find out.
