Easter Offering
At this time of the year, it has been our custom to remember the church with a special gift. The Easter gift envelope can be placed in the collection plate or mailed to the church. |
|
The Essex Retreat and Conference Center was filled with laughter, singing, eating, photography, meditation, writing, crafts and a great deal of talking from March 28-30 as 39 women gathered to share stories, renew old, and make new, connections. We explored the theme of the five senses and we are happy to report that we used all of them. Many thanks to the incredible committee that made it all work - Miriam Baker, Jeanne O'Farrell, Martha Spaulding, Anne Stuart and Hayat Weiss - as well as help from many others including Parrish Dobson, Bev Gillette, Eleanor Hobbs, Judith Hollowood, Cec Michaelis, and Kathy Lind. We'll definitely be going back next year! |

Projects could include knitting for non-profit organizations such as Caps for Kids, making small gifts for the Holiday Fair or working on personal projects. Everyone is welcome and no commitment is necessary. Questions contact Eva. |
Science & Spirituality
Thur, April 17, 7:30pm, CR
Ken Bernstein & Edwin Taylor
Nicole Bernstein will lead a discussion of Flatland: A Romance in Many Dimensions published in 1883 by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott (not a misprint!). Long before special relativity's four space time dimensions, Abbott examined the challenges of living in one (!), two, three, and many dimensions. No spirituality? Consider the three-dimensional sphere from Spaceland, who visits two-dimensional Flatland once every millennium to convert its inhabitants to belief in his (His?) existence. As the sphere passes through, he appears to flatlanders as a point that grows to a circle, then shrinks again to a point. Those who join him are considered heretics and persecuted. Flatlanders is posted on our website eftaylor.com/sands. All 63 pages are worth reading for insights into the limited understanding we have of our world. |

Palm Sunday, April 13
9:00am: From What Do You Seek To Escape?
Rev. David M. Bryce
Childcare for infants and young children
10:30am: Spring Music Service
Music: Requiem -Karl Jenkins (contemp. Welsh composer)
Senior Choir, Soloists, Chamber Orchestra
conducted by Alfa Joy Radford, Minister of Music & Organist
and Ian Garvie, Assistant Music Director
Homily: Good Friday
Rev. David M. Bryce
Childcare for infants and young children
This Sunday morning, during our annual Spring Music Service, the Sr. Choir and Soloists, will present REQUIEM by Karl Jenkins, highly acclaimed Welsh composer. The choir and soloists will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra of harp, shakuhachi, strings, French horns, glockenspiel, bamboo chimes, rainsticks, and timpani. First Church parishioner, Kenneth Stalberg, will be the Concertmaster. Soloists are Shannon Rose Garvie, soprano; Irina Kareva, alto; Davron Monroe, tenor; and Chuck Claus, baritone.
This Requiem, composed in 2005, is a unique, somewhat exotic choral work, to which, in addition to the conventional Latin movements, the composer has interspersed several Japanese Haiku poems with ethnic percussion and Shakuhachi, an ancient Japanese bamboo flute. The music is deeply moving, using voices, instruments, Psalms, and liturgy to express moods which range from sweet supplication and sublime peace to clamorous exultation.
Join us on Sunday, as we welcome and celebrate the glories of Spring.

Reflections from Rev. David Bryce, Senior Minister
This morning I looked out on my back deck and noticed that the water in the bird bath was frozen. Frozen. On April 1.
That was a nasty April Fool's joke by mother nature.
But last Friday in the early evening, Genie and I saw a small frog crossing the road (Why did the frog cross the road?) and we knew that this was a sign of spring.
I love spring; the time of year when buds struggle to open, when shoots break through the earth and out of branches, when animals large and small begin to stir after winter's long stillness.
Something changes in me during this season of the year, some deep internal stirrings of life and energy begin to rise. It is not general energy, not anything that can be tapped and focused. Instead, it is the energy of a kind of creative chaos that draws me away from the things that I "ought" to do or "should" do and leads me to activities that have no purpose other than connecting me more deeply to life. It is the kind of energy that gives joy for being, that gives greater color and clarity to the world. I suppose that it is this kind of energy that gave rise to April Fool's Day, to the silly acts that bring smiles and buoyant giggles to some.
So I celebrate spring. May we all celebrate the rising sense of spring within our hearts. |

Our Whole Lives Lifespan Sexuality Education at The First Church in Belmont
For many FCB youth, eighth grade OWL (Our Whole Lives) is a right of passage. This comprehensive and progressive sexuality education course offers our youth an opportunity to participate in a program that models and teaches caring, compassion, respect and justice while addressing sensitive topics such as human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. The course was created in the early 1970s and originally called "About Your Sexuality" (AYS). In the 1990s, the curriculum was updated and the name changed to "Our Whole Lives." The curriculum was also expanded to offer "lifespan" education, with lessons for Kindergarteners to adults.
Our FCB eighth grade OWL class has been around for many years. The class typically runs from January until late May on Sunday afternoons. The current eighth grade OWL class has 28 students and five trained facilitators to lead the class. Four of the facilitators are FCB volunteers: Clifford Backman, Wendy Conroy, Stefan Frank, and Siobhan O'Neill. In addition, Lynn Rosenbaum, a volunteer from the UU church in Arlington, has joined the OWL team this year.
In addition to the 8th grade OWL class, we are in our 4th year of offering an age-appropriate version of OWL for grade 5 and 6 students. It is held on Sunday mornings from March until mid-May. The course is framed around responsibility, relationships and respect. Topics are tailored to middle-school audiences and include healthy and safe bodies, puberty, decision making, family relationships, communication, sexual orientation and gender roles as well as the act of lovemaking and reproduction. The program uses the book It's Perfectly Normal which features cartoon illustrations and a light-hearted approach to discussing sex and reproduction. The current fifth and sixth grade OWL has 20 students and four trained facilitators: Sarah Calkins, Dick Lehr, Carolyn Howard, and Suzi Marcus.
Both our OWL classes provide accurate and age-appropriate information to our youth and give them the opportunity to ask anonymous questions, to share opinions and to explore attitudes. The classes address topics frequently excluded from health and sex education courses in public schools, which tend to focus on the facts of reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases and not on the wider aspects of human sexuality. Our participants gain the knowledge, interpersonal skills, and values to help them live healthier lives and treat others with respect.
The chance to participate in a quality sexuality education program is a tremendous gift to the children and youth of FCB. As the OWL slogan goes, "Just Say Know!"
Wendy Conroy, FCB OWL Coordinator |
March Stewardship Drive Update
As of this writing on Wednesday, April 2, our March Stewardship Drive has reached a total of over $531,000 - our best start ever! Over two hundred individuals and families have responded, many with very generous increases and an average pledge level of nearly $2,500. However, several dozen active members and friends have still not replied to this request. We cannot complete our work until we close our remaining funding gap of $74,000 and secure a 100% response rate. If you are among the late respondents - *please* ease this burden on our all-volunteer effort! While there is no required minimum pledge level, it is a matter of good faith that every active parishioner respond to the annual stewardship request in a timely fashion. More information and an on-line pledge form are available at www.uubelmont.org/stewardship. You may also e-mail Susan Street at sstreet@uubelmont.org or simply call her at 617.484.1054 ext. 201 with your response. Time is now of the essence so that our Parish Board may prepare a fully-funded budget for presentation at our May 18 annual meeting. Your consideration and your generosity are greatly appreciated!

Church-Wide Survey
We hope that you will fill out our new church-wide survey by April 14. The purpose of this brief survey prepared by the Committee on Ministry is to obtain congregational feedback on some aspects of the life of this church. The COM was established by the Parish Board in 2009 to conduct periodic congregational evaluations of our committees, our lay leadership and our minister. In 2011 the Parish Board approved the development of this COM questionnaire to provide an assessment of all of these church ministries. Simply put, it asks, "How are we doing?" While we are pleased by the hard work and dedication of committee volunteers, lay leadership and our minister, we are always looking for areas of growth to continue to strengthen our church. Your feedback will assist the Parish Board in setting priorities for the upcoming years. Your response is important and will remain anonymous. We urge you to answer only those questions of relevance to you. A summary of the results will be presented at our Annual Meeting, May 18.
The link to the survey is available in a recent e-mail you received. A paper copy is available from the church office (617.484.1054). |

ALL-CHURCH RUMMAGE SALE MAY 3
The Rummage Sale is coming up fast! If you find you have too much stuff, please consider giving some of it to the Sale and its good causes. Your donations not only help people to afford the things they need while on a tight budget, but remainders are donated to various non-profits. Just about everything clean and in good condition is saleable. Check the handout for wanted and unwanted items. Presorting and hanging clothing (except knits) makes the volunteers' work easy. Tax credit forms are again available.
The Partner Church Committee is one of the three recipients of Sale proceeds. The PCC uses the funds it receives to pay for the visits of our Désfalva family, as well as for "scholarships" for some Belmont members who cannot afford to fly to Europe. Even with additional fundraising by the PCC, it takes several years to build up enough money to pay for air tickets and expenses. Our mutual visits strengthen connections between our two communities, and especially lend spiritual support to the Désfalva community in its struggles as a minority within Romania.
Church volunteers for at least 2 hours may shop at the pre-Sale Friday evening starting at 6:30 - a good time to find great bargains! There are tasks for every interest and ability: moving and setting up tables and racks, organizing and pricing, helping with crowds on Sale day, packing boxes for shelters, putting tables and racks away, and distributing goods after the sale. Please sign up on the signup board or at fcb404@gmail.com. Thank you! |
SECOND FRIDAY COFFEEHOUSE, Friday, April 11
This month's coffeehouse features the songs of Cole Porter in "Longing for Dear Old Broadway," a cabaret performance by Emily Vick Agnew. Accompanied by pianist, Robert L. Ruckinski, Emily will take you on a musical journey through the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s in the life of Cole Porter. Emily is the granddaughter of long-time member Laura Miller.
The opening act will be a folk quartet made up of First Church friends: Roger Miller, Lakshmi Nayak, Eva Patalas and Gerri Strickler. They will perform folk and country songs with vocal harmonies accompanied by acoustic guitar, mandolin, autoharp and recorder (with guest Chris Abouzeid).
The beneficiary is the Children's Room, an organization that provides services to grieving children and their families. (Click here to see flyer!) |
