Homeless Jesus 

The Reverend Forrest Gilmore

There's a bronze statue that sits outside an Episcopal Church in North Carolina, which depicts a sleeping man on a park bench, wrapped in a blanket. It's the typical image of a homeless man that we've seen countless times, but for one thing -the man's feet reveal two nail-scarred wounds. As Easter approaches, what does it mean to honor a man who so deeply dedicated himself to the poor and homeless? We invite you to join us.

Resilience and Jazz Theology

What type of resilience is found in jazz and improvisation?  How does inventiveness take us forward into the unknown  as individuals and a community?  We will explore these questions in this worship service which promises jazzy improvisations and theological ponderings.

Lo, the Day of Days is Here
 

The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
The Reverend Douglas Wadkins

On this Easter Sunday, we will continue to explore our theme of resilience in terms of spring's awakening and the traditional stories from Easter.   We are delighted that our choir will offer special music from George Frederick Handel.  In addition we will have a special Social Justice Moment from our Elder Focus Task Force.   Please note that our Habitat for Humanity Task Force will be hosting a fundraising breakfast this morning as well!

Our Board of Directors: Pat Brantlinger, Von Welch, Deb Hutton, Ann LeDuc, Kathleen Sideli, Doug Cauble, and Arzetta Hults-Losensky

Nominations for the Ministerial Search Committee
We thank everyone who submitted nominations for the Ministerial Search Committee.  We also appreciated the comments from those who chose not to nominate because they trust the process and the congregation.  In the coming weeks the board will be considering the hundreds of nominations that were submitted as we assemble a slate for a vote by members at the congregational meeting in June.  It is impressive to see how many individuals have the confidence and trust of so many members and friends of our congregation!  The challenge to the board, of course, will be to assemble a slate who meet the criteria established for the committee as a whole (see http://search.uubloomington.org/) as well as who agree to serve if elected. If you have any questions about the search committee process, please do not hesitate to contact a board member at any time. --Kathleen Sideli, President, Board of Directors

In the Interim 

Thoughts from Your Interim Minister

 

Greetings good people! 

 

     We are a little over a quarter of the way through our journey together!  The time flies, does it not?!?   Looking ahead, it won't be long until the search team for your future associate minister is announced. Then that team will meet with your Minister Settle Representative, the Rev. Keith Kron, the Transitions Director for the Unitarian Universalist Association. He will get them started sagaciously for the tasks of the coming year, preparing and shepherding the search.  In the meantime, there is much good work for all in addressing this time of transition.  

     Within my ministry this winter, I have been working with staff, your ministry team, the board and many of the committees of the congregation to engage the past, present and future of UUCB.  I am currently working with the staff to explore the strengths they bring to their ministries and how to best utilize them as a team. This work will help them consider the best qualities to broaden the strength of the ministry for future clergy and lay staff alike. T

     he spring and fall will include important work for you all in creating a space where the mission and vision of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington invigorates and shapes the daily life of the congregation.  You have an essential part to play in this time. Your input will help shape your search team's understanding of who you are, and who will be the right person to join the ministry in this vibrant community. Your wisdom will join a collaborative effort that will discern the shared vision of this congregation's future ministry.  

     Remember, there are possibilities that can be imagined in this time of transition that are unique and powerful. Your investment now of all that you bring to this congregation will nurture a sense of partnership that will serve you and your community well in the coming years. 

     There is wonderful work ahead for us.  The time will continue to unfold with alarming rapidity, but we will make the most of our shared sojourn.  I must tell you, it has been a glorious, full and fulfilling first quarter!   Together we shall move forward and engage this time creatively!

 

With signs of the renewal of Spring! 

    Doug 

The Reverend Douglas Wadkins, Interim Minister 


 

MAM's Musings

          Ministry is changing and technological breakthroughs are part of that change.  We utilize many resources to reach out to congregation members and friends as we go forth with our vision of Seeking the Spirit. Building Community.  Changing the World.  Last week, when I was in Selma, I was able to be with you in worship through the technological skills of our Multi-Media specialist Andy Beargie and Reverend Douglas Wadkins.   I also communicated part of this civil rights pilgrimage through Facebook.  It was great to be in touch with so many people in such a moment by moment manner.  For those of you who were not on Facebook, here are some images shared:  Reverend Gordon Gibson, UU author of Southern Witness and Reverend Mark Morrison-Reed, UU author of Selma Awakening; Pastor Leddis Strong of Brown Chapel in Selma, an AME Church.  When we arrived Pastor Strong was leaving; in this photo he is saying to me, 



 

MAM at Pettus Bridge, Selma

 

"Because you are Unitarian Universalist.  Because of James Reeb and Viola Liuzzo, I will stay and let you in."  Our UU presence 50 years ago is still remembered today.  The next photo is sitting in Brown Chapel with Reverend UU Richard Gilbert, whose words I often use in worship.   Dick Gilbert shared that he was sitting behind the chancel when Martin Luther King Jr. rushed by him as an electric-energy filled the chapel fifty years ago.

         I look forward to the continued lifting up of our vision as liberal religious community as we enter our Annual Giving Campaign within the next month.  Thanks to Drew Schrader for his Pledge Drive comments in this newsletter.

 

Peace,

    MAM

The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin, Senior Minister

Building Community

Play Your Part -- 

by Drew Schrader

     

     As is the case most years, we stumbled upon this year's Annual Giving Campaign theme somewhat accidentally, but the longer I've had time to sit with it, the more that "Play your part" feels just right.  The Annual Giving campaign is both a celebration and an opportunity for intentional reflection about the church as presence in our individual lives as well as in the life of the larger Bloomington and world communities.  As a congregation, we really do play our part as both a liberal religious home and an ever growing force for social justice.
     We also each play our part individually through contributions of time, talent, and treasure to the work the church does.  We all know that the Annual Giving Campaign specifically aims this annual reflection at our pledged financial gifts. We need to make sure we celebrate just what a truly generous community we are. Our average pledge has increased more than 30% since 2010 and we continue to make progress towards a budget that fully reflects our values for fair compensation for everyone the church employs. We need to pause and celebrate the spirit of generosity that fills the hearts and minds of the friends and members of this church!
      One of our hopes for this year's campaign is that every member and friend of the church could make a formal pledge to the annual campaign which kicks off April 12th. We know individual finances do not allow everyone to make the same level of pledge; the specific amount isn't really the point.  We honor every pledge made with the belief it represents each individual's reflection on the value of the church in their own life mixed with the reality of their own finances in a way that feels right and good for them. We truly believe that formally contributing to something larger than yourself in this way feels good and is good and we want everyone to have that sense of playing their part in all the good things happening because of our congregation.   
Stewardship Breakfast is So Much FUN!
     April 12th
 is the Stewardship Sunday for our church at which we ask members and friends to think about what this church means to them and decide how they would like to support it financially. But before those pledges come in, we nee support in a much more physical way! Abby Gitlitz and Marth Sattinger will be preparing a glorious feast for the event and we need help chopping, washing, boiling, baking and skewering the food. 
     We are looking for people to commit to help Saturday the 11th (time TBA and can be flexible) and Sunday the 12th from 8:00am-1:00 (or any portion of thereof).  Please email Abby ([email protected]) if you  are interested.

Green Sanctuary Task Force Spring Clothing 

(& Household Goods) Swap April 18
