"Invitation to: Seeking the Spirit"
The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin Our theme for September is Invitation. As we enter our new church year for 2015-2016, we will explore our theme through the congregation's vision statement of "Seeking the Spirit. Building Community. Changing the World." In this worship service, Reverend Macklin will explore the paradoxical world of spirituality within our lives. The new version of our Getting Involved Fair will also be introduced. See Connections Coordinator Shari Woodbury's article on the Getting Involved Fair elsewhere in this issue. |

This vital aspect of congregational life brings with it inspiration and challenge.

 From Our Board of Directors
|
The Board welcomed Amy Taylor, chair of the Ministerial Search Committee (MSC), at the August Board meeting to discuss information the MSC needs from the Board as they begin to pull together legal and financial documents for the search process. As described in the MSC's update in the last Prologue, they will be looking for the congregation's input, so please keep yourselves informed about their activities through their updates in the Prologue, the order of service, on the MSC website, http://search.uubloomington.org/, their cottage meetings, etc. As you know, the MSC is completely independent from the Board in its work, and will keep the Board informed as they keep the congregation informed.
The Board devoted part of its last meeting to planning the annual board retreat, scheduled for October 3, where the Board will reflect on and discern ways to improve governance and staffing in our large church.
The Board is appreciative for everyone's patience as we await the final report from UUA consultant Nancy Heege about her recent visit to the congregation which will be shared with the congregation. The Board will work with the ministers, the staff and congregation to consider the next steps, given her recommendations and what we heard from the congregation as we move forward to enhance the already strong Religious Education (RE) program and other elements of our church life.
We know from Ms. Heege that some cities have multiple UU churches since there are so many different kinds of UUs! Ms. Heege commented publicly and privately that our church has much to be proud of, given the overall health of the congregation--the number of members, attendance at church events, the engagement of the congregation across many activities (e.g., social justice, worship, RE, task forces, committees, and other volunteer activities), a dedicated ministry and staff and an organized ministerial transition.
Thank you to everyone as a new year begins for your flexibility and cooperation in accepting the diverse needs, interests and backgrounds of those who seek out a community here at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington. --Board of Directors

Ministerial Search Committee Report
Latest News: September 6th, 2015
We have been busy meeting together and in sub-committees, working on different tasks simultaneously. We are gathering information to compile for the Congregational Record, one of several postings ministerial candidates will access. Also, we have contacted different groups and scheduled Cottage Meetings where we will ask four questions of the group and practice deep listening for 20-30 minutes. We have already started these.
On October 4th & 11th there will be open Cottage Meetings between services. All members and friends of the congregation are welcome to attend the open meetings. The schedule of Cottage Meetings can be viewed on the 'Events' page of the Search Committee website. Additionally, there will be a survey made available for everyone to complete -- more to come on this later. The Search Committee members have yellow name tags so you can find us at church and there are a variety of ways, including an email address: [email protected], to contact us. You may also send us paper mail at Ministerial Search Committee, UU Church, 2120 N. Fee Lane, Bloomington, IN 47408. Select the 'Contact the MSC' link on the Search Committee website for more ways to reach us.
We want to hear from you!

Vision. I look forward to exploring our congregation's vision of Seeking the Spirit. Building Community. Changing the World. during the month of September.
This simple but powerful vision undergirds the mission of our life together as liberal religious seekers. It is an invitation to deepen our lives within ourselves and within our community. As we are in a time of transition, our vision is like an upside down umbrella boat, floating us down the river of change into new waters.
Vision. If you've attended our last two worship services, either through live streaming or in person, you may have noticed me fiddling with, moreover, wrangling with, my reading glasses. While I was away in July and August, my contact lens prescription went through some changes. In order to enhance my distance vision, I ha
d to give up a bit of my near vision. I still have not adjusted, particularly in the various font sizes I deal with in worship services. Due to the severity of my vision impairment (I started wearing glasses when I was two), I don't have a lot of options. So bear with me (or piglet with me, for those who were present on Sunday) as I regain my vision on all levels.
Peace and Love,
MAM
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin

Welcome to Three More of Our Newest Members
Here are several more of the folks who joined our church as members at our most recent new member ceremony. Our community is richer for their presence and participation. Welcome!
This fall Hannah is starting her junior year at Bloomington South, and is enjoying playing in the school marching band. She is looking forward to a number of things this year, such as beginning new projects with ICEY and South's Solar Racing Team, as well as starting work in child care here at the UU church. She especially enjoys painting, learning Spanish, and going for walks in her free time. Growing up in this community has been a wonderful experience for Hannah, and she is excited to be an official member of the congregation.
Hans Kelson has been living in Bloomington since he was 3 months old, and attending our church since he was 5 years old. He has enjoyed everything he has been a part of - RE, OWL, both youth groups, and had an amazing experience in the Coming of Age program with his wonderful mentor Bob Flynn in 2014-15. Hans is a computer geek and a protector of the environment.

Chalice Circles: The Most Valuable Thing
In the three years my husband, Richard, and I have been coming to this church, we have had the pleasure of belonging to two different Chalice Circles. Each group consisted of about 10 people and met either once or twice a month. A topic for discussion was chosen for each meeting. At the beginning of every meeting, each person was given the opportunity to share something about how they were doing or feeling in general. Then the majority of the meeting was spent focusing on the topic with readings and questions to help get the discussion going. Everyone was allowed to say as much or as little as they wanted to. At the end of the meeting, everyone got a chance to briefly say how they were feeling at that moment. We practiced deep listening (no interruptions or cross talk) and confidentiality. Each Chalice Circle also worked together on one service project for the church and one service project for an outside charity at some point during the year.
The most valuable thing that I got from joining a Chalice Circle was getting to know more people in the congregation and on a deeper level. I still feel close to the people I met through the Chalice Circle, and it has helped make me feel more connected to the church. I recommend joining a Chalice Circle--especially if you are new to the church and don't know many people yet. --Christine Linnemeier

Chalice Circle Testimonial -- More Willing to Really Listen
I participated in a Chalice Circle, led wonderfully by Charlie and Linda Pickle, which met once a month earlier this year. I had thought about joining for a long time, but was not totally comfortable with the idea. What concerned me a little was not the listening, but the talking. As a long-time newspaper journalist, I've become accustomed to listening to people all the time. But I felt a little more uneasy about having a group of people listening to me, without the usual feedback and interaction of normal discussion.
However, I became accustomed to the format and came to enjoy just talking as much or as little as I'd like on the interesting topics we discussed. Most of all, I really got pleasure from hearing other people's point of views and reflections because it made me think about issues in a different way. I also got to know people better who I had met previously and got to know a few others who I didn't know at all. I think each of us was able to share things that were important to us and I believe we gave each other support when needed. I really appreciated the support and kind words of Chalice Circle members when my mother passed away in May.
The experience was a valuable one for me, as it made me more comfortable talking about my views and feelings and more willing to really listen to what people had to say. --Barb Berggoetz

Ushers. And Safety and Security
There are a lot of things that word can mean at a church. At our church, ushers are what we call the safety and security team. At each service, they ensure the safety equipment is in place, pathways are clear, and persons with mobility issues get in and out of the church safely. They also handle things that come up in service from time to time such as people needing assistance during the service, guests arriving at off times, opening/closing doors to manage the flow of people, adjusting thermostats, watching for wandering kids, etc. The ushers are also prepared to assist the ministers and board members with weather or fire-related emergencies and disruptive persons. Overall, it is a very rewarding experience. If you think you may be interested in being an usher, please contact John Summerlot at [email protected].

UU History for You
Lydia Maria (n�e Francis) Child and the fate of history
We are spared the verdict of history after we die and do not know what of our life's work will be remembered and that includes our own families because most of us have no idea of our relatives past our great grandparents. Although I had not encountered her name before, I did recall from my childhood a poem she wrote with a line most of you have heard "Over the river and through the wood, to grandmother's house we go."
Lydia Maria Francis (1802-1880) was the youngest of 7 children born to a Calvinist baker. Lydia's mother died a few years after Lydia was born and her father sent her to live with an older sister. Lydia had a passion to read and was largely self-taught. She became a school teacher and wrote the first American historical novel, Hobomok, on the love of a New England girl and her Native American husband. Lydia had worked with Penobscot Indians when she lived on her oldest sister's farm.
She was drawn to Unitarianism when she heard William Ellery Channing preach, and this sparked an interest in the world's religions. She married a lawyer and became Lydia Maria Child. Her husband was a dreamer and not very practical, so she supported the family with her writings. She wrote a best seller, The Frugal Housewife, describing how she managed their finances. She also articles and books for the Abolitionist movement.
She was shunned by most other publishers because of her advocacy. During the Civil War she wrote The Freed Man's Book which served as a primer for freed slaves learning to read. She wrote biographies of famous women to inspire young girls. She also became a first feminist historian with The History and Condition of Women in Various Ages and Nations. In her later years, she was active with the liberal wing of the Unitarians in Boston.

Reducing our Carbon Footprints, One Step at a Time!
Green Sanctuary Task Force member Molly O'Donnell chairs the Residential Programs Committee of the Monroe County Energy Challenge (MCEC). MCEC will have eleven AmeriCorps volunteers to help do home energy assessments and perform energy-saving tasks in homes of City & County residents. They will be working full time for six weeks, from September 24th to November 6th, and we need to keep them busy and productive!
It would help to have at least one home pre-scheduled each day. Would you be willing to schedule a visit by two to three volunteers to your home? The volunteers will then distribute door hangers to neighboring homes ahead of each visit offering to help your neighbors, too.
Suggested times and dates:
Or would you rather learn what tasks you can do --and practice the needed skills-- but don't want volunteers to come to your home? The Energy Challenge is co-sponsoring a Cut Your Carbon workshop with the Center for Sustainable Living (organized by Molly and her UUCB grounds co-chair Rhonda Baird) on Wednesday October 14th from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. The workshop will be held in the Center for Sustainable Living building on the B-Line Trail, 525 W. Grimes, Bloomington. We will have tools to borrow and materials to practice caulking and other energy-saving skills.

Special Purposes Fund Committee --
Town Hall Meeting on
Fossil Fuel Divestment -- Saturday, September 26
Our Special Purposes Fund (SPF) supports the Church's religious, charitable, educational and civic purposes beyond activities under the normal operating budget, via management of both endowment and general funds. It accepts both direct donations and donations from estates through Planned Giving. In 2014-2015 a donation to the SPF was made by Harv Hegarty and donations were received in memory of Robin Black-Schaffer, Gabe Langdon, and Gene Lawlis. The SPF supplied funds for grounds improvements, Reverend Wadkins' moving expenses, special choir music, and a variety of social justice projects endorsed by the Social Justice Task Force. Details are in the 2015 annual report. In recent years, there has been growing interest in fossil fuel divestment, especially since the announcement at the 2014 General Assembly that the Unitarian Universalist Association has so divested its endowment. The SPF Committee has been reviewing its investments, with special consideration of this possibility. To share its findings and welcome discussion with congregants on this matter, the SPF Committee will hold a Town Hall meeting, Saturday, September 26th, from 10:30 to noon in the church library.
For more information about SPF, please contact Chris Haynes, SPF Committee Chair, [email protected]
