March 17 Lessons from Dr. Seuss "Worship for all ages" Barbara Hands
March 24 Aggressively Pursuing the Sacred Abby Donnelly
"Aggressively pursuing the sacred... Yeah... not so fast...": What attracted me to the Quaker retreat was the title, The Sacred Art of Spiritual Discernment. It sounded perfect! I needed to find the sacred and put a plan in place to get more of that in my life. I needed to learn the steps and get to it! But by the end of the first day, I worried it wasn't there -- or I couldn't find it! And then I started to see... it's not in the aggressive pursuit that we find it. We find it in our willingness to be open, our attentiveness to what surrounds us, and our responsiveness to the single next right step. That is all we can ever do. And that is the lesson I learned, try to live, and will share with you

From Rev. Posa

George Carlin, the popular comedian, had a famous stand-up routine in the 1970s about the seven dirty words you couldn't say on television. I won't repeat those words here (though most of them now are used on cable television regularly). But I've known some Unitarian Universalists who've adapted this bit of humor, and developed "The Seven Words You Can't Say in a UU Church." The idea is simple: these words are traditional theological terms, which many UUs reject because we've moved past the theological concepts they imply. (Or so such folk argue; sometimes they're right, but not always.) Which seven theological terms are chosen may vary from one congregation to the next; for what it's worth, though, here's my list:
God, faith, grace, salvation, resurrection, sin, evangelism
I'm sure some of you could identify other terms that fit the criteria just as well. The point is, maybe you have strong reactions - understandably - when hearing these (or similar) terms, because you've always heard the words used in the context of a belief system that you no longer (or never did) accept. I find, though, that even while I reject the meanings assigned to these terms by religious conservatives, all of these terms, in a liberal religious context, can and do express concepts that many UUs can accept. I call it "translating."
But why bother translating these terms? Can't we use other terms, or won't people misunderstand how we're using them? I find explaining our liberal religion to others is more effective when I use these terms, and explain how we mean different things by "God," "faith," etc. than some folk...but also how our views are similar to others. This engages others in aspects of religion specific and familiar to non-UUs, to which they can relate more easily than an out-of-context discussion of our Principles. Plus, this can open further dialogue, moving past initial false assumptions to a fuller understanding of Unitarian Universalism. For us, exploring a more traditional religious vocabulary is a useful way to consider our own individual and collective theological views in more depth. By starting with classic Christian concepts, and exploring what views of grace, salvation, etc. we disagree with but also which aspects we can accept, and how we can find new ways to make such terms meaningful in our own spiritual lives, we can explore deeply what our views are, and how they inform and enrich us.
And explore we will, in the Adult Religious Education class on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM, starting March 3, and continuing through mid-April. Each Sunday, we'll take one of these terms, consider how they're often used in our culture negatively, what they might mean for religious liberals positively, and how they can communicate core aspects of liberal religious thought and values to others. Please join us.

From Cindy Dillard, RE Coordinator

I was greeted this morning at church by color-drenched daffodils and crocuses. It was a welcome reminder that spring is coming (a bit earlier here in North Carolina than in my previous home state of Ohio). For a number of years, a big part of my springtime life has been celebrating Passover with a seder, a communal celebratory meal accompanied by a story of courage. My first experiences were during the seven years I worked at Temple Israel, one of the five founding congregations of the Reform Jewish movement. For each of those years, Tom, Audrey and I were guests at the senior rabbi's home for the second night seder. We read - taking turns - the Passover story of having the courage to stand up for justice and freedom. And we enjoyed "exotic" foods such as matzah bread, gefilte fish, and charoset, and we sang joyous songs like "Dayenu." When I found UU at the First UU Church of Columbus OH, I was delighted to continue to celebrate Passover in a seder, which is in keeping with our UU ideals - that we honor our Jewish and Christian roots, and that we raise our voices for justice.
Carrying forward my personal springtime "heritage" from Temple Israel and First UU Church to UUCG, I invite everyone to a congregational seder, Saturday, March 23, 6-8pm. Cost: $5 per adult, $3 per child. Affikomen (for children) complimentary. Anyone interested in helping with our congregational seder, please e-mail me: uucgre@att.net. Please consider joining our observation of an age-old celebration of this celebration of freedom.
Namaste,
Cindy Dillard

From the Congregational President - Charlotte Hamlin
|
Outside my window, spring is in the air as flowers bloom, birds sing, and nature prepares itself for new growth and renewal. I feel the same sense of new growth and revitalization at UUCG in uplifting creative programs that lift our hearts and spirits through word and music, caring people who lovingly reach out to congregants in need and the community, and individuals and groups who donate their time to work at projects and services that support our church. Strong signs of renewal and planning for a bright future are seen in two groups planning for next year: 1) the Strategic Planning Committee now working with the Coordinating Council to present two workshops in late March under Elaine Stover's leadership to involve all church teams and committees in planning specific ways to implement the Strategic Directions from last fall's workshops, and 2) the Developmental Focus Task Force led by Katja Brown which is engaging the congregation in identifying "developmental focus" issues for sustained attention over a 3-5 year period to specify in the application for the Developmental Minister due by April 1st. The Board makes available Information about the work of these groups, and I invite your comments and suggestions to myself or any member of these groups. The Board owes special thanks to several standings committees whose sustained work has led to proposals for Board consideration, including a proposed Employee Personnel Manual from the Human Resources Committee chaired by Nick Divitci, proposed changes in membership criteria from the Governance Task Force co-chaired by Sharin Francis and Hope McLean, and a program to engage the Board in developing a Behavioral Covenant led by Marie Houck of the Healthy Congregations Committee. Compassionate Communication classes by Sue Beck and Mediation classes by Donya Lucas are underway, and the Policies and Procedures Committee led by Michelle Lee reported to the Board in January on its important ongoing work. The Board is also grateful to Nelson Stover and the Annual Commitment Time (ACT) Committee which is working with the Finance Committee to secure financial commitments for next year's budget. The financial contribution of our members will make it possible to accomplish our collective goals with renewed energy focus and commitment to UUCG and a brighter future... With your support and involvement, spring initiatives at UUCG will lead to a stronger, more vital congregation and resources to fulfill our mission. Charlotte Hamlin, congregational president

Compassionate Communication Practice
| 
Have you ever held a political or social office in which you were responsible for the needs of others? Actually, every one of us holds such a position: it is called the governor of the "State of Me." You are responsible for overseeing all that happens in your territory.
One important category of human needs, according to Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, is autonomy. He explains this as "the need to choose one's dreams, goals and values. And the need to choose one's plan for fulfilling one's dreams, goals and values." Being governor of the State of Me requires that you take the time to understand what your dreams, goals and values are, so you can manage them effectively. With this knowledge, your territory will be at peace. As spokesperson for your State, you will be able to communicate compassionately with surrounding regions.
Join us as we investigate Needs using "Grok" cards. Sunday, March 3 at 9 am or Thursday, March 7 at 7 pm.

Toward a New Behavioral Covenant
| 
A few months back, the Board accepted the proposal from the Congregational Culture Task Force to form a Healthy Congregations Team which would (among other things) develop a new Behavioral Covenant for our congregation, work which needs to be revisited periodically. I have been given the task of leading that work, and among other books have read Gil Rendle's Behavioral Covenants in Congregations. Rendle is in agreement with others when he says that this work must start with leadership in the congregation, so the Board has agreed to begin working on this by spending twenty minutes in each of five consecutive Board meetings working on this particular issue. In addition to that work, I will lead a one day session for anyone in the congregation to attend on a Saturday in April or May.
The Board began their exploration of this subject by reading and discussing an article from Rendle's book titled "Holy Manners: The Spiritual Politeness of Healthy Congregations". Rendle says that there are three realms of behavior: that which is governed by law, that which is completely governed by individual choice, and a middle ground which he says is governed by "obedience to the unenforceable". This is the realm that he calls "holy manners", and he says the church can play an important role in encouraging holy manners in the congregation. The Board discussed how our current culture may encourage the opposite, and how that effects our congregation. Next month, we will share stories of both healthy and unhealthy behaviors in our congregation, to begin to understand our own congregational norms.
If any of you are interested in reading the article the Board discussed, feel free to contact me at marie.houck@gmail.com, and I will send you a copy of the article. I can also print out copies if necessary. Feel free to contact me, or any members of the Healthy Congregation Team about this ongoing work.

Many Hands opportunities in March
| 
For UUCG our mission of creating a welcoming and supportive spiritual community means providing a beacon for people of different beliefs who seek a faith community with an open mind. It has been said that a smile is the light in the window of your soul. While this is true, another way to keep the light shining in our collective window is to share your time and talent.
We are grateful to folks who helped with set up and clean up for the International Dinner, as well as to those who participated in the church workday. And we want to highlight some volunteer opportunities in March and invite you to participate.

Preparing for the UUCG's Annual Meeting
|
At our annual meeting in May, the congregation will elect a new Treasurer, Secretary, two Board of Trustees members, and one member of the Committee on Endowment. From February through April, the Committee on Leadership Development will be identifying members to run for these offices. We are seeking members of the congregation who will provide strong leadership to help UUCG continue to make changes in our governance and culture to enhance the health of the congregation and help prepare us for a new developmental minister.
If you have a desire to serve the church, know someone who does, or if you have recommendations for others, please contact a member of the committee and/or fill out one of the nomination forms that will be at the church on Sunday mornings.
On the fence? Thinking about running but wonder what serving on the Board is like? Talk with one of our current Board members; their names and photographs are on the bulletin board in the hall outside the kitchen. Talk with someone who has served in the past. You'll hear what a rewarding and, yes, at times challenging experience it is. Service to the congregation is an important way that we act on one of the 7 UU Principles, "the use of the democratic process within our congregations."
In addition, nominations for the Committee on Leadership Development will be made from the floor and elected at the May meeting, so be thinking of and talking with people you believe would be effective members and willing to serve in that capacity.
Thank you for your help in assuring that UUCG has strong leadership in the coming year,

Mediation Theories and Practices
|
UUCG Church Member and Nursery Care Coordinator, Donya Lucas, will be offering a free class, Mediation Theories and Practices on Thursdays from 6pm to 8pm, January through May, as part of a graduation requirement from the Masters in Peace and Conflict Studies at UNCG. The class will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro. A childcare rotation could be established by interested parents. Donya will maintain a list of interested families.
Whenever students are given opportunities to tryout some of the skills they have learned there will be a reflection and feedback period following the practice, for students to explore what worked well and might not have worked as well. Mediators need to learn how to think on their feet and the more tools they have readily at their disposal, they better able they will be to navigate an unfolding mediation session.
The class will involve a lot of discussion of the readings. The readings and discussion will be very important in helping students understand the philosophical underpinnings of the various forms of practice. The discussions should be particularly helpful for students seeking to orient their own values with the various forms of practice. There will be many opportunities to practice various skills and the process as a whole, in role-plays. Those who want to continue their study of mediation beyond this class will be invited to form a UUCG team of lay mediators.
We will be studying Narrative Mediation, Transformative Mediation and Facilitative Mediation. We will also be learning how to use mediation and conflict resolution skills with children. My hope is that this class will be a collaboration, wherein students will be responsible for their own learning and where we all help each other learn. This means that if you miss a few classes, then your classmates will help you and help each other review what they have learned by bringing you up to speed. Students will be asked to pick a chapter to create some discussion questions for. Then students will practice facilitating the class discussion using the discussion questions. This will help students get comfortable facilitating, asking good questions, supporting the conversation, reflecting and summarizing.
Please come out and join us. Books can be ordered on-line. Some spare copies may be available through RE. They will be kept in Cindy Dillard's office. We welcome people who can't make it every week or who would like to join at any point during the semester.
