"Just Three Things"
The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu wrote that he had "just three things to teach: simplicity, patience and compassion." Today we explore these things, which he referred to as our "greatest treasures."

"Breathe Deeply,...."
When each of us as individuals, and the congregation as a whole, pauses from the everyday busyness of living and takes a deep breath, we discover a deeper perspective on the human role on Planet Earth. Humans have developed ways of Knowing that transcend mere details and events; human Doing occurs within the context of the long-term future and mindful of global impacts. Humans' very existence provides a portal through which the wonder of Being shines through. This sermon will explore ways to enhance these capacities.

"....Act Boldly"
The Human Species is now entering a new era, a time when individuals and organizations, spiritual people and religious congregations, work to foster a mutually enhancing relationship between the human and the non-human realms. Beyond the mere survival, of either our species or of the Planet, this new time has the possibility of thriving beyond any previous expectations and the Human Species has an essential and creative role to play. This sermon will explore ways UUCG can participate in this history-making endeavor.

"Wonders of the Universe
and the Seventh UU Principle"
Have you looked at the night sky recently? The moon, planets and starts have called out to humans since prehistoric times. What have we recently discovered in this universe? Does it mean anything to us? Dennis will share some interesting discoveries in astronomy, and pose some unanswered questions.

"This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things"

Following the Potluck this Summer ...
|
Join us each Wednesday night following our traditional potluck supper for some invigorating conversations, and a bit of Star Trek thrown in for fun. This summer on Wednesday nights, beginning at 7:00 PM, Barbara Hands will lead discussions concerning the four major philosophical ethical theories as they are demonstrated in the widely popular sci-fi series Star Trek. We will delve into The Divine Command Theory, Consequentialism and Virtue Ethics, among others. We will also discuss the idea of "personhood" (philosophically, person and human are not interchangeable). What constitutes a person and when does one gain the rights and privileges of being able to be called a person. If time permits, we will also look into the issue of aging and death with dignity. Sessions will last approximately 90 minutes depending on depth of discussions.
Except as noted, all episodes will be from The Next Generation franchise.
The schedule for the remainder of the summer is:
Ethics
July 6 - "Ethics"
July 13 - "City on the Edge of Forever" (original series)
Personhood and the Enduring Self
July 20 - "The Measure of a Man"
July 27 - "The Offspring"
Aug 3 - "The Host"
The Nature of Reality
Aug 10 - "Elementary Dear Data"
Aug 17 - "Ship in a Bottle"

Cindy Dillard, Youth Religious Education Director
|
During my first years at UUCG, you-our members and friends-have always provided me with a budget that provides for professional development (as well as for RE supplies). Every year, I have spent those funds-with gratitude-on trainings and resources, from which our children and youth have greatly benefited (especially during 2014-15, when all of our children and youth-and their families-were engaged in OWL [Our Whole Lives] Education).
This year, I am experiencing a new level of appreciation for UUCG's financial support of my professional development after participating in my first UUA General Assembly. Please join me (as well as my fellow GA attendees, as they are available) for a potluck lunch after church on Sunday, July 17. Come hear what we learned from our 4,000+ fellow UUs, and the ideas we have for this year and beyond (maybe even into "infinity...! " and beyond, right?) I hope you will be available to break bread with us, visit with us, dream with us and plan with us. For more information, please contact Cindy Dillard (uucgre@att.net).
SUMMER SCHEDULE:
During the summer, children begin in the service at 10:55 a.m.with their families in the Sanctuary. After a story-for-all-ages, children aged pre-school thru 5th grade adjourn to the RE wing to put into practice our UU Principles through cooperative games. The exception is the 2nd Sunday of the month, when our children & youth participate in our monthly justice action project "Taking It T-UU The Streets" (TTS), preparing carebags for the needy. Still putting into practice our UU Principles...just in a different way. Each Sunday, nursery care for our youngest is provided starting at 10:15am. Children/youth older than 5th grade are invited to remain in the service. Youth volunteers are welcome into the classroom after having a conversation with Cindy Dillard, DRE Youth & Children (uucgre@att.net).

From Congregational President Lonnie Houck
|
 For me personally, this last week highlighted the reasons I am involved with a wonderful church. Over the last week, three friends or family members passed away. One was expected. Dan Shannon lost his three-year fight with cancer but the others were not expected. Marie's father, Bernard St. George who many of you had gotten to know from their yearly visits, died at home in Duluth. Another shock was hearing that an old friend from San Jose, Calif., who had been a Chalice Circle leader with me and had decided to become a UU minister, died of a heart attack. This was the Rev. Suzanne Marsh. Having had these losses made it all the more important that I was connected to a loving, supportive community. With Ann Marie moving on to The First Unitarian Society of Plainfield NJ as their Developmental Minister, I want to thank her for her work with us over the last three years. Demonstrating clear boundaries and providing good ministerial support of stewardship were important tasks accomplished during her time with us. Helping us look at our UU identity has moved us forward on developing a mission and vision for ourselves. This important work will be concluded over the next few months.
During the Congregational Meeting in May, we voted to begin the two year process of searching for a called minister. This was an exciting beginning and you will hear more about this process over the next two or three months. Between now and calling a new minister in two years, we have hired a Minister to help us get ready for the next phase in our Congregation's life. The Rev. Diane Dowgiert will become our Interim Minister on August 1 and will also be traveling to Greensboro in early July for apartment hunting and some early meetings with church leadership. I look forward with eagerness for our partnership together.

Our Interim Minister
|
The Interim Minister Search Task Force is delighted to introduce Rev. Diane Dowgiert as our new Interrim Minister.
For the past 10 years, she has been pastor of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson (Arizona). Before that, she led First Unitarian Universalist Society, a 150-year-old congregation in Marietta, Ohio. She served her internship with the UU congregation in Chapel Hill, N.C.
 She told us: "Times of transition are ripe with opportunity for growth and change. The congregations I have served have taught me well what our UU congregations need in order to thrive in the 21st century." Diane's service in Tucson began in 2006. She helped the congregation to stabilize after several turnovers of the pulpit, to improve its organizational structure, to grow, and to revitalize its social justice work. In 2012, the church's ministry, "No More Deaths," was awarded the Wilton Peace Prize for humanitarian efforts to end migrant worker suffering in the deserts of southern Arizona. Two years earlier, the congregation received the Bennett Award for exemplary social justice work.
In contrast to the Tucson church of nearly 300 members, the Marietta congregation had only about 120 members, who had been through several years of conflict. In addition, Rev. Dowgiert helped the members cope with major flooding, which damaged the church building, members' homes, and nearly wiped out the community's business district. By the time she left, the congregation was healthy and stable and the building and grounds were in the best shape they had been in for years.
Before entering the ministry, she worked in social service agencies, a department store and bank, as well as doing community volunteer work and being a stay-home mother.
Rev. Dowgiert's husband of more than 40 years, Al, took early retirement at the same time she entered seminary. She said, "Since then, he's been a supportive minister's spouse, finding work wherever we've been called. Al currently works of the University of Arizona in the Parking and Transportation Department. In the past, he owned and operated a small furniture making business. As he's beginning to think about retirement, he's also developing a new woodworking business. We have two adult sons, a beautiful daugher-in-law, and two adorable cats."

Coffee Volunteers
| |
Volunteers are needed for Coffee Hour. It is a gift of a time and joy we can all share. Anyone can sign up; the sheet is on the bulletin board just outside the kitchen, next to the 'Flowers' sign-up. Serving coffee is easy, and we will be glad to go through it with anyone interested. 
We would like to express a sincere "Thank You!" to the great folks who have volunteered to provide coffee after Sunday service.

Justice Action Team Update | |
Monday Night Dinner at Urban Ministry 
On the first Monday of each month, volunteers from our church and from Hinshaw United Methodist church serve a meal of chili, fruit salad, corn-bean salad and homemade cookies to an appreciative group of residents of the Greensboro Urban Ministry night shelter.
This project depends on the labor of volunteers and financial support from the church budget. Some of the volunteers make cookies and some help with preparing the meal.
If you would like to be part of the crew, contact Ken Knight at oldpeacenik@gmail.com.
TAKING IT T-UU THE STREETS (TTS)
Since Sept 2013, UUCG has been engaged in a justice action project that speaks across boundaries:
- for those who have an extra $5, $10 or $20 dollars, TTS is a project of UUCG that accepts donations to help purchase individual hygiene and non-perishable food items
- for those who aren't able to contribute funds, but who might see a good deal on some granola bars or juice boxes while shopping for their families, TTS is a project of UUCG to which they can drop off those items into the basket in the lobby
- for those who travel a lot (or even a little) and don't need the individual-portioned hotel shampoos, soaps, etc, TTS gladly accepts individual hygiene items for the carebags
- for those who aren't comfortable giving money to those in need, but want to do something to acknowledge the humanity of those standing on the side of the street, TTS provides a carebag of healthy items (as well as a message of kindness, decorated by our children) for you to take with you and distribute when you see those in need
AND
- FOR OUR CHILDREN, WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE EVER PARTICIPATED IN AN ACT OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, TTS gives our youngest a way to think about those who are less fortunate and engage in an action that is safe for them, but also has meaning. TTS is framed around their experiences seeing folks on the side of the road with cardboard signs, and gives them a hands-on activity "to become part of the solution."
Our next Carebag Assembling will take place on Sunday, July 10. For more information, please contact Cindy Dillard (DRE Youth & Children) uucgre@att.net.

Strategic Planning Update
|
Have you heard of the "Enigma" machine? The German engineer Arthur Scherbius invented the Enigma machine at the end of World War I. The German military used the machine to encipher messages. As the chair of the Strategic Planning Committee, the process of coming up with a new vision and mission statement feels somewhat like deciphering the messages that we have heard from the congregation through the surveys and listening circles and condensing these messages into a couple of short sentences.
Our committee has collaboratively crafted this first draft of the mission and vision, but we all carry around our own cipher. Up to the point when this article was due, we could not all agree on just ONE version.
Therefore, I am asking all of you to take some time to think about this first draft of the vision and mission over the summer. If the timeline works out and we'll get an interim minister starting on August 1st, 2016, we'll present the new minister with this draft and he/she will have a chance to look at it with fresh eyes and see if our draft matches what he/she actually observes at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro.
Our next listening session will be in early fall. We appreciate your patience with us, and we hope you will continue to support our strategic planning work!
Draft of the vision: The Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro is a place of religious worship, spirituality, learning, and community service. Our church is inclusive, based on love, compassion, responsibility, shared power, and respect for all people, places, and things. We provide a safe place for families and individuals wanting a religion based on principles rather than creed, and discussion rather than dogma. We aspire to be an attractive, thought-provoking and adventurous place to worship, providing many opportunities for our members to participate in the church and local community. MISSION: Love +Learning = Service

Board of Trustees
|
Highlights of the June 16, 2016 UUCG Board of Trustees Meeting - Karen Madrone, President, welcomed incoming 2016-17 Board members: Nora Byrd, Jeff Gauger, Lonnie Houck and Mary Alice Knight. Departing Board members, Karen Madrone, Sue Beck and Michelle Lee, were presented with certificates of appreciation for their service on the Board. Karen mentioned having arranged an opportunity at UUA General Assembly for our interim minister, Rev. Diane Dowgiert, to have lunch with UUCG members attending GA. Karen also invited Board members to meet Rev. Diane Dowgiert, at the July 6 potluck during her 3-day introductory visit to Greensboro.
- Rev. Ann Marie Alderman reported that Worship Team has planned all worship services through the end of August. She also noted the vigil on Friday night, June 17, for Orlando lives lost and that it would be in the Memorial Garden, weather permitting. She gave the year-end report about the Minister's Discretionary Fund.
- The Board approved the following resolution to express appreciation for the work of the Developmental Taskforce:
The members of the Unitarian Universalist Board of Trustees would like to thank the members of the Developmental Ministry Team for their work over the past three years. Members of the team are Marty Bergman, Betsy Lindsey, Steve Andrews and Tim Leisman. (Joan Skokan left the church last summer.) Your hard work in providing historical perspective and a safe space for reflecting upon the minister's and the congregation's progress toward the Developmental Ministry goals was instrumental in the Reverend Ann Marie Alderman's successful time as our Developmental Minister. The Board recognizes your efforts and thanks you for a job well done. - Susan Hill, Treasurer, reviewed the financial reports, noting that operating income is currently slightly more than expenses.. This is partly because we received the biannual bank lease money and an $800 annual refund from Duke Energy on our equal payment plan. The special fundraiser has also brought in $2,500 so far. At the end of July, all members will receive their annual 2015-16 pledge statements.
- The Board approved the Policy Book.
- A motion was tabled, following additional discussion of a proposal from Piedmont Interfaith Conservation Burial Society that UUCG consider accepting land from PICBUS, should it become available in the future.
- Katie Klod, Smoking Task Force Chair, updated the Board about STF goals and status.
The next Board meeting will be Thursday, July 21, at 7:00 pm and is open to all.

 Every Vote Counts
It is important that all citizens have the ability to vote, to be heard and involved. Therefore, the Shepherd's Center of Greensboro is helping older adults getphoto ID cards from the Department of Motor Vehicles, or in some cases help seniors get absentee ballots before the 2016 general election.
There is no absolutely no charge for this service. This project is consistent with the Shepherd's Center mission statement: To help older adults pursue
independent and active lives of purpose.
If you would like to volunteer to assist older adults to get a photo ID card oran absentee ballot please call the Shepherd's Center at 336-378-0766 to volunteer. It's not difficult...and you may find it very satisfying.
If you or someone you know needs a photo ID or help with absentee ballot registrations, please call the Shepherd's Center at 336-378-0766 and give the person's name, phone number or email to our team. Someone from Shepherd's Center will contact everyone on the list and review the materials they need plus
arrange availability to go to DMV. Screened volunteers will assist with transportation and materials.
Voting is a one of our most basic duties as citizens. We believe everyone who wants to vote should be able to. No one should be denied because they lack a free Photo ID card. If you would like help please sign up today.
