eNews for Wednesday, May 18

5/18/2016

 
To grow restless with who we are helps us move toward our ideals.
Perfection is  impossible, but we all have the potential to be more patient,
​more compassionate, more  open-minded.

~ Stephen Shick
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
To all who attended the UUFCM Annual Meeting last Sunday, we thank you for your thoughtful participation and dedication to our fellowship. We also wish to acknowledge Carol Rard who will be leaving the UUFCM Board at the end of June following her one-year term as trustee, and Dave Macleod who will be leaving after his two-year term as treasurer – we thank you both for your service, humor and grace!

We also wish to congratulate those newly elected to the Board on Sunday – Brigitte Bechtold (one-year term Trustee), Janis Shinn (two-year term Trustee), Christopher Bailey and Ricky Courlander (two-year term sharing the responsibilities of Treasurer). Welcome to our new leaders!

For those unable to attend the meeting on Sunday, a complete report of the business of the meeting will be posted to the UUFCM website soon.

In Worship

This Sunday, May 22, Please join us in worship for a service titled “The Gift of a Postscript,” delivered by
Tom Moffit. 
The service will highlight the world premier of a choral piece entitled “The Fifth Principle”
with the composer, David Wolfson, in attendance.

Upcoming Services:
May 29 - “Forgiveness”

Welcome to UU Class - Sunday, May 29 at 12:00

This month’s “Welcome to UU” orientation session will be held on Sunday, May 29 at 12:00 p.m. following service instead of May 22. This class is for newcomers to Unitarian Universalism as well as those who have been around for a while who want to learn more about this faith…it is also the first step on the “pathway to membership” in this community. Our minister, Dawn Daniels, will facilitate this class.

First Friday Potluck - June 3
We are in need of hosts for two upcoming potlucks: June 3 and August 5. If you are willing to host a potluck, please use this form to sign up or phone Chris Bauerle directly at 989-330-8457. If you enjoy the potlucks, please consider hosting - it is fun and easy!

General Assembly Delegates Needed!
The General Assembly for the Unitarian Universalist Association is June 22-26 in Columbus, Ohio! This is the closest its been in awhile. We need one more person to represent us at Plenary meetings as a delegate. Please contact Annette Pratt for more information (ampratt@cybersingerscafe.com or 989-400-0173).

Volunteers Needed for Summer RE

Volunteers are needed for our Religious Education program for our children for this summer. We need one adult for each Sunday this summer (June through August). Each Sunday you will be provided with the opening ritual, story or brief lesson, and then the children will work on a related craft or work in the garden we are planting on the east side of the building. No preparation is needed; everything will be written out and provided for you to simply arrive at 10:00 on Sunday morning to look over the plan. As well, you will have a teen helper.  Norma Bailey is coordinating this effort, so please contact her (989-560-3952 or baile1nj@cmich.edu) or see her at church on Sunday to sign up.

Interfaith Reproductive Justice Conference - This Friday
The Michigan Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Network (MUUSJN) and the Interfaith Reproductive Justice Coalition are sponsoring an Interfaith Reproductive Justice Conference at the Woodside Church, United Church of Christ, in Flint this Friday, May 20, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be updates on legislation, skills training workshops, issues workshops, and speakers from three national organizations. Registration is $20 (early bird) and is done individually (download the form here). Norma Bailey is  attending, so please contact her if you would like to share rides (989-560-3952 or baile1nj@cmich.edu).

Marching in the Alma Highland Festival Parade - Memorial Day Weekend
We are again going to march in the Alma Highland Festival Parade on Saturday, May 28 (Memorial Day weekend). While the parade starts at 10:30 and is completed by about 11:30, we would need to be there to line up no later than 10:00. Vicki Chessin is organizing us and getting our parade banner ready, so please contact her (vechessin@aol.com) or Norma Bailey (baile1nj@cmich.edu) to join us. We would love to have a large contingent of Mt. Pleasant UUs!
Within the embrace of sacred gathering places, people come together to form
​connections with one another and with that which is holy and life-giving.

~ Rebecca Parker
