Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Wayne County A Member Congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association

October Service Schedule Sunday services are at 9:30am and 11:00am

Join us for coffee after the service.

October 1: Hospitality: More Than Just Making Friends [Commissioned Lay Ministers Steve Cook & Gail Woosley; Student Minister: Drew Frantz]

We begin the monthly theme of Hospitality this week. How are we welcoming and hospitable as individuals, as a church, and as a society? How can we grow in hospitality? Each of the three worship leaders will offer a different perspective on this topic: one at the personal level, one at the church level, and one at the level of society at large.

October 8: Hospitality in Focus [Rev. Elaine Strawn] Hospitality has so many meanings. “Will you come to dinner?” “Come in from the cold.” “Let me offer you sanctuary from homelessness, deportation, loneliness.” What does it mean to you? Where have you experienced hospitality? When have you offered hospitality?.

October 15: Whoever You Are [Chelsea Churpek, Deleasa Randall-Griffiths & Rev Elaine Strawn]

Really. Whoever you are, we welcome you. This multi-generation service will feature a Shel Silverstein story, creating words in many languages, and focus on welcoming our neighbors

October 22: Bound by Convenant [Membership Committee and Rev. Elaine Strawn]

If we don’t have a creed, what holds us together? Covenant, of course! Our determination and promise to stay here through good and bad, to create a community of support and growth, to find meaning together. It’s not easy; but it’s rich. We welcome new members in the services this morning.

October 29: Samhain [Sue Kandel, Marti Livingstone, Gail Carter, Kat Gibbons]

The highest holy day of the Pagan year is Samhain, New Year. We remember, celebrate, honor.

The Minister’s Column

Hospitality Our theme this month could not be more appropriate. All the news of hurricanes and earthquakes forcing people from their homes highlights devastation-and hope, as strangers come with boats and food and help. The news of immigration and DACA sends chills through us, imagining the horror of being torn from family and deported. And hope comes from the stories of sanctuary offered (even offered by one of our neighboring UU congregations). Welcome the stranger, for we have all been strangers at one time in our lives. We will focus on all of these things and more as we ask ourselves what role we must play in embodying Hospitality in the world around us. Note: There will be a special collection on Sunday, October 8. The funds will be sent to the Unitarian Universalist Association for their work assisting those whose lives were devastated by earthquakes in Mexico, and hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Harvey.

We’re excited to welcome Drew Frantz as our Student Minister. He started on September 1st and will be serving the Fellowship 20 hours per week for the next two years. So far Drew is involved in religious education, small group discussions, membership, and pastoral care. He will also lead Sunday services occasionally, beginning October 1st. Drew is working on his Master of Divinity degree at Meadville Lombard Theological Seminary and recently moved to Wooster. He comes to us from the Oberlin UU Fellowship, where he has been a member for 16 years.

Small Groups The Small Groups are still accepting new members this month. Want to connect with other UUs over meaningful conversations? Talk with Elaine Strawn or Drew Frantz. These groups focus on the mantra, “Intimacy and Ultimacy.” They are small groups [8-10] of adults meeting monthly to reflect, share, focus. There are sessions during the day and evening.

New UU Class Want to know more about our beloved tradition? Join Drew Frantz and Rev. Elaine Strawn for a two session class on Wednesday October 11 and 18 at 7:00pm. We’ll pick-up where UU Inquiry ended, covering the beginnings of our religious tradition, outstanding people in our history, our wide theological perspectives-all grounded in our covenant—and how we “operate.” The sessions are geared toward information and interaction. Join us! Sign up in the connections table or speak with Drew or Elaine.

Our Theme Wall As you know, each month brings a different theme for us to engage. September’s Beauty is followed by October’s Hospitality. The west wall of our Great Room shows this theme through framed photography, graphics, poetry, etc. We’d love to see your ideas and art! Talk to Anne or Elaine. And by all means, stop by the wall...things are always changing.

From the Board President

On Sunday, September 24, we as a congregation voted to make a space for public witness. We have a history of proclaiming our faith in the public sphere: in vigils in downtown Wooster, marches in Columbus and Washington, meetings with elected officials, serving on committees and task forces for social change. Now, our “business sign” on Burbank Road will announce not only our name but some of the things for which we stand.

This was the initial vote, conducted by ballot and by official members of the congregation: 53 votes to change, 19 votes to keep the current sign unchanged. It will now read (in the same colors as the rest of the sign), “UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST Fellowship of Wayne County In This House, We” and then have a 2nd phrase that changes monthly - or in response to an event.

25 phrases of Social Witness have been suggested by you, recommended by the Racial Justice Team and approved by the Board. We ask that members and friends of the congregation vote now to select 12 of those phrases. Each month, one of the approved phrases will be placed on our sign. This voting is open to both official members and active friends. You should have received an email from our office on Sunday inviting you to vote online. If it’s easier for you to vote by paper ballot, please contact the office, or pick up a ballot on Sunday morning, October 1. The deadline for this voting is October 3.

This process began in May 2016. The Racial Justice Team has conducted discussions, workshops, and requested your input from that time until now. It has not been a quick decision and that is appropriate. Because social policies and crises change over time, this process will have a certain open-endedness. It is not perfect, but it has been thoughtful, deliberative, and responsive. Thank you for your patience, your courage, and your insight.

Religious Education It is always so wonderful to see your children and youth on Sunday mornings. Our volunteer facilitators do an incredible job of teaching the curricula and adding their own creativity and passion to lessons. But Religious Education doesn’t stop there. We teach our kids in RE that we take our Principles outside of the Fellowship walls, too – with an open mind, loving heart and helping hands.

Recognizing that parents are children’s primary religious educators, we want to support your family in having meaningful conversations throughout the week. Beginning this year, registered caregivers will receive a brief weekly email designed to let you know what was discussed in RE classes and ways to incorporate the lesson into family activities in the week ahead.

Not only will registering your child(ren) ensure you get this information and that we have the most up-to-date information on your child, it also helps our program!

Having an accurate roster gives our church, and the wider UUA, a truer reflection of who, and how many, our RE program serves (then also increasing the odds of getting the resources we need to run a big program like ours). So please, register your children and youth. You can do that here: https://form.jotform.com/22845534553154 or on a paper form in my office.

For information about Religious Education, please contact Chelsea Churpek, Director of Religious Education

A Message from Youth Community—Grades 7-12

Recap for September

Members of Youth Community began the journey of learning, growing, and serving during the month of September. On September 10, twelve members of Youth Community gathered for a Welcome Cookout at the UUFWC. We enjoyed getting to know each other during a community meal, mixer games, and a lively, unconventional Quidditch match. In RE (Religious Education), the middle school class began Building Bridges, a curriculum exploring global religious traditions and Unitarian Universalism. Eight high school youth, along with their mentors, began Coming of Age. Coming of Age is a Unitarian Universalist program in which a congregation fosters the transition of its youth into young adulthood. The high school youth will also participate in Bringing the Web to Life, a youth ministry and leadership development curriculum.

New for October

Evie Meade, a member of the senior high class, will attend the OMD (Ohio-Meadville District) Senior High “Self-Care Con” the weekend of September 29 through October 1 at the UU Church of the North Hills in Pittsburgh. Nancy Hurt is sponsoring Evie. Youth Cons are a time for youth to socialize and have fun in a safe environment with other Unitarian Universalist youth in our district or region. Cons run from Friday evening through Sunday morning and are an overnight event for 80-100 youth and adult sponsors. Youth Cons have a blend of social or free time, worship, workshops, and a social justice or service experience.

On Thursday, October 26, members of Youth Community are invited to an evening of pizza and pumpkin carving from 5:00pm to 8:00pm at the UUFWC. Youth are welcome to drop in any time during the evening for a pizza dinner, pumpkin carving, and fellowship. Youth are welcome to bring their own pumpkins, or you may contact Dawn by Wednesday, October 25, and she will pick one up for you. The pumpkins we carve will be used to decorate the Great Room during the Samhain Service on Sunday, October 29.

The middle and high school classes will take a “field trip” within the walls the UUFWC, as Building Bridges and Coming of Age will both observe the Samhain Service on Sunday, October 29. This will conclude a month of learning about and reflecting on Earth-Centered traditions.

If you would like to learn more about Youth Community, you may reach Dawn Frank, Youth and Campus Ministries Coordinator.

Social Action In Action

OPEN PLATE COLLECTION for OCTOBER 29th will be donated to our own UUFWC Emergency Fund. This fund enables us to be of service and support to fellow congregants as unforeseen needs may and do arise. We have never hesitated to give generously to this cause. It is the evidence of our caring heart.

PEOPLE TO PEOPLE SUNDAY is OCTOBER 15th. We will be collecting jars of peanut butter and jelly for the food pantry. Donate a jar or a case. As always, cash is welcome. Make checks payable to People to People.

WHAT DOES THE SOCIAL ACTION COMMITTEE DO? PART I: Although the Social Action Committee often seems to operate under the radar, its mission is to coordinate and support UUFWC efforts to address issues concerning social justice, the environment, community health, and the provision of basic needs.

Through its many working groups, it provides goods and services directly to our local community in support of our First Principle, the inherent worth and dignity of every person; offers environmental stewardship programs to follow our Seventh Principle, to respect the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part; joins with other groups and individuals in supporting social justice issues affecting our greater community in keeping with our Second Principle, justice, equity and compassion in human relations; supports national and international social justice organizations guided by our Sixth Principle, the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all; and provides opportunities for learning in pursuit of our Fourth Principle, a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Future columns will explore the specific activities that address these social justice issues.

All Things Green

BUYING GREEN what the fine print on labels means:

Biodegradable: The Federal Trade Commission defines “Biodegradable” as a substance that has been scientifically proven to break down entirely and return to nature: i.e. decompose into elements found in nature within a reasonably short period of time after disposal.

Biodegradable (Cleaners and Solvents): Most detergents and soluble chemicals degrade in wastewater systems, but when they break down and what they breakdown into is what separates eco-friendly biodegradable liquids from the not so friendly. If you read “Biodegradable” on a package, keep reading. Look for indications that the product is also made up of nontoxic, renewable ingredients that will break down quickly without deleterious effects on the environment into which treated wastewater is discharged.

Biodegradable (Solids): Biodegradable products, although better than nonbiodegradable ones, still face serious impediments to decomposing in landfills. To biodegrade, sunlight, air and water must be present, but by law, our landfills are designed to keep sunlight, air and moisture out to avoid pollutants from the landfill entering the air and drinking water. Deprived of what they need to biodegrade, even food and paper can take decades to decompose in a landfill. Buy biodegradable products, but don’t let this be the only thing you do to moderate persistent waste. Rely primarily on reduction, reuse, recycling and composting as a means of reducing solid waste.

Library News

Listed below are two new UUFWC library titles accompanied by descriptions from the books’ back covers:

PAGAN AND EARTH-CENTERED VOICES IN UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISM Edited by Jerrie Kishpaugh Hildebrand and Shirley Ann Ranck 230.9132 Kish 2017

“These 23 essays by some of the most prominent leaders in Unitarian Universalist Paganism bring Pagan and Earth-centered thea/ology to life for a new generation. Featuring the writings of both clergy and laypeople, this vibrant collection demonstrates the many expressions of nature-based spirituality and the ways they feed the souls of so many. The essayists describe a broad array of practices, including Wiccan traditions, Neo-Pagan rituals and celebrations, worship of the divine feminine, and nature-based beliefs and practices that bring us into harmony and balance with our natural environment. Contributors also describe the development of nature-based thea/ology within Unitarian Universalism – including the organization of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans, the addition of the sixth Source to the UUA bylaws recognizing Earth-centered spirituality, and the integration of Pagan practices into congregational life.”

SCIENCE AND RELIGION: 5 QUESTIONS Edited by Gregg D. Caruso 215 Caru 2014

“Are science and religion compatible when it comes to understanding cosmology (the origin of the universe), biology (the origin of life and of the human species), ethics, and the human mind (minds, brains, souls, and free will)? Do science and religion occupy non-overlapping magisteria? Is Intelligent Design a scientific theory? How do the various faith traditions view the relationship between science and religion? What, if any, are the limits of scientific explanation? What are the most important open questions, problems, or challenges confronting the relationship between science and religion, and what are the prospects for progress? These and other questions are explored in Science and Religion: 5 Questions – a collection of thirty-three interviews based on 5 questions presented to some of the world’s most influential and prominent philosophers, scientists, theologians, apologists, and atheists.”
