9:30 a.m. Discussion Group
For the pre-service discussion this week Carol will lead a talk about art in our lives–what art forms we care about, or specific works of art, and what art gives us–including crafts or art forms such as cooking.  I’d also invite people to bring works of art to share.

And here are some quotes to get the discussion started:

“Art is the means we have of undoing the damage of haste.”  
Theodore Roethke

“Even sad music requires an absolute happiness.” 
Galway Kinnell

“An artist is someone who knows how to use the accidents.”
Pablo Picasso

“It is difficult to get the news from poems, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.”   William Carlos Williams

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way–things I had no words for.”  Georgia O’Keeffe

“How do I know what I mean until I see what I say?”  E. M. Forster

“Poetry is the cat concert under the window of the room in which the official version of reality is taking place.”  Tom McGrath
10:30 a.m. Worship Service
Rev. Patt Herdklotz will lead a Flower Communion service. Bring a flower from your garden to share in the ritual of creating a bouquet for this traditional service.

John Harrison will lead this discussion. Please read the following:

We hear of people whose world view has changed after life threatening experiences, perhaps developing a sense of peace, tranquility or the like. It has been suggested that in order to live fully, each of us should develop a sense of “eschatological urgency”; as in eschaton, referring to the End Times – and in this context referring to our own personal end times. How have you or might you embrace such a concept? Do you think it would prove useful? And, taking a logical step, what do you think comes “Next”? 
An article last year in UU World Magazine touched on this second idea.

10:30 a.m. Worship Service
Member Lee Harris will offer a “This I Believe” service. She will present her view on what she has learned from family members.

Hello everyone.

I am creating a contact list/booklet for distribution among UU Fellowship members and friends. If you DO NOT want your information available to this group, please contact me. You will still receive UU emails; I will just remove you from the printed list.

Thanks,

Julia Jackman

Greetings Fellowshippers!
A reminder that following our service on Sunday we will have a potluck lunch and then our Annual Meeting. All are welcome to attend, but members are strongly encouraged to come. General Fellowship business will be introduced and attended to, with approval being required for some items. We need at least 30 percent of actual members in order to vote on items requiring approval from congregation. A meeting agenda will be emailed to you by tomorrow.
Also, Rev. Patt will be honoring those who wish to become honest-to-God/s UUFKC members. There will be a member pledge, and signing in the membership book. A few nice UU things will be provided to these individuals. Hope to see lots of new signatures!
Discussion Group, 9:45 a.m.
Mika Cottier will be leading discussion. Her topic for the day: Walt Whitman writes in the Preface to the Leaves of Grass: “…re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem…”
What have you dismissed? Or more importantly, after your dismissal what teachings remain in your soul?  If you like, please expand on this in the form of an obituary to pass your learning to others in our community.
Worship Service, 10:30 a.m.

“Loving the Earth” is the topic of Rev. Patt’s sermon, focusing on Earth Day. She asks us to consider how we go about loving the Earth, and how it relates to the UU 7th Principle.

LUNCH BREAK, 12:00 NOON


Annual Meeting, 12:30 p.m. 

Tomorrow Morning at the UU Fellowship!!!

I am so sorry everyone, I did not sit down at my computer this week and so this is very late…but, in case you are on your computers tonight or early tomorrow, here is the discussion topic information:

Maryann Lundin will be leading the discussion.

Topic:  Discovering Self

The 4th UU principle is “ A free and responsible search for meaning.”   This ties into the UU identity of individuality and self-expression. 

For this discussion let’s explore our Self, our individuality, and how we express it. 

 

From the article “Doing Good by Knowing Who You Are” by Charles N. Seashore, Mary Nash Shawver, Greg Thompson, and Marty Mattere: 

                “Margeret Mead has said ‘Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world .  For indeed, that’s all who ever have.’  For some of us, Mead’s words evoke the passion, the urge and the belief that, by paying close attention to what is going on inside us, clearly perceiving the limitless world beyond our Self, we can substantially increase our own capacity to contribute to the common good while engaging in the process of individuation and self-differentiation – the unfolding of our unique Selves over the course of a lifetime. “

 

What are the values that define your personal Self? 

What are the goals that define your personal Self? 

How is your personal Self expressed in your life?
