    The day-to-day life of our fellowship is the glue that holds our spiritual community together. Unitarian Universalismapproaches the more "secular" aspects of fellowship life with the same religious intent as it's worship. Our religiouseducation classes, adult activities groups, community volunteerism and building facilities committees are essential asp

    of our spiritual work. We believe it is our deeds, not our creeds, which are most important.

    Volunteer opportunities abound! Please consider signing up for coffee service, greeter, shoveling, or any other activityjob that helps to keep our fellowship moving forward and running smoothly.

    Volunteer sign up sheets are in the coat roomThanks for all your help!

    ADULT RELIGIOUS EDUCATION BUILD YOUR OWN THEOLOGY PART TWO

    Building Your Own Theology Session 6 will be held Tuesday, February 12, 6:30. Dan Fischer will facilitate the discussion on

    Justice and the Beloved Community: What Is Our Place in the World? All are welcome to attend. Please e-mail Jean Biegun if

    you would like to receive a copy of the lesson ([email protected]). The homework reading in the study guides ends with this quote

    from the late Nick Cardell, a Unitarian Universalist minister who campaigned to close the School of the Americas, a training facilit

    for Latin American police and military implicated in violation of human rights in their home countries. He served six months for hicivil disobedience at Fort Benning, Ga.

    "Sometimes Im asked how or why I got involved in this cause. One easy answer is because what we do to each other is my

    business. These peoplevictims and victimizersare my people. And there is also a very personal need. When I was a youngste

    I scratched my initials into the middle of the highest steel girder on a bridge leading into and out of New York City. No one knows

    is there. But I do! In my adult life I have wanted to find life-affirming ways to write my initials on the tree of life. As poet Mary

    Oliver put it: I dont want to end up simply having visited this world.

    *****************************************************************************************************LUUF ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP

    Several LUUFers committed to the importance of our 7th Principle (Respect for the interdependent web of allexistence of which we are a part) met in October 2012 to form the LUUF Environmental Group. The groupsmission is to plan and coordinate environmental activities at our fellowship, encourage sustainable living practices atLUUF, join with other local environmental groups for events and action, and foster increased ecological awarenessamong members and friends.

    You may have noticed already that with the new year the group is submitting a "Green Tip" in our Sunday Order ofService, and in case you miss them, we'll repeat in our newsletter the month's "Green Tips," many from scientists witWI Department of Natural Resources. We hope to keep you informed of other environmental education opportunitiein the area too. Save Thursday March7th for a presentation on climate change at the Maritime Museum. SusanLoomans will present The Climate Reality Project at 6:30, with discussion to follow. Check out

    http://climaterealityproject.org/2012/03/21/meet-the-presenter-susan-loomans. Youll be impressed!

    Our group is lookingat curriculum resources to assist our focus: the UUA and other UU groups, previous City ofManitowoc programs, state, national and international programs. Issues for discussion or action are numerous-everything from climate change and environmental justice to what we buy at the grocery store, so well try willnarrow it down for both meaning and manageability.

    We ask the LUUF Board to consider sustainability first in any decision-making for the facility, and we ask everyone toshare concerns, questions, and ideas on what you'd like to see from the Environmental Group- even a new "catchier"name! Let Bev or Bonnita know your ideas. Our next meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 26th at 3:30 at LUUF. If that timedoesnt work for anyone who might want to participate, well change it. Everyone is welcome.

    Green Tips from the past month:*Happy New Year! Start off 2013 right and environmentally responsible with a plan on how you can reduce your impact on our

    environment. Make reducing air emissions a resolution for 2013.

    *Happy New Year! Its national Staying Healthy Month! Try walking or biking to work or school. Its healthy for you and our air quality!

    *Insulate your water heater if it isnt already. Keeping your water heater warm saves energy and reduces up to 1,000 lbs of carbondioxide emissions due to reduced energy use. Less energy use means less pollution emitted from power plants producing the energy

    *Check that your vehicles tires are inflated to the proper pressure. Underinflated tires can lead to lowered fuel economy.

    *Avoid short car trips whenever possible! Instead chain all of your trips together to make one long journey. Trip chaining reducesoverall vehicle fuel use & reduces emissions!

    *Buddy up, go green, and CARPOOL! Youll pay for less gas, create less greenhouse gas, and make friends along the way.

    LUUF BOARD NEWS

    Have you noticed that we seem to have a noise challenge in the kitchen area on Sundays after the service? This isactually a good problem to have because it means that people are interacting and communicating with each other.That is a proud UU tradition. However, we would like to try some things to make it a little easier for people to heareach other.When we put in the new carpet, we were hoping that it might help tone down the noise level a bit by absorbing someof the sound. Unfortunately it appears that the situation has not improved.

    The Board would like to start placing some items on the walls that might be able to absorb sound. If you have anunused quilt, comforter, or other item that we could temporarily hang in the kitchen/eating area please bring it tothe Fellowship. We would like to find out what actually works to absorb the sound. You will get your item back aftethe UU sound experiment is completed. If you have some other ideas about how to approach this challenge, we are

    all ears. Thanks for your help.

    Saints" service a ceremonial reading aloud of the names of the departed members and friends of our fellowship. Thyear we paid homage to Vince Holschbach, Katherine Helgeland and George Edwards, who left us far too soon. Walso remembered past members and friends, including Shirley Goeters, Bob Potrykus, Olga Radulaski, WinnifreSpring, and others.

    In a further effort to preserve the personal history of our fellowship, Zoe Alexander and I have a plan tcreate and assemble a photo album / scrap book of LUUF memorabilia. We want to preserve our connection to thpeople no longer with us as well as to meaningful events and happenings related to the life of our fellowship and ithistory and mission here in Manitowoc.

    Please contact Ginny Finnel by phone 755-2689 or email at [email protected] if you have questions oanything to contribute now or at anytime in the future. Or, simply leave your items in an envelope with my name oit on the information table at the back of the fellowship. I will be happy to photocopy and return any original itemyou wish to retain.

    "A person with no sense of the past is a person who is a stranger to his or her own roots...We are inheritors of the history that ha

    made us what we are..." -Anthony O'Hear.
