"What's in a Story?"

Betsy Tabor, Intern Minister

9:15 AM and 11:00 AM

The ancestors of our stone church, 150 years ago, seem quaint and old-fashioned to us.

In so many respects, our way of life looks vastly different from theirs. But our stories

connect us across the sweep of time. When we read between the lines of materials they

left us, what made these people tick can inform our own spiritual understandings.

Music: 9:15 Mary Gould; 11:00 Choir.

With guest speaker, documentary filmmaker Matthew Kohn

9:15 AM and 11:00 AM

Sudan was always a land of conflict, but when civil war broke out, NBA star and Sudan

native Manute Bol used his celebrity to bring attention to the attacks on civilians that

were killing women, children and old men. Documentary film director Matthew Kohn

presents his insights into this inspiring “hero without a gun” and into the ongoing fight

for democracy in this war-torn region of Africa.

Music: 9:15 am: Barbara Bennett; 11:00 am: Choir;

At 12:15 pm, Matthew Kohn will present excerpts of the documentary "Our Tall Man:

Manute Bol and The War of Visions", which is a work in progress. The screening will take

Green Sanctuary Film/Lunch - What if We Change? Leading

with Agriculture - April 6, 2014

John D. Lieu, May 15, 2013

Sunday, April 6 12:30 p.m.

Community Hall

This 23 minute film, What if We Change, Leading With Agriculture, with an upbeat new

slant, will be hosted by our Green Sanctuary Team. Lunch and film will be followed by

discussion based on our 7th UU principle, Respect for the Interdependent Web of all

Existence of which We are a Part.

Discussing human impact on climate change is often about industrial emissions.

However, our agricultural processes also create huge amounts of greenhouse gasses.

Changing our methods can create part of the solution. All over the world, people are

discovering climate smart agriculture.

Ideas for adapting your gardening methods to lighten your footprint will also be

offered.

Deadlines Articles for the newsletter should be submitted to churchnews@uureading.org as soon as they are ready

for publication. Submissions should be either plain text or basic rich text (such as what an email client

might provide); submissions must not be copied-and-pasted from word processing programs, such as

Microsoft Word, since those programs generally inject excessive formatting mark-up.

Submissions will be published online as soon as possible after submission.

Family Passover Seder – Friday, April 18, 6:30 PM

On Friday, April 18 at 6:30 PM, we will gather at UUCR for a family Passover Seder.

Whether Passover is a valued part of your family’s cultural tradition or this is a new

experience for you, you are warmly invited to join us! We will sing traditional songs, read

from the Unitarian Universalist Haggadah about the Passover story, eat traditional

foods, answer important questions about Passover (for instance, why is this night more

important than other nights?), and the children will hunt for the afikomen – the hidden

matzo – and all will get a prize for participating!

The cost is $10/adult ($5 for children over 4 and under 13), plus a dish to serve 8-10

from these choices: Matzo Ball soup, Tzimmes (a vegetable dish), Kugel, Green Salad

with dressing, or Sponge Cake with Strawberries (recipes provided). Turkey will be our

main course, and we’ll provide all the traditional Seder Plate offerings, matzo, and more.

And if you don’t cook, there are other options – see Deb Weiner.

party, and what dish you are contributing to the meal. You will pay as you enter

Fellowship Hall on the night of the Seder. Deadline for signing up is April 15 (Tuesday at

Spirituality Drop-in Groups

Since this past January, Melissa Martin, our Member Services and Volunteer Coordinator,

began hosting a Spiritual Connections Drop-in Group that is open to all. There is a

monthly Sunday session after second service, as well as a monthly evening session. The

sessions will run 60 - 90 minutes long.

These drop-in groups will give an opportunity for anyone to explore the monthly topic,

nurture their individual spiritual development and build a deeper connection to our

UUCR community. Whether you are new to UUCR or a long-time member looking to

make new acquaintances, you are warmly invited to attend this drop-in group once, or

for as many times time that it is offered.

No registration is necessary. No commitment is required.

Each session will be as unique as the individuals who attend, and it is the goal to utilize

this time together to reflect and connect on a deeper level. The drop-in sessions will be

structured as follows:

Welcome, settling in and chalice lighting

Brief introductions and sharing what brought us here

Opening Reading

Topic discussion and activity

Closing words, take home connections, preview of the following month’s topic and extinguishing the

chalice

In short, each monthly session we give us opportunity to make time for togetherness

around the monthly spirituality topic, reflect on thought-provoking questions, share our

personal stories and connect on a deeper level with ourselves and those around us.

Why consider a Spiritual Connections Drop-in Group session?

To give yourself the gift of thoughtful reflection.

To share deeply from your life experience and to listen receptively to the experiences of others.

To connect your religious values with your life.

To create meaningful connections with others in the congregation

To experience community.

To engage in a shared ministry - nurturing and caring for other members.

To create a caring and indeed beloved community.

Sunday Afternoons at 12:30 pm Weeknight Evenings at 7:00 pm - Future dates include:

Director of Faith Development's Messages

In the Interim – April 1, 2014

Thoughts from the Interim Director of Faith Development

Deb Weiner

Last week, Ben and I traveled to New Orleans to visit our daughter, Abby,

who is a sophomore studying sociology at Tulane University. We’ve been

to New Orleans a number of times, but this was our first trip back since

that hot August week in 2012 when – our Prius loaded up like we were the Joads

migrating through Oklahoma – we drove Abby down to Louisiana to start her studies in

the Big Easy.

This year was easier, and we had a great visit, which included meeting her suite-mates

and her boyfriend, watching her Ultimate Frisbee team practice, and driving out into

bayou country to – quite literally – the end of the road, where we stood looking at the

Gulf of Mexico and the small shacks around us. We were in another part of the world,

for sure. We also got to see our friend, Rev. Tyronne Edwards (a community organizer

and pastor who – with the help of UUs and other faith communities – rebuilt his town of

Phoenix after it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina), visited a Creole plantation, toured

the remarkable World War II museum, and ate more than our share of fine Gulf seafood.

It was a wonderful trip. And one of the gifts of the trip was seeing Abby, in her element,

doing what she loves to do: studying things that really interest her; soaking in the

unique culture of this area. And I know that it might never have happened, were it not

for our friends.

Four years ago, I had been laid off from my longtime job. The economy had crashed. My

husband is self-employed. Money was very tight. Abby, at the time a junior in high

school, wanted to have an adventure that would combine a service trip and an

experience living somewhere that was different from suburban Boston. One of the

places she was interested in was New Orleans, doing restoration work and studying the

culture. And we did not have the money to make that happen. But a friend had come

into a little money when her father died, and she and her spouse -- parents of great kids

as well – approached Ben and me. They wanted us to have some of this money, so that

Abby could go to New Orleans and follow her dream. Part of the agreement was that

their names would not be revealed…it would be an anonymous gift.

We cried together, hugged, and accepted the gift. It was enough money to make the

difference – combined with what we could put together, Abby went on the trip. She fell

in love with the city, and came home talking about going to college there. And the rest,

as they say, is history.

4/3/2014

It is not often that you can look at part of your life and know, for a fact, that something

wouldn’t have happened, if not for something else. Life mostly evolves…one thing leads

to another, and we don’t usually spend a lot of time wondering how it got to be a

certain way…it just is. But in the case of Abby being in New Orleans, being at Tulane,

thriving, we know that it all started with this one thing: a gift from our friends.

The take-away, for me, is a reminder that we rarely know, at the time, what will make a

difference for others. It could be the hug at social hour, the note you took the time to

write, and yes, the faith development class you helped teach that a child remembered

years later, with gratitude. You never know…but these acts, small and insignificant as

they might seem, can make all the difference. May we bless one another with such

kindnesses, and in so doing, pay it forward for someone else.

In faith,

Deb

The Pledge Drive is off to a Great Start!

On Commitment Sunday, Rev. Tim told a Scout story about camping out in the woods.

Late into the night, the boys talked, adding logs to the blazing campfire…

We too are adding logs to our fire! So far, 76 friends and members have pledged

$225,513 to the church. Thank you! Over 60% of the pledges are increases over last

year—thank you! Eleven pledges are new this year—thank you!

Our goal is $440,000-$480,000 depending on whether we raise enough to add a Youth

Director, fund important property maintenance and repairs, give our hardworking staff a

cost of living increase and fund other important priorities.

So, let's put another log on the fire! May your pledge reflect all that this wonderful

church means to you.

THANK YOU FOR FUELING THE WARMTH OF COMMUNITY

Second Offering Thanks

Social Action

Many, many thanks to all who donated to the Second Offering on February 23.

Together, members of the congregation raised $1672.35 to provide meals for the

guests at Bread and Roses soup kitchen in Lawrence. This is enough to cook pasta

primavera with chicken (and garlic bread) for the first-Saturday-of-the-month meal for

almost a year, for the roughly 150 men, women, and children who find community and a

warm dinner at Bread and Roses five nights a week.

Pans of pasta primavera and loaves of garlic bread are prepared in the church kitchen by

6 to 8 UUCR volunteers the Friday nigh before the first Saturday of each month. The

cooking is easy and the fellowship great!

If you'd like to shop, cook on a Friday evening, or deliver the meal on a Saturday

afternoon, please contact Jamie Maughan at jamie.maughan@ch2m.com. The next

cooking date is April 4.

The two Sudans, Reconciliation, Unity and The Future - Sunday, April

13 - 12:30 PM

Social Action

Sunday, April 13 - 12:30 PM

Community Hall

Sudan, and the world's newest nation, South Sudan, have been built on multiple

divisions of religious practice, linguistic, ethnic and regional differences. They are both at

war with themselves. Under the conditions that currently exist, civil society, civil servants,

religious institutions, political parties, journalists and even traditional nondiscriminatory

policing activities are nearly impossible. After a brief period of hope, both northern and

southern Sudanese face the possibility that the impulse toward democracy will be

crushed again. Is there something that Americans can do?

OUR TALL MAN investigates the extraordinary life of Manute Bol, the first basketball

player from any foreign country to join the NBA. Sudan was always a land of conflict, but

when civil war broke out, Manute used his celebrity to bring attention to the attacks on

civilians that were killing women, children and old men. Manute showed no fear as he

landed in hostile conflict zones, provided funds for peaceful refugees as well as rebel

fighters. The importance of Manute's death a year before Independence is seen through

the tens of thousands of Americans and Sudanese who knew him. Loved by both

Christians and Muslims, he died as a founding father of South Sudan.

This screening will include excerpts of the documentary "Our Tall Man: Manute Bol and

The War of Visions", which is a work in progress. The screening will take place in

Community Hall, and will be hosted by the director of the documentary, Matthew Kohn.

Please feel free to bring a bag lunch.
