President’s Perspective
How rich we are! As a lay-led
congregation, our Sunday Services
Committee (SSC) puts together our
services. And as we finish up the first
quarter of 2019, we can look back on
an impressive array of Sunday
messages that have helped us reflect
on a wide range of topics. Our SSC is
a creative bunch that has invited
speakers from among our own congregation, from the university, the
community, and from further away.
Who knew that you could go to church and learn about toxic
masculinity, non-binary gender identities, or about how many different
flowers make a bouquet? If you’re like me, you really appreciate
getting to know yourself, our community, and our denomination better
through these interesting Sunday messages.
We began the year 2019 with a moving presentation by the
Reverend Deane Oliva titled “Coming Home,” and it was followed soon
after by Reverend Sharon Dittmar’s talk titled “Listen.”
Matt Foraker’s lively and engaging talk on toxic masculinity provided
perspectives on how we shape people through our expectations, how
we might – if we are not careful - buy in to stereotyped ideas of
masculinity that are in fact severely limiting and hurtful not just to men,
but to everyone.
Cheryl Stevens’ talk on diversity and inclusion helped address basic
misconceptions about diversity, and argued for the value of proactive
approaches to inclusion. We all benefit when we value diversity and
when we put those values into action.
A highlight was the March 31 talk by Jamie Dowland on the
“Transgender Day of Visibility.” Jamie helped us gain new
perspectives, learn basic terminology, and gave us ideas on how we
can be even more welcoming than we had imagined. They peeled
back the layers of binary assumptions to help us see through the eyes
of others, so we can more fully live the intention of our first principle, to
value “the inherent worth and dignity of every person.” I think everyone
Page 3 UUCBG Newsletter April 2019
who came to that service – and the sanctuary was nearly full – went
home with practical tips for avoiding hurtful words and actions, and
with strategies for being more open and for connecting with others
more fully.
I was truly moved during the sharing time after Jamie’s talk on
March 31, because as I heard both members and visitors speak from
the heart, I thought: “This is the kind of church home I want us to be:
we listen, we are open-minded, and we show compassion and
understanding.” We are truly living our UU principles as we learn and
listen and love together.
So I end as I began. Thank you to our Sunday Services Committee
for the rich experiences you bring us each Sunday. You are making a
big difference in our congregation and in our community.
Warmly,
Laura McGee, Board President, [email protected]

Many Thanks to Our Church Elves!
We don’t have house elves such as those in the Harry Potter world,
but we do have many people who work behind the scenes and
throughout the week to maintain and beautify our buildings and our
grounds. Many thanks to those who sweep the floors, dig the dirt, haull
the rocks, weed the gardens, empty the trash, and clean the windows!

BUILDING COMMUNITY
Supporting Each Other
Webinar: Tending to Grief and Honoring Death 6:45 Central Time, Tuesday, May 7, 2019
Rev. Erika Hewitt, UUA Minister of Worship Arts
After a death, grief can be unbearable — but it's not a problem to be
solved or hustled through. Rather, grief is an unpredictable process to
be tended through companionship and witness. In this webinar, Rev.
Erika Hewitt will guide participants through a basic understanding of
pastoral skills needed to respond to a death and loss; and the liturgical
work of creating and leading memorial services. For further information
on Rev. Hewitt, go to: https://www.uua.org/offices/people/erika-hewitt

Support Groups Meet at UUCBG
If you visit UUCBG at times other than Sunday mornings, you’re
likely to meet people from one of the support groups that gather here.
We host several different AA groups and an Overeaters Anonymous
group.
Among Ourselves
“Getting to Know UU” Event Garners New Members
We had 13 guests and 4 children attend the “Getting to Know UU”
session in March. Sharon Crawford (Membership Chair) says, “I
believe everyone was able to learn, share, and had a good time. Some
attendees indicated that they would like to join the church the 1st
Sunday in April.”
We’ll be having a New Member Welcome Ceremony during the
Sunday service on April 7th.
Page 8 UUCBG Newsletter April 2019
Getting to Know…
To be featured in “Getting to Know…”, contact Roxanne Spencer
Rowan Brown
My friend Jamie had invited me to come to
UUBGKY several times over the past year or
so, and eventually I attended the Remembrance
ceremony and autumn festival. At the time I
was vaguely familiar with the Seven Principles
but wasn't sure how I would feel about a
church setting, since I had grown to dislike the
religious atmosphere I grew up in. I was pleasantly surprised by my
experience and attended a few more times afterward. As I got to know
the members and learn more about the Principles, I found more and
more that I liked about both the philosophy behind Unitarian
Universalism and the Unitarian Universalists themselves.
Currently I attend regularly and serve as tech support for Sunday
services, which entails setting up any technology that the speaker for
that day might need such as the sound system, projector, the computer,
etc. I am just now picking up some projects around the grounds of
UUBGKY, such as repairing a damaged drainage system and working
in the gardens.
I would describe myself as a secular humanist who derives a sense of
spirituality from my background in science as a student of physics and
math. My understanding of the world gives me a sense of
connectedness to everything else in the universe, and compels me to act
in accordance with the Principles espoused by Unitarian Universalism.
I highly value the persuit of knowledge as a means to strengthen my
understanding of the universe and my connection to the other parts of
it.
UUBGKY is the only church I've been in so far where I felt
embraced and not condemned for being a part of the queer community.
I think the congregation displayed excellent support during our recent
Transgender Day of Remembrance service, and I find it so refreshing to
find a spiritual community that is not only tolerant but outright
accepting. Thank you to everybody for being part of our welcoming
congregation.

Food, Fun, and Fellowship
UUCBG Dinner and Silent Auction Night By Kathie Downs
On Saturday, May 4th, we will be resurrecting an old custom! We'll
have our "annual" auction again.This is an evening out, with dinner
and wine, and a silent auction. EVERYONE is invited, so bring your
neighbors, friends, and anyone who likes Mexican Food! With Cinco
de Mayo the next day, we will start our celebration early with Mexican
Food and Margaritas! Dress is casual, but festive - so break out your
Hawaiian shirts and bright clothes.
To do your part, please think about what you can contribute for the
silent auction. It can be anything with a value of at least $25. It can be
artwork, jewelry, designer clothes or any high-end item, OR it can be
services or experiences. Hosting dinners for a certain number of
people with special themes has always been popular. We've had
Persian New Year, Raw Food, and Dancing Under the Stars Dinners.
Or maybe you have some theatre tickets that you will not be using.
Let’s see what we come up with this year!
I, personally, will be offering a tour of the Old World Mennonite
produce markets and stores in Allen County—followed by a barbeque
on my deck out in the middle of farm country. (Driving and food
provided). Let's see what you can come up with!
Volunteers: We are still looking for volunteers to help us with this
extravaganza! If you are interested in helping with the many tasks that
will make up this fantastic event, let me know. We will need people in
the kitchen, as well as people to tabulate and collect money for the
auction items, and a few things in between.
Childcare:Also let me know if you will need childcare for the
evening. If there is enough demand for it, we will hire a baby sitter for
the evening.
Put this date on your calendar and bring a non-UU friend! Look for
forms in Church or on our website, if you have something for the silent
auction!
Contact Kathie ([email protected])
if you have questions or want to offer to help.

BOOKS
BOOK TALK – Poetry by W. B. Yeats and Mary Oliver 1:00 pm on Sunday, 21 April 2019, Emerson Library
By Amber Phillips If you've ever wondered about what we are up to in to Book Talk,
April's meeting is a great point to jump in. We will be taking a closer
look at William Butler Yeats's “The Second Coming”and Mary Oliver's
“The Summer Day,” which are short but mighty. While you may want to
read these in advance (which can be found online or emailed on
request), it is not necessary. We'll bring copies.
Book Talk meets on the third Sunday of every month at 1:00 in the
Emerson Library (aside from the surprise snowfall we had once!), with
a different read each month that is picked in the previous meeting. All
are welcome to drop in to join the discussion and suggest new reads.
In the past, we have read Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale,
Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett's Good Omens, Ovid's Metamorphoses,
Madeleine L'Engle's Herself: Reflections on a Writing Life (and A
Wrinkle in Time) and Octavia Butler's Kindred, which are all excellent
recommendations.

One of the UU principles focuses on accepting and supporting
people from diverse backgrounds with a variety of beliefs. Age-
discrimination is generally associated with being older, but the young
also deal with being ignored and silenced. This Sunday let’s celebrate
our younger UUs with an interactive service that highlights recent
creative work from Children’s RE.

Get ready for our next
Tailgate Sale!!. We will
once again ask $10 per
spot. If you want to
donate all of the proceeds
from your sales, we will
accept that! But if you just
want to spend a sunny
day (Let’s all hope for
sun!) hanging out in our
parking lot with lots of
others, this is your event.
So start cleaning out
those closets, basements and garages, but instead of taking it to St.
Vincent DePaul, Goodwill or the Salvation Army, load it up in you car
and bring it out to us on June 29th.
If you have stuff, but cannot make it, let me know and we try to find
someone to bring it to the sale for you.
We will also have a Bake Sale, so start baking now and freeze your
cookies, cakes, and muffins. We did quite well with the baked goodies
last time!
As always, we will need folks to help set up, direct traffic, and staff
the bake sale booth. We could also use someone to get the word out
to the free media outlets, hang posters around town, and keep us
organized!
