Sunday, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued exploring our monthly theme of Beloved Community.  Rev. Nancy argued that we do not build beloved community either by relaxing into the false safety of sameness or by throwing ourselves into chaos beyond our boundaries.  Instead, we foster true community and life by "walking the edge" where if we stay present, we find newness and creativity.  This can be a tiring balancing act; it is never safe, and at times we will fall, but with practice it can be a path of joy and resilience.

To guide us, Rev. Nancy drew on the work of Valarie Kaur and her Revolutionary Love project, which offers ideas on the kinds of encounters we will have along the edge.  She suggests a practice of wonder to bring us closer to others, and a practice of tending wounds to maintain boundaries without demonizing those opposed to us in the moment.  In relating to ourselves, she uses the imagery of childbirth: developing knowledge of when to breathe, when to push forward, and when to stay with the moment of transition.

For those who would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/5mhLf3BDn9o

Sunday morning, we shared a service with fellow UUs across the country and across the world as the Unitarian Universalist Association streamed a special worship concluding this year's Thirty Days of Love observance.  We as UUs are often encouraged to "answer the call of Love," but perhaps we should say it "the calls of Love," because Love calls to us in many voices.  As such, the UUA service featured a variety of voices: UUs with different racial identities, gender identities, abilities, economic situations, and more.  They called us to choose love over and over again, negotiating and re-negotiating our bonds of covenant, letting go of our assumptions of who "we" are, opening ourselves to the needs of those around us, recognizing our place in the history of struggles for justice along race and other lines, and rising to create justice as an act of faith.  A common theme emerged amid the diversity of voices: answering the call of Love is not a passive act.  Love asks something more from us.

The full service from the UUA is still available to download or watch on Facebook.  Look for the links at https://www.uua.org/worship/holidays/side-love-sunday

UUFJC Newsletter "Flame on the Water," February 2021 - Corrected

Sunday morning, Rev. Mike Adamek joined us to begin exploring our new monthly theme, Beloved Community.  Forming a Beloved Community presents a higher standard than for other communities.  Trust is imperative, and members must understand that others may know us better than we know ourselves.  Moral rules for Beloved Communities are more stringent than for other communities.
Love for family and friends must expand to encompass everyone.  Help offered to the community must be expanded to others not in the community.  Members must seek mutuality, not merely reciprocity.  The community must be open to others, and share in others' joys and sorrows.  Beloved Communities operate democratically.  They seek the justice and fairness for others that they seek for themselves.  Finally, beyond respecting others' property, they respect the rights of all for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
(Summary by Katherine Connor.)

Adult Forum - 9:15 am

"What do today’s families need to survive and thrive?," Betty Cooper
Family educators ask: What are the needs of today’s families? Seeing the domestic violence numbers rising in our community, is it possible that family needs are not being met? Are there specific strategies that could help? The Executive Director of the National Academy for Families, G. William Sheek, in the 1980s sought to find educational strategies that helped families to thrive. His research was published in a book, A Nation for Families. As we consider some of his ideas, hopefully his findings will stimulate us to think of additional ways to “better our families and those living in our community.”

Side With Love Sunday
The Unitarian Universalist Association is providing a service for the last day of this year's Thirty Days of Love.  What if to "side with love" meant making bold, faith-full choices? What if it were even a little bit scary? This worship service brings together sterling worship leaders and musicians from across the country to offer hopeful, moving, challenging reminders about what we, as Unitarian Universalists, are called to do, and BE, in the world.

UUFJC Newsletter "Flame on the Water," February 2021

Sunday morning we were invited to join our neighbors at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia for their Founders' Sunday, celebrating the 70th anniversary of their church's founding.  On their website they called it a time to reflect on "roots and wings" --- being grounded in the past while learning and reaching for the future.  Their service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/nTwge026lJY

"Roots and wings" is also a good image to wrap up our own month of reflection on Imagination.  Most "imaginative" people will tell you that nothing comes from nothing.  The most inventive flight of fancy still grows from the roots of what others have created and done, and yet it gives us a new experience and shows us new possibilities.  As we move forward, let us tend to the roots of our own imaginative inspirations, and also believe in the wings of joy and possibility that imagination gives us.

And, don't forget to submit any last-minute Guest At Your Table donations to support the UU Service Committee.  Donations for our Fellowship's drive are due today (see the donation link and address below and label the donation for Guest At Your Table).  You can also lend your support at any time at uusc.org.

A community has elastic boundaries. One definition of community is our relationship with those who we know well enough to be whole persons to us and we as whole persons to them.

Forms are available at the library’s Reference Desk or online at mrrl.org (one entry per person). This year, we’re asking participants to name a favorite book from those they read last year, a book they’d recommend to a family member or friend. We’ll compile a list of these favorites and post it on the library’s website. And we’ll do random drawings for book-related prizes at the end of the program.  Contact Madeline Matson.  For more on library events, visit MRRL.org.

This Thursday, February 4th is the monthly meeting of the local chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.  For online meeting information, contact Susan Randolph.
