Dear UUFJC Members and Friends,
It’s been such a blessing to meet so many of you at services each week. A blessing
to find like minded people in a sea of discourse. Let us continue to find gratitude
for each other, help for those less fortunate and for those seeking solace in our
world.
This week's Adult Forum: Right before Halloween!!
Leader: Michelle Brooks, local author
Title: The National Cemetery
Next week's Forum: November 3: Right before election day!
Leader: Frank Rycyk
Title: Discussion based on a Gerald Seib article, “The Bright Spots in the Doom & Gloom
of our Politics”
Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am
This Sunday’s Message : “Where Did the Principles Go?: Unpacking the UUA’s ‘New’ Values”
Presented by Claire Helton.
For many Unitarian Universalists, the “principles and sources” have been a foundational aspect
of what it means to identify as a UU. This summer, the General Assembly of the UUA (our
national denominational body) voted to adopt a new language that replaces the “principles” with
“values” while shifting and expanding the language about the sources by which our faith is
inspired. Join us to unpack the changes, to learn about the process that led to them, and to
explore how this shifting represents the UUA’s commitment to embodying itself as a “living
tradition.”
Children's Religious Education - 10:30 am
Children attending in-person are welcome to join RE Instructor Samantha Porter for a
lesson during the service hour.
This month's theme: Invitation
This week's lesson: Listening to those we disagree with
Lunch after Service: If you would like to join other members and friends for lunch, watch for
postings, announcements, or ask about the weekly lunch location. Suggestions for places to
gather are always welcome.
UUFJC News and Events this week:
The Intergenerational Book Study will meet Sunday, November 10 at 2:00 pm. The
selected book is Dracula by Bram Stoker and the location this month will be at Betty
Cooper’s house.
Greetings from the Inn!
Despite the temperate weather, Jefferson City Room at the Inn is gearing up for our winter season! We will open to guests on December 1, but before we can open we need to train our volunteers! Our two training dates: November 14 and November 19, both at 6:30pm in First
Baptist Church's Fellowship Hall.
In case someone asks, both dates will have the same content, so volunteers need only attend one
or the other. Also, attending a training is recommended but not required in order to volunteer at
the Inn.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
Peace
Sarah Hamilton
