UUFJC Newsletter: "Flame on the Water" March 2021
This Sunday, we did not hold our own UUFJC services, but as always, we were invited to join in online services with our UU neighbors. These invitations and recent services offered by the national UU Association remind us that the Beloved Community Unitarian Universalism aspires to create is larger than any one congregation. We at UUFJC are blessed as individuals and honored as a Fellowship that so many people have experienced Beloved Community among us specifically, but we should remember to reach further as well. By reaching out to to form Beloved Community across distance --- and, where we can, across difference --- we can create new levels of resilience and new abilities to work toward justice.
Next Sunday, we will begin exploring our theme for March, Commitment.
For those who would like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/g7JmaKieinw (They streamed the UUA's "Side with Love Sunday" service, which UUFJC streamed on February 14th.)
Next Sunday, March 7th:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Religions Help Families Create Well-Being," Betty Cooper
After G. William Sheek published the study on family education (February 14 Forum) he researched churches; he wanted to show how religion can help create family well-being. This research was published in a book, The Word On Families: A Biblical Guide to Family Well-Being. In this forum, our group will focus on Sheek’s findings in hopes that the ideas will help create well being in our families. Also, the universal ideas can be shared with friends and families in other religious organizations.
