UUFJC Newsletter "Flame on the Water" June 2021
Sunday morning, we were invited to join our neighbors at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia for online services. Sabbatical minister Rev. Dr. C. W. Dawson addressed the theme of character, not the "characters" who appear in our fictional stories, but the "character" of thought and action through which we build the stories of our lives and, bit by bit, the story of our world. Rev. Dawson cited the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who believed that our character was our own to develop, that we needed good teachers who embodied virtue, and that virtue began with action, which could lead to habit, which could in turn form our character. In our times it can seem challenging to find people to look up to who embody virtue and to take right actions, but we are called to this work. As Rev. Dawson said, a recommitment to character, to acting in accordance with our shared divinity and the importance of every person, can help to heal the fissures of racism, discrimination, and violence that wound our society.
The full service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/59BtaigifWU
Also please note: UUFJC's annual Rummage Sale will be returning in two weeks, on Saturday, June 12th! Please be on the lookout for gently-used items you can donate to support our Fellowship; storage space at our building is available. We also need extra tables if you have any you can lend, and lots of volunteers for setup, sale day, and cleanup. If you have items stored at the Fellowship that are not intended for sale, please take them home or label them clearly! For more on donating and getting involved with the sale, contact Bob Antweiler ([email protected]) and Lisa Sanning ([email protected]).

"When playfulness is more than having fun," Rev. Mike Adamek
Play can be an important spiritual value. It is a necessary avenue to wholeness, which we neglect at our peril. Each of us personally, and all of us collectively need to fill up our well of energy, spontaneity and joy. Real playfulness is a path to re-creat[e]-ion.
