UUFJC Newsletter: Flame on the Water, January 2024
Yesterday morning, our services were canceled due to the extreme cold weather conditions. Coming during our month of reflections on Liberating Love, this can remind us that love means caring for our well-being: our own, and that of the people we enter into bonds with and work together with for collective liberation. Indeed many workers for liberation have also been pioneering thinkers about the need for self-care. You can't draw from an empty well, and you can't end oppression by oppressing yourself.
We look forward to when we can come together again. Until then, please stay safe and warm!
For those who would like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service from yesterday is available to view online:

This Tuesday, January 16th at 6:30 pm in their Art Gallery, Missouri River Regional Library presents: "What’s Causing Back-to-Back Droughts and Floods?" Dr. Zack Leasor is the new Missouri State Climatologist, and he will be discussing the extreme weather conditions we are seeing and what we might expect in the future. He holds an undergraduate degree in meteorology from Western Kentucky University, and graduate degrees from Ohio State University, where he was a postdoctoral researcher, funded by the National Science Foundation. He also developed and taught a new course on drought as a climate hazard. This program is co-sponsored with Citizens Climate Action. Contact Madeline Matson. For more library events, visit MRRL.org.
This Thursday, January 18th at 6:30 pm in their Art Gallery, MRRL hosts the latest installment of the LU-MRRL Lecture Series: "Dealing with Intrusive Thoughts." Have you been struggling with intrusive thoughts seemingly coming out of nowhere? They can range from disturbing images to irrational ideas, leaving you searching for hidden meanings, questioning the root cause, and affecting your mental well-being. Approximately 90 percent of individuals experience unwanted thoughts regularly, but it is the content of these thoughts that is unsettling. Intrusive thoughts often stem from your subconscious mind communicating, similar to dreams. Acceptance and effective coping strategies are essential to confronting intrusive thoughts. Dr. Charles Hinton, lecturer in psychology, will discuss how to manage the psychological strain intrusive thoughts can cause. They don’t have to go away. However, they should not be in control. Contact Madeline Matson. For more library events, visit MRRL.org.
