Dear UUFJC Members and Friends,
Spirit of Presence, may we meet what arrives with open hearts and open minds, and may our commitments and aspirations run so deep that choices become obvious, even in the midst of complexity. Amen and blessed be.
This week's Adult Forum:
Title: Why Jefferson City is a good place to visit
Leader: Mayor Ron Fitzwater
Next week's Forum: October 20
Title: New Member Biography
Leader: Shay Ochoa
Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am
Maridee Edwards will be delivering this Sunday’s message at UUFJC. This is a brief synopsis of what she'll talk about. Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs. With the Soul Matters theme this month being Deep Listening, we can look, pause, and listen - - beyond words into the deeper messages under the surface of our interactions with others. Buddhist teachings can offer some tools to deepen our ability to listen, to hear, to see what is really happening, and rise above our limited perspective.
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

Room at the Inn is looking for someone to work four overnight shifts per week to help take the load off of that hard-to-fill shift. We ask that they work Sunday and Monday nights each week and then pick the other two nights that fit best with their schedule. The chosen candidate will also do a little bit of administrative work to take some of that load off the volunteer Exec team.
$20/hour for 24-30 hours of work each week. You can find the full job description as well as a link to the online application here.
Please spread the word! Sarah Hamilton, Chair, JCRATI
The scale of destruction in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has been utterly devastating to many communities in the southeastern United States. Some Unitarian Universalist congregations have been seriously impacted and others are still trying to assess the damage. You can help support Unitarian Universalists and their communities as they recover from this storm by giving generously to the UUA’s Disaster Relief Fund. www.uua.org/giving/disaster-relief
This Week's Joys and Concerns:
Please keep in your thoughts, Keenan McMahon, Scene One playwright. He is now at Caring Hearts & Hands of Columbia, MO
