UUFJC Newsletter "Flame on the Water" April 2021
Sunday morning we were invited to join our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia for their online services. UUCC Minister Rev. Molly Housh-Gordon will soon be taking a sabbatical, and this week she reflected on the sacredness of rest. We need rest to care for ourselves so that we can stay committed to what is important to us and return to it with new vigor, having had space for inspiration. Rest is also part of our commitments in itself; taking rest for ourselves and demanding space for rest for others reminds us that we are committed to the inherent worth and dignity of all people, that all are worthy without having to be busy and productive. Our commitments to justice can sometimes fill us with urgency and anger, but Rev. Molly asked, how can we go slow enough to not miss each other, slow enough for the shy soul to show up, slow enough for healing, for not leaving anyone behind? As we emerge from the pandemic, how can we retain the slowness of our isolation and re-engage without being swept away back into the whirlwind of a busy culture?

"Becoming a Naturalistic Mystic on Easter," Rev. Mike Adamek
Ken Patton was a major composer and contributor to our previous hymn book, "Hymns for the Celebration of Life." The UUA website describes him this way, “Minister and scholar David Bumbaugh has summed up Patton's work: "It was he who taught a monotone rationalism how to sing; it was he who taught a stumble-footed humanism how to dance; it was he who cried 'Look!' and taught our eyes to see the glory in the ordinary." Before the sermon Rev. Mike will read in our current hymn book Patton’s Responsive Reading 437, “Let Us Worship.”
