To Make Whole, Sound, and Well
Reverend Scott McNeill
          The root word of healing comes from Old English, meaning "to make whole, sound, and well" - which also describes our purpose as a religious community. Join us as we share stories and visions of how Unitarian Universalism can make us, individually and collectively, whole, sound, and well.

"Ancestors: Who will be the one?" 
El Dia de los Muertos
The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
The Reverend Scott McNeill
            In this annual "El Dia de los Muertos: Day of the Dead" worship service, we will remember our personal and congregational ancestors.  As Unitarian Universalists we honor all souls with this special day of ritual, remembrance and music.  
            You are invited to bring a picture or small memento of an ancestor, loved one or beloved pet that has died;  a special altar will be created during the worship service, when the children are still in the sanctuary with us, to celebrate those who have given us love and life.

Age of Reason: Who Shares Your Story?
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
          Our worship theme for the month of November is
Story. Author Jaqueline Lewis states, "We are living texts, formed by multiple, interweaving, competing, and, sometimes, conflicting stories that we receive from our culture via our parents, other adults, our peers, the media, and congregational life.  Stories about race, gender, theology, generational differences, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and class work consciously and unconsciously to form our identity." 
          In this pre-election worship service, let us claim our stories.
          Our beloved Age of Reason Ceremony for first graders will take place during our Time for All Ages at both services.
From Our Board of Directors:
Entering into a Conversation Regarding Disagreement
        Our being a strong community while having the freedom to be individuals is a point of pride for our congregation. This combination of strong community, passionate feelings, and diverse thinking is apt to bring disagreement and even conflict.
        With our congregation's size and different life experiences, it's important to have a shared understanding of how we respectfully interact in disagreement. Today the Board would like to share with the congregation a proposed Congregational Covenant. This covenant describes how we would agree to interact with each other when in disagreement. A second document describes a proposed new Healthy Communications Committee that would help to mediate disputes when needed. The goal is these changes will help us be a strong community by respectfully and compassionately interacting in disagreement.
        You can find these proposed documents on the church website at the following address. Look for printed copies posted around the church as well.  http://www.uubloomington.org/about-us/board-of-directors/ 
        At this time we want to engage with you regarding these proposed documents. More information will be forthcoming at a town hall meeting between services on November 6th , at the December 11th congregational meeting, and from the ministers during services. Feel free to ask questions of any of the board members as well as giving us your feedback. As usual, we'll be at the "Lucy Booth" during coffee hour on the last Sunday of the month and you can reach us via email: Von Welch von@vwelch.com , Connie Nelson Laird cnelsonlaird@gmail.com , Arzetta Hults-Losensky zetta@bluemarble.net , Deborah Hutton huttond@iu.edu , Doug Cauble Dcauble53@gmail.com , Helmut Hentschel hhentschel5@gmail.com , Pat Brantlinger brantli@indiana.edu .
        Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.

Bloomington Refugee Support Work Continues
Many people have asked how they can help the Bloomington Refugee Support program in the coming months (as our community settles new residents starting next Spring). It is wonderful to see the generosity and commitment we have to welcoming our neighbors! Our congregation has many individuals who have been involved in the local efforts through previous community meetings and planning; and, the church will create a Social Justice Task Force to coordinate our efforts. Stay tuned to the Prologue for an announcement of the Task Force leaders and initial meetings, so that you can join us. In the meantime, there is useful information about the refugee project (courtesy of Exodus International) on our website at http://www.uubloomington.org/refugee-project-information/.   --Reverend Scott McNeill, Associate Minister

 
MAM's Musings
          We have set the date for the next Vigil Training!  March 4th, from 8:30am to 5:30pm will be the next training for those of you who are interested in vigiling for those in our community who are at risk of dying alone. In addition to our trainer, Amy Billa, we will also host the Founder and Director of Sacred Dying Foundation, Dr. Megory Anderson.   Stay tuned for more information.
          Meanwhile, as I said on Sunday, it is a joy to have a guest in our pulpit periodically (fuzzy timeframe).   Reverend Sarah Voss was no exception.  Her sermon on Fuzzy Logic and its role in ethical and moral decision making brought a different style and content to our pulpit.   I find this refreshing.  
          For those of you who found Reverend Voss's sermon stimulating,  you might also be interested in the Patton Lecture Series this month at Indiana University.  The Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs announced FREE lectures by Paul Slovic, Professor of psychology at University of Oregon and president of Decision Research.
          Paul Slovic's research on risk focuses on the psychological and cognitive processes of decision-making on a wide range of issues: environment, nuclear power, earthquake risk mitigation, economics, gambling, political decision-making, discrimination, smoking, terrorism, and tort litigation. 

          The Psychology of Risk
            Tuesday, October 25, Presidents Hall in Franklin Hall, 7:30 p.m.
          Moral Deficiencies in the Arithmetic of Compassion
            Thursday, October 27, Presidents Hall in Franklin Hall, 7:30 p.m.
 
Thanks to Silja Weber, friend of our congregation, for giving me a heads up regarding these lectures. I hope to see some of you there.  I am 83% sure I will be able to attend one of these lectures.

Peace, Mary Ann
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin, Senior Minister
Our Folks...
       Our sympathy and thoughts of healing are with Susan Rautio-Dietz and Jim Dietz upon the recent passing in California of Susan's brother Bill Rautio of a heart attack at age 61.
       Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Clara Henderson, who died recently. Clara was a friend to many members of our congregation and often shared her gifts of music with us in Sunday services.    
       Our thoughts of sympathy are also with Melinda Swenson and Carol McCord and their family, upon the unexpected passing at age 66 of Melinda's sister Claudia Swenson, on Thursday, October 6.
       Congratulations to Iris Kiesling, who recently carried the torch on the final leg of the Indiana Bicentennial Run here in Monroe County and also received a lifetime achievement award, the 2016 Arthur R Himsel Award, for her nearly 30 years of public service to the Bloomington community and surrounding area.
       Congratulations also to Gladys DeVane, one of two local playwrights who created, produced and performed in "Reslience: Indiana's Untold Story," a play documenting the history of African Americans in Indiana, which was presented October 14-16.

UU History for You
Beatrix Potter and the Tale of Peter Rabbit
      Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was born wealthy and raised Unitarian.  Her grandfather was a member of the British Parliament and a wealthy merchant who printed calico fabrics.  Her father was a lawyer who hired governesses to teach his children.  Beatrix enjoyed living in the countryside and her hours there were occupied with caring for pets and drawing animals and plants.  She corresponded with mycologists and sent illustrations of mushrooms and other fungi she found. She also enjoyed writing letters to her governesses' children and illustrated them with fanciful animals.  In 1902, her book The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published by Frederick Warne & Co. She later fell in love with Norman Warne, of that company.  Unfortunately, he died of leukemia while they were still engaged.  She moved to the Lake Country and used her wealth to buy property and farms, enjoying the gorgeous landscapes and hoping to preserve their beauty by setting up a national trust to care for them.  She wrote most of her books there (a total of 30) and Warne & Co. published all of them, allowing her to expand her land purchases with the help of local lawyer, William Heelis, who set up the trust.  At age 47 she married Heelis and they had a childless marriage.  She died in 1943 of pneumonia, willing her land to the National Trust.   -- Elof Carlson, UUCB Historian

Leaves of Faith  Tree Planting Sunday, October 23
     The Green Sanctuary Task Force and Grounds team will be hosting a tree planting at the church on  Sunday, October 23rd. Thanks to the  Leaves of Faith Tree Canopy Program, offered to congregations through Hoosier Interfaith Power and Light (H-IPL), we will receive three six-foot tall trees each fall, for the next three years. H-IPL will send a certified arborist to supervise the planting and talk to members about the environmental benefits of and care for the trees as they adapt to their new home. Tree planting embodies our seventh principle: respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. And this will help us fulfill our Paris Pledge to become carbon neutral by 2050. We hope you can join us on the 23rd.
