That is So Random
Ministerial Intern D. Scott Cooper preaching, with Rev. Lucy Bunch;
Worship Associate Marilyn Reynolds
Dictionary.com defines random as "proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern." Young people have twisted it into a buzzword meaning "unknown, unidentified, or suspiciously out of place."
How random do you believe our world and lives are? And how does your answer influence what you think about the "big questions" -- those questions we hope religion and spirituality help us consider deeply?

Chaos and Resilience
Rev Lucy Bunch, preaching, with Ministerial Intern D. Scott Cooper;
Worship Associate Mary Howard; Candles of Celebration and Sorrow
Candles of Celebration or Sorrow
Are you feeling tossed by the chaos in our country? Many of us are finding that established norms of discourse and civility have been upended. As a follow-up to the March 5 service, we will discuss ways to maneuver through the chaos and find our path to resilience.
As part of the chaos, daylight savings time resumes. Don't forget to set your clocks forward one hour or you will be helping set up the chairs!

Seeds of Renewal - A Service for All Ages
Rev Lucy Bunch, Ministerial Intern D. Scott Cooper;
Worship Associates Jim Eastman, Ginny Johnson, and Laura Sheperd
Celebration of March Birthdays
Spring is coming! We are now halfway between the longest night and the shortest night. As the light grows longer and brighter we celebrate hope and renewal. Through story, song and ritual we will consider our hopes for the coming season, hopes of our lives, our communities and our world. We will plant seeds that will grow in our UURTH Song Garden and produce beautiful flowers that we will share at our harvest ritual in August. We will also welcome new members into our community. Come and let your heart be filled.

This Little Light of Mine
Rev Lucy Bunch preaching, with Ministerial Intern D. Scott Cooper;
Worship Associate Linda Roth
"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine."
How's that going for you? Are you living a life that is resonant of your true self? An experienced hospice nurse said that the number one regret people share on their death beds is that they wish they had been more true to themselves and less concerned about what people thought. Join us as we consider what holds us back from being fully ourselves.

Assistant Minister's Message
|
|
I hear from many of you how you are disturbed by the fierce rhetoric and proposed policies of the new administration in Washington. We have all seen the various calls to resist the policies that go against our values as UUs and as citizens. I have been encouraging people to consider three ways to respond:
1)
Find a political outlet
that allows you to express your concerns, whether through calls, letter writing, or showing up at rallies and marches. Focus on issues that matter to you.
2)
Take actions to support the most vulnerable in our communities
.
At UUSS we have programs to support refugees, the homeless, and immigrants. We are working to expand these efforts and also develop outreach to our Muslim neighbors so that we can be allies and provide support when necessary. Find a way to make a difference in someone's life.
3)
Develop your resilience
. We are called to resist. But equal to resistance is the need for
resilience -
the inner strength that helps us manage the challenges without losing our footing, or wearing ourselves out. The loving support of our communities is an important part of developing resilience, as are spiritual practices that allow us to express our feelings and sustain our spirits.
Helping to develop resilience is an important role that UUSS can play in troubled times. Beginning this month, we are offering a
Resilience Gathering every first and third Tuesday of the month at 6:30. This 45-minute session will include singing, readings, silence, prayer, and candles of hope and encouragement. There will be no political discussion, or extended laments. We will be together in support and in love. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us. We are working to live-stream the gatherings so that those who can't make it to church can participate virtually. We will hold these gatherings for as long as they are needed. I hope to see you there.

I always appreciate your thoughts, ideas, concerns, or challenges. I have office hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons and welcome your visits. Other times available by arrangement. Please call or e-mail first to make sure that I am available.
I will be away at a workshop March 6 to 9.

Ministerial Intern's Message

What Are We Busy About?
"
It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants.
The question is: what are we busy about?"
-
Henry David Thoreau
Over a year ago, when I was looking for places to do my internship, I remember going to
UUSS.org
and thinking: "There's a lot going on there - it's a busy congregation!"
I believe it's only gotten busier - many weeknights, nearly every room on campus is booked! But to echo Thoreau's question, "What are we busy about?"
I'm excited to say, lots
of things! Not only are we gathering to enjoy one another's thoughts, opinions, and company, we gather together to learn more and grow our spirits. Indeed, as Lucy reminded us above, we are living out our mission: "We come together to deepen our lives and be a force for healing in the world."
It may be clear how coming to Spiritual Deepening Groups, Sunday Services, and thoughtful discussion groups are deepening our lives, and how our many Social Justice efforts are helping to heal the world. But I also want to lift up the important work we are doing supporting one another, one on one, in groups, and in community.
UUs are notoriously independent - so, if you are going through a tough time, reach out. We are here for one another. If you are doing well, I ask that you reach out and talk to several folks you don't know on Sunday morning. I know it's fun to catch up with those you haven't seen for a week or two, but we have lots of new folks hoping for a loving community just like ours to be a part of.
What are we busy about? I believe we are not only busy deepening our lives and becoming a force for healing in the world, we are busy making connections and supporting one another.
Peace, Salaam, Shalom,
D. Scott Cooper

Music Minister's Message
|
|
Music for Peace
I am very excited that we will be enjoying a concert here on Saturday evening, March 11. In addition to raising funds for the International Rescue Committee, we'll be performing music for peace, knowing that much beautiful music from many refugees' home countries has been silenced. Experts note that although there is nothing in the Qur'an (Muslims' holy book) that bans music, Islamic tradition has always associated music with dancing and immorality; and there is a long tradition of clerical opposition.
In the 1990s, the Taliban placed a public ban on instrumental music being played in public, and Iran's supreme leader has ruled that music is "not compatible with the values of the Islamic republic." So we savor the freedom that allows us to make music with and for our Muslim friends! See the article under JUSTICE WORK/Refugee Support Team for details about time and how to obtain tickets

Where's Rev. Roger from March through May
|
|
Roger is cheering us on and praying for us all from a distance. Now in his ninth year of ministry at UUSS, Roger is taking the last three months of a six-month sabbatical. He is traveling, reading, resting, and reflecting spiritually. As he said in his January visit back to UUSS, he is very grateful for the excellent ministry and high energy of Rev. Lucy and Intern Scott, the rest of our great staff, and for the many volunteers who put extra time into church life and put extra warmth into welcoming our many new families and other visitors. If you have questions about the sabbatical or how things work at UUSS during this time,

Providing Support for Our Mission
|

For Such a Time As This: 2017 UUSS Pledge Drive
The 2017 pledge drive is under way.
For such a time as this, we need to be a force for healing in the world. As financial stakeholders, we are the only ones who create UUSS as our loving and caring community. Your pledge keeps our home operating and allows UUSS to build on what we have accomplished, to pay fairer compensation to our staff, and to continue and expand programs to enhance our commitment to social justice.
Pledges account for 75 percent of our total funding at UUSS. To continue our programming and outreach, to increase opportunities for spiritual practice, and to enhance our commitment to social justice, we need your help. We want to keep building on our success and we hope you do, too. Your contribution is critical to the continued life and success of UUSS.
Only you can decide what financial contribution to UUSS is appropriate for your family. The average pledge is $1469 per year (or $122 per month). We appreciate every bit of help, regardless of the size. These are challenging times. More and more people are coming to UUSS on Sundays in a search for a place to participate in liberal spirituality, to deepen their lives, and to promote social justice locally and globally. So,
for such a time as this, we are asking for your support. Please consider your circumstances, what UUSS means to you, and increase your pledge if possible.
You may have already received a letter and pledge form in the mail. Forms are also available after the service on Sundays, and members of the Stewardship Team are on hand to answer any questions (and collect your completed pledge forms!)

2017 Auction without Borders: Think Outside the Wall
|
|
Our annual fundraising
auction will be Saturday, April 29. The theme for the auction is "Auction Without Borders: Think Outside the Wall." The auction is the main annual fundraiser for UUSS, but also a way for us to get together and have fun. Last year's auction sold out, the food was terrific, a good time was had by all,
and
we raised a record amount for UUSS programs! We are hoping to top it this year. We will have:
- A delicious dinner with a Latin flair
- A silent auction with items ranging from gourmet dinners to classes to beautiful hikes and other adventures
- A gift basket raffle
- A fancy dessert raffle
- Entertainment and a good time!
Make your plans now to join us. Tickets for the event go on sale March 26. Donation forms are available now on our web site at
uuss.org/auction
, or a helpful donation consultant is available after the service on Sundays.
We are asking the congregation for donations to help make these activities successful. Remember, we are hoping to encourage connections within UUSS as well as to raise funds; so we are looking for donations of services, dinners, hikes, bike rides, or other adventures. We also need donations of themed baskets for the raffle and fancy baked goods for the dessert raffle. Please contact Annette Emery at
involvedcitizen27@yahoo.com
for information and donation forms. For other questions or to volunteer, please e-mail
auction@uuss.org

2017 PCD and UUA Assemblies
|
|
Looking for inspiration in difficult times from a wide diversity of folks who share your values? New to Unitarian Universalism and looking for a wider view of our movement? Been around a while and want to have a say in the election of the first female President of the
Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA)? Then consider attending one or both annual Unitarian Universalist gatherings this year: The Pacific Central District (PCD) Assembly, May 5 to 6
, in Walnut Creek and the UUA General Assembly, June 21 to 25, in New Orleans, LA.
The PCD District Assembly will be held at the
Mt. Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church. All three candidates for UUA President will be present to participate in the last of a nationwide series of Regional Forums. This will be an exciting chance to meet these three candidates: the Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray (
susanfrederickgray.com
), the Rev. Alison Miller (
alisonforuuapresident.org
), and the Rev. Jeanne Pupke (
jeannepupke.com
).
The election will be held as part of the
UUA General Assembly. By the time you read this, registration will be open (March 1) and the deadline for financial aid from UUA fast approaching (March 31). A summary schedule and detailed information on
travel
and
housing
are already available at
uua.org/ga. There is not enough space here to tell you about all the activities that take place at
General Assembly. Look for a table on Sunday mornings, staffed by folks who have attended these gatherings in the past and/or are going this year. Then prepare to be inspired!

New Policy/Guidelines for Welcome Hall Promotional Tables
|
|
|
Things are going strong at UUSS. Attendance is up, and we have many active groups. Some challenges have arisen, one of them being space in the Welcome Hall after the service. The Administrative and Property Management Team developed guidelines for groups who need promotional tables after the service and asked the Program Council to distribute them to UUSS Activity Groups.
Guidelines for groups requesting promotional tables in the Welcome Hall after the service
- Because of space considerations we will limit the number of promotional tables in the welcome hall to six (6) tables on Soup Sunday - two inside and four outside in the entrance. (This is based on what will fit and give people enough room to move around.) On non-Soup Sunday, we can have up to eight tables, with four inside and four outside.
- If a group wants to be on the back patio, you will be limited only by the number of tables that fit.
- All tables must be reserved by the Thursday prior to the Sunday through the on-line reservation system http://www.uuss.org/roomrequest/.
- Tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Groups can only reserve tables for three consecutive weeks at a time (This guideline doesn't mean that you can't reserve again after the three weeks, or that you must take a break after that. It means you can only reserve for three weeks in a row.)
- Groups should contact the office in advance if they are not going to use the table they have reserved.
- Staff will place a sign on the table indicating who has reserved it.
Any questions regarding the guidelines should be directed to the UUSS Office.

New Policy for Fundraising Activities at UUSS
|
|
The Board of Trustees initiated the Fundraising Strategy Team (FRST) to coordinate and plan fundraising at UUSS. In order to better coordinate fundraising activities, individuals or groups planning a fundraising activity at UUSS must submit an "Intent to Hold a Fundraising Activity Form at UUSS" to the Fundraising Strategy Team two months prior to the event. The fundraising form is available on the UUSS web site under "members" and "forms." It should be submitted to
FRST@uuss.org or to the receptionist in the UUSS office. The FRST will act promptly on these written requests.
The form needs to be completed for all fundraising activities even if the funds will go directly to an outside organization, such as the International Refugee Committee. Please contact
FRST@uuss.org if you have any questions about fundraising at UUSS.

JUSTICE WORK
Our Social Justice Theme-Confronting Economic Inequality
|
First Thursday Social Justice Movie Night
|
|
Join us for film and discussion on March 2, at 6:30 p.m., in the Welcome Hall. This month our Earth Justice Team shares an important movie about climate change
Before the Flood. The 96-minute film chronicles the awareness-raising travels of the Academy Award-winning actor, United Nations Ambassador of Peace, and longtime environmental advocate, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Before the Flood presents a riveting account of the dramatic changes now occurring around the world due to climate change, as well as the actions we as individuals and as a society can take to prevent catastrophic disruption of life on our planet. The film follows Leonardo DiCaprio as he travels to five continents and the Arctic speaking to scientists, world leaders, activists, and local residents to gain a deeper understanding of this complex issue and investigate concrete solutions to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.

On Sunday March 26, we will meet at 12:30 in the Library to discuss Elite by Mark Harris. Eugenics and social control aren't the first words that come to mind when Unitarian Universalists recall their proud progressive heritage. This provocative and critical look at class in Unitarian Universalist history reveals that today's largely middle-class and educated congregants are descended from an elite cultural establishment. The wealth, standing, and religious conviction of these forebears converged in actions and ideas that would be appalling by modern standards. Mark Harris eloquently argues that this history needs to be known in order for the denomination to envision a broader, more inclusive future. Elite is a crucial new resource for the historical understanding of Unitarian Universalism and a call for greater economic diversity.

Ray Reynolds, from the Adult Enrichment committee, has been hosting videos and discussions on the Great World Religions series. The videos are presented by five college professors who conduct an authoritative, informative, and up-to-date survey of the history and nature of the world's five major religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The DVDs are from the Great Courses and have been generously donated by Ray Reynolds. After the video a discussion will include what issues are most meaningful to each religion's adherents. The purpose is to enhance our knowledge of these major faiths and to view them in their totality as a unified, integrated human activity.
The videos and discussions are being presented each Friday afternoon in the library from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. and again from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. The presentations will run through March. You do not need to register for the session; just drop in. Additional information can be obtained at the Adult Enrichment table on Sunday mornings.

With great regrets, we are forced to cancel the UUSS All Ages Camp for 2017. The bridge to camp was washed out and the county's ability to begin to reconstruct the bridge will be delayed until the rainy season has ended.
Mark your calendar for next year though!

Our program continues to thrive because of you. Our volunteers and the growing number of families make Religious Education at UUSS a wonderful offering. Nursery attendance keeps Krystal and Yer very busy on Sunday mornings. Spirit Play invites our elementary group to be together sharing in story and artistic work. The Neighboring Faiths Program in our junior high group has visited St. Ignacio's Catholic Church, B'nai Israel, and SALAM mosque. Our senior high group has begun exploring a program recommended by the Unitarian Universalist Association called Created Equal. Spring is around the corner and I look forward to seeing you all on warmer mornings. Give me a call or send me an e-mail if you would like to connect about ideas or volunteer opportunities.
Please contact me if you have questions by e-mailing
