There Is Always a Place for You at Church |
|
Greetings!
Friends, when we closed the church last year, our most optimistic projections were that we’d have a vaccine in 12-18 months, and that we’d be looking at returning to in-person gatherings in the fall of 2021. Amazingly, those “best case” projections have come to pass. Every day, more and more people are getting vaccinated. Here in MN, the Governor’s office and our public health authorities are issuing guidelines for decreased restrictions and increased opportunities to gather. It is really happening. You’re likely wondering what that means for church, and for how you’ll connect to the congregation in the weeks and months to come. The first and most important thing we want you to know is that there will always be a place for you at church.
Here’s what’s happening right now:
Construction on the second phase of our renovations began on March 15 and is scheduled to be completed by early September, just in time for our traditional “return to church” Ingathering and Water Communion service on September 12. Our intent is that this will be our first service together in the newly renovated sanctuary and that we will be as fully “open” as we can be based on the most up to date guidelines from the MN Dept of Health. Even after we return to worship in-person, services will continue to be available online as well. However you plan to be part of the church—online or in-person—there will always be a place here for you.
What this means for in-person gathering, programs, and services between now and then:
Through this spring and summer, we will continue as we have for the last year: we will not be holding in-person worship or programming, and the ministers of the church will be providing limited in-person pastoral care in emergency and end of life situations, as well as small rites of passage services like memorials and weddings. Please consult with a minister if you have questions.
Like you, we desperately want to return to being together in-person. This pandemic and the separation it has brought has been challenging in so many ways. And what remains true is that our top-level commitments are to safety for all and broad inclusion. When we say that there will always be a place for you, we mean all of you. As we plan for returning to the church building, we are following guidelines from the MN Department of Health and consulting with the public health experts in our congregation.
We will have one chance to gather in person for worship this summer - outdoors at the Lake Harriet Bandshell, planned for August 15. Stay tuned for more info!
As we move toward our return, we could also use some help from you. Later this summer, there will be a need for setting up the classrooms/meeting rooms, readying the social hall, and other “get the church ready” activities. Also, knowing that we intend to continue offering online worship and programming, it would be extraordinarily helpful to know how you’re thinking about engaging the church come the fall - in-person, online, both, depending on the weather? To help us get a better sense of how you plan to participate in the future, we’d love your feedback on this short survey.
Please be in touch with any questions, comments or concerns, and thank you for all you’ve done and are doing to help shepherd our congregation through this liminal time. The time to gather in person is drawing near and we can’t wait to see you again.
In faith,
— Rev. Arif Mamdani and the Staff Leadership Team (Rev. Jen, Rev. Justin, Rev. Karen, Lauren Wyeth, Jenn Stromberg, and Julica Hermann de la Fuente)

"The Holy Fool"
Rev. Justin Schroeder
Sometimes we think of the religious life as serious and staid. But in every faith and spiritual tradition, there exists a trickster, fool, clown, jester, buffoon, or “simpleton” that disrupts, mocks, pokes fun at, and questions authority—religious and otherwise.
The purpose of the “holy fool” is to upend what we think we know, to shatter our perceptions of what is real, and to reveal a deeper truth. Play, playfulness, riddles, and humor are all tools of the “holy fool,” designed to snap us out of our waking slumber, out of our certainty, and into a new understanding of life and ourselves.
In this time of environmental collapse, of racial justice uprising, of life altered by a pandemic, what might we learn from the “holy fools” of history, from the “holy fools” of our own time; and how might we embody and practice holy foolishness? Join us for worship Sunday, April 11 at 10 a.m., which will include a story for all ages, sharing our joys and concerns, special music from the First Universalist Choir that you will not want to miss, and a message.

April 4 Worship: "Practicing Resurrection in this Moment"
with Rev. Justin Schroeder
Sermon summary & reflections by Liz Farmer:
Easter is often a day on which we celebrate rebirth and resurrection. For Unitarian Universalists, Easter commemorates hope, faith, and possibility, and a resurrection of the spirit. As an ancient holiday that stems from pagan rituals which symbolize the turning of the seasons, Easter feels particularly spiritually salient this year. We are turning a corner in the pandemic, and Minneapolis turns a corner in the fight for justice for George Floyd as the trial of Derek Chauvin is underway. In both instances, while there is hope and the possibility of a new way of life, we still have many turns to go. Therefore, the apt Sacred Text for this moment is the Chauvin trial itself. We go back to teacher Jesus, who knew the danger of challenging the power of the state as he proclaimed that the Roman Empire’s sense of justice and rightness was completely compromised for the benefit of the Empire. Jesus taught that the Roman Empire had forgotten the mandate to love life and work for justice. This year, Easter is an honest confrontation with the mythology of the status quo. What might this look like for our community on our racial justice journey? How can we engage in resurrection and help new life break through the stale, old places in our imaginations? We can do things differently together, as a community, if we are open to new possibilities.

April Worship Theme: Accountability |
|
It’s been suggested that the spiritual practice of accountability is being answerable to someone who helps you stay on target for your spiritual goals and your other life endeavors. In this frame, accountability is something that happens between two people (or a small group of people) who are open, honest, and transparent with each other about what is really happening in their lives, the struggles they are facing, and how they are responding. Together, they check in on each other, encourage each other, and remind each other of the promises and commitments they’ve made. Who are you accountable to in your life?

|
Voices from the Congregation |
|
“What does First Universalist mean to you? How has First Universalist helped you get through this past year, providing comfort, support, and spiritual sustenance?”
Those are the questions we asked nearly a dozen congregants over the past month, and their answers have been poignant and profound. They’ve all pointed to the reality that in challenging times, we need a community to help us get through.
While some of you might know Andrew Tralle for the music videos he’s put together for our worship services, and Claire Tralle for her involvement with the Our Wholes Lives Curriculum at church, after you watch this two minute video you’ll know them in a whole different way as they share part of what they’ve gone through this past year, and how they church has been there for them.
We have other touching stories, as well, from congregants 1000s of miles away from Minneapolis, from families, from people who joined us this year, virtually, and from many others. Take a few minutes to watch and listen to these stories and to know that you are part of a community making a real and tangible difference in people’s lives.

Black Lives Matter Sign Project: Signs Available |
|
The BLM Lawn Signs project continues this Spring to make signs available throughout the Twin Cities while cycling all proceeds to Black-led justice efforts – at this time we’ve given over $60,000! The project was started in 2015 by SURJ MN, at a request from Black Lives Matter Minneapolis members, and has been directed since 2016 by church member Denise Konen with fiscal sponsorship by the church. It has grown and been sustained by many volunteers from the wider community, including First Universalist Church members, providing pick-up locations at events, parks, churches and businesses in dozens of locations.
First Universalist is helping to channel the city-wide outpouring of financial and human resources that followed George Floyd's murder toward Black leaders working to transform our notions of public safety, healing, and communal responsibility. This is an opening for you to learn about and participate in creating systemic change in our relationships with one another, in policing, education, health care, businesses, and city and state government, as we work together for our collective freedom.
Would you like to get a sign or, better yet, help distribute Black Lives Matter signs at an outdoor pick-up location of your choosing this Spring or Summer? Distributing signs while having conversations with others about racial justice is a simple way to support the movement for Black lives, with a limited time commitment. Just contact Rob Machalek at blmlawnsigns@gmail.com and he’ll help you with all the details and, of course, supply the signs.

Below are two reflections in a series of what the Good Goodbye team plans as a regular weekly feature of the Liberal: words from our community about Justin’s ministry. |
|
Rev. Justin's Good Goodbye:
A Reflection from Richard Spratt & Kayci Rush
|
|
By Richard Spratt & Kayci Rush. Richard & Kayci were members of the Racial Justice Change Team. Richard works as a Social Work Anti-Oppressive Consultant and Kayci is a school social worker for Minneapolis Public Schools.
Having taken the bold and courageous step to explore white supremacy within the UU church, with a focus on examination and change, was a courageous decision. It takes perseverance to dismantle systemic racism and there are challenges at every turn. No one can do this work alone. Justin, you have planted the seeds of racial justice and we believe Justin’s departure is a call for each of us in this church to carry on the racial justice work Justin started. Justin, we look forward to seeing where your racial justice journey takes you. As Justice often reminds us, Racial Justice is the work love is calling us to do. No Justice. No Love.

Rev. Justin's Good Goodbye:
A Reflection from Bryana French
|
|
By Bryana French. Bryana is President of the church’s Board of Trustees. She joined the church in 2015. She is a tenured professor and a licensed psychologist specializing in multicultural and social justice counseling development.
Dear Congregants,
The fact that I’m Board president is kind of remarkable. I was never raised in a church and have a complicated history with organized religion. When I visited churches, I was either at odds with the message coming from the traditional pulpit, that felt rigid and oppressive, or that there lacked a spiritual and cultural connection in the more cerebral UU spaces. Before joining First Universalist, I could probably count on one hand how many time’s I’d attended a church service.
But something was missing in my life and I needed to feel a spiritual grounding. So, when I moved back to MN in 2014, I googled “social justice churches” and First Universalist was the first to pop up. I remember the first sermon and how pleasantly surprised I was with Rev. Justin’s unapologetic but loving call to White congregants to acknowledge racism and the role they play in it. That racial justice is a spiritual imperative. I was so used to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color doing the work. At that time, there weren’t as many White folks stepping up in the way they are now and certainly not in a faith community. But at First Universalist, people weren’t just showing up, they were on the front lines getting arrested at BLM protests. The initiative that Justin supported to have a POCI only spiritual space while predominantly White members worked toward racial justice was essential in creating a community within a community that I have come to love. It was refreshing.
So, I joined the church - the first church I’ve ever been a member of and I am grateful to be part of this community. I joke – but it’s true – that I went from never attending a church to relatively quickly became the “church lady” – volunteering as an usher, Racial Justice Leadership Team member, Board member, and now Board president. I am also grateful to have Justin's personal touch in my life. He married me and my husband in August 2019. He listened carefully to our needs and hopes for the wedding, and blended this exquisitely - particularly for my husband who left the Catholic church and is not religious or spiritual in any form. It was beautiful and I am honored that he married us.
Rev. Justin’s vision to move toward Racial Justice is what brought me to the church, and has had a big role in keeping me here. We are striving, messily, to live out our faith in public. Justin, you are a gift to Universalist Unitarianism, and to the people you touch. I will miss you greatly – yet am happy that you’re prioritizing your personal and family’s needs. Thank you for everything you’ve given us.
Bryana

Rev. Justin's Good Goodbye:
Opportunities to Give and Share
|
|
Rev. Justin would love to have videos from First U members bidding him farewell. These videos are sure to be a treasure that he will enjoy for years to come as he looks back on his time with us. If you are interested in saying your Good Goodbye via video, send it to Justin using wetransfer.com (you don't have to create an account to use it; scroll to the bottom of the page and select "I just want to send files.") When prompted, enter Justin's email address, justin@firstuniv.org, and upload your video. Justin will be able to save and view these permanently. We ask that your video be no more than three to five minutes and that you submit it by June 6. If you have questions or need help, email Frederic MacDonald-Dennis at fmacden@gmail.com or Ben Cooper at ben@bcooper.org.
Also, feel free to send a good goodbye email directly to Justin at justin@firstuniv.org. And remember, letters, notes, and cards are welcome. There’s a special keepsake box in Justin's office so he can receive them any time and enjoy reading them now and in the future. Send them to: Rev. Justin Schroeder, 3400 Dupont Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55408. These communications may of course include words to Juliana, Tucker and Jesse.
And, because you asked: The Good Goodbye team has gotten a small gift for Justin, on behalf of the congregation. But some of you have asked if individual monetary gifts may be made. Of course they may and the question is not a surprising one. We are a congregation of generous, loving spirits. If the spirit moves you, the details below give instructions. But please, feel no obligation. Justin is feeling the love coming from us all in so many ways.
Electronic gifts for Justin can be made here. Checks can be sent to the church with "Justin's Goodbye" in the memo line. Any questions can be directed to Finance Assistant, Chelsea Bertsch at chelsea@firstuniv.org. Please note that such gifts are not tax deductible donations; and they are separate from ongoing church support.
If you have questions or comments about the Good Goodbye (GG) plans, please contact a member of the GG Team: Ginny McAninch, chair; Bette DeMars, Lena K. Gardner, Nancy Gaschott, Rich Jaeger, Frederic MacDonald-Dennis, and Karin Wille. Ginny McAninch can be reached by email at ginny.mc1947@gmail.com. Together, we will create a good goodbye! |

We Care Ministries at First Universalist Church |
|
The care team at First Universalist is here to help in a whole lot of ways—from phone calls to say we’re thinking about you to a listening ear when you need someone to accompany you through whatever’s happening in your life. COVID-19 has changed some of the ways we provide care, but there is a lot we’re still doing. Here is one of the ways we’re here to provide support:
We Care Love Kits
In March 2020, we created Love Kits as a way to provide some resources and support to folks who were isolated, experiencing loss, families having a difficult time with the reality of COVID, and those experiencing hospitalization or illness in this time of enforced distance.
