FROM REV. KELLIE...
My Dear Ones,
First and foremost, I apologize that you are receiving our August Forum newsletter during the second week of the month— this is even late by my relaxed standards, eek. As you might remember, in my April column, I explained that I am what delays our Forum release 99.99% of the time.
Even with our new COVID-19 adaptations, I spend the vast majority of my work time in meetings and visits, with several days a week going from morning through evening with only quick breaks for meals. I do not say this as a complaint— I LOVE the amount of time I spend with you all. These meetings and visits are the very reason I became a minister. Alas, when they are combined with service preparation, I have little to no time for writing newsletter columns or sending email messages.
Metaphorically, I know that I need to stop driving 75-mph in a 50-mph zone. I know it isn’t good for my car. I know that I need to prioritize car maintenance (balance and self-care) if I’m going to get 200,000 miles out of my car (our shared ministry).
With all of this in mind, our phenomenal Fellowship Administrator and newsletter editor, Jennie Freiberger, is going to release The Forum without my column from now on. I imagine this means you will receive it by the first of each month (she is magical that way). And I… will continue to look for different ways, places, and times to share my reflections with you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Holding you in my heart,
Rev. Kellie

A MINUTE FOR MUSIC
In these days of physical separation (a term I much prefer over “social distancing”) I am spending probably too much time connecting with people via Facebook. But I did see a wonderful post about a letter written by Kurt Vonnegut to high school students. In part, his advice for them was: “Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.” (You can read the full letter HERE.)
One of my deep regrets about being an adult is that I’ve almost forgotten how to play: how to have fun, to simply enjoy present moments of curiosity with no other purpose or goal. Along with Vonnegut, I hope you to will find time to practice any creativity that brings you joy and grows your soul.

CYRE NEWS
Hello hello hello!
Wow I can hardly believe it’s already August. It’s almost time to start talking about the curriculum year! We hope to start our soul matters curriculum in early October, at which time everyone will move to the next grade. The Soul Matters curriculum has divided their lessons into two classes this year, pre k - 1st grade and 2nd grade - 5th grade. We’ve decided to adopt these class levels for the rest of the summer as well. The pre k - 1st grade group will be meeting at 9-9:30 AM on Sunday mornings, for a quick check in and maybe a show-and-tell. We are also going to try some on-demand RE for this age group. The 2nd grade - 5th grade group will meet at 1-2:00 PM on Sunday afternoons. The high school group and middle school group will continue to meet combined; however now they will meet every other Sunday at 2:30 PM.
For the rest of the summer the elementary school kids will be doing a curriculum called Growing Anti-Racist UUs. This follows a very carefully designed lesson plan that will lead the kids through understanding racism and how we can work against it.
The middle school and high school group will continue to have youth-led discussions on topics of their choice. They’ll decide different topics for their meeting and then get together to talk on Zoom.
I hope that you can join us in CYRE! It’s been so amazing that the kids and youth are still able to connect and strengthen their bonds as we continue on with our virtual community. Thank you for being part of it!
If you have any questions please email me at RE@mvuuf.org, or you can reach me by text on my cell 937-6940-594

BOOK DRIVE FOR WESTWOOD ELEMENTARY
Begins August 1st
Help support two of our partners serving the West Dayton community!
Westwood PreK-6 School: At the MVUUF Book Drive last August we collected hundreds of new and used children’s books for Westwood students. We delivered over 100 of the books directly to Principal Shelley Murphy and we used the rest to stock the “little library" (shown at left) at Westwood’s main entrance from September-March. This year, with the fellowship closed, our book drive will be a bit more challenging, but we still want to collect as many books as we can for the kids at Westwood.
|
|
Wesley Community Center: In a new initiative this year our West Dayton Action Group is creating “Little Literacy Kits” for the Wesley Center’s Baby Ready Program. Each kit (shown at right) contains three baby books, information on the importance of reading with your child, and a registration form for a national program that sends free books to kids. Our goal is to provide a kit to every mom in the Baby Ready Program, which is about 75 per year.
How to help?
1. Donate books - Purchase new books or donate used books in good condition that you no longer need. Books for Westwood should be suitable for ages 4-12. Books for the Wesley Center should be small board books suitable for babies and toddlers. When your books are ready contact Steve Steel to arrange a safe, no-contact pickup.
2. Donate money - Mail a check to the fellowship made out to MVUUF with “book drive” in the memo line, or donate online on the MVUUF fundraising page (a link for the book drive under “other fundraising” can now be found on our online giving page). All monetary donations will be used to purchase discounted books at the Firstbook website from their “African American Characters and Cultures” section.
Contact Steve Steel at 937-304-4087 or steel.steven@yahoo.com for more information and get ready to support this important project to benefit our West Dayton neighbors.

ROOTED, INSPIRED AND READY:
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
This past June, the UUA held its first all-on-line General Assembly (GA). In spite of how quickly they had to move from an in-person event for thousands to an on-line event with near-record turnout, the experience was rich. Fortunately, the UUA had been holding space for on-line delegates for nine years to increase access to our association’s democratic practice. As a result, things such as voting and access to sessions through an on-line portal were smooth.
The benefits? No long lines at the gender-neutral bathrooms, no expensive hotels and overpriced buffet breakfasts, no long lines for coffee. The downside? Worship and music – while powerful – was on a screen, couldn’t see and hug friends, no serendipitous conversations with people from anywhere in the country, and no UUA bookstore to browse. It was still worth it and I would recommend it for those who can’t make the trip.

LAUNCHING THE PEACE HEROES TRAIL
ON THE MVUUF CAMPUS ON SEPTEMBER 6!
KUDOS to the 17 team captains and more than fifty donors who helped raise $24,000 to date to support peace literacy education in the Miami Valley and the establishment of the first-in-the-nation Peace Heroes Trail on the MVUUF campus.
WE ARE ALMOST THERE! Special thanks to those teams who are still hard at work to raise additional funds that will make it possible for us to reach our $25,000 goal (after expenses).
This project began as a continuation of the annual Peace Heroes Walks that have been taking place in the Miami Valley for the past five years. In the midst of the pandemic it has been reinvented to meet the challenges of these present times we are living in and through.
MORE THAN EVER, MIAMI VALLEY NEEDS PEACE LITERACY! 100% of the funds (after event expenses) have been designated for the peace literacy work conducted by MVUUF in collaboration with many community partners (see list of activities HERE).
The trail will feature 20 attractive trail marker signs on the MVUUF campus plus a Virtual Peace Heroes Trail that can be accessed while touring the site. Teams selected Peace Heroes to honor and have provided summary info that is being placed on the markers.
STIMULATE PEACE LITERACY. Please consider using a portion of your anticipated next stimulus check to support the MVUUF Meditative Peace Trail. Take a look at the project website peaceheroeswalk.org
You can make a donation directly to MVUUF with the designation, “Peace Heroes Trail.”
SPREAD THE INSPIRATION. For a little inspiration, take a listen to the song written by project coordinators, Rev. Kellie Kelly and Jerry Leggett,
CELEBRATE THE POWER OF THE WE! More than ever, our world and the Miami Valley needs Peace Heroes to light our way! Please join this community-wide effort to lift up the everyday people around the block and around the world who inspire the power of the “we” to help Miami Valley better thrive!

WE'RE A CARING COMMUNITY:
PASTORAL CARE "BROWN BAG" WORKSHOP
Coming Saturday, September 12th, Noon--3:00 PM
Have you ever wondered what "pastoral care" is, especially within a Unitarian Universalist congregation where many congregants are humanist, atheist, or agnostic?
Rev. Kellie will lead an interactive workshop to help us learn the basics of pastoral care so that we can ask for it when we need it, offer it to fellow congregants in our small groups (whether choir or a social justice action team), and refer a congregant to Rev. Kellie and the pastoral associates if needed.
|
|
Many of us are already offering each other pastoral care without even realizing it. Pastoral care is the companioning of another person while they handle a difficult situation or illness. It is deep listening and reflecting without fixing, advising, or judging.
Because we’ll be having this workshop via Zoom, we invite attendees to bring their own “brown-bag” lunch and snacks so that we can make sitting at a computer as comfy as possible. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please contact Rev. Kellie at minister@mvuuf.org or mobile phone 847.804.4614.

SOUL MATTERS SMALL GROUPS
Sign Ups Coming Later This Month
During the next few weeks you will have the opportunity to join a Soul Matters Small Group during the 2020-2021 program year at MVUUF. These small groups bring 8-10 people together for a once-a-month sharing and listening session using the same theme as our worship service does. The monthly packet offers readings, activities and internet resources to inspire and challenge you, plus the added enrichment of interaction with your group.
The last few months have made it difficult to really share with each other in a meaningful way, and taking part in a Soul Matters Group via Zoom may be just what you’ve been missing! Groups will meet once a month, with morning, afternoon and evening time slots available. You will decide what works for your schedule and will indicate that when you sign up to participate.
Look for an email with Soul Matters Sign-up in the subject line during August and plan to participate in one of the spiritual activities that MVUUF offers members and friends.
