Rev. Jen Returns with Gratitude & Renewed Energy |
|
Greetings!
In this week of grief, relief, resistance, and hope, I am so glad to be back with you all. There is so much work ahead in our nation if we are ever to live into the ideals many of us proclaim. There is so much grieving to go through as we name our losses and the harms done. There is so much joy in the celebration of a new day, in survival and transformation. Together, we can hold it all and create the world we dream about.
I’m grateful for the sabbatical time that this congregation gifted me, and I return to you full of energy and commitment to our shared future. Time away from the rhythm of my regular ministry responsibilities allowed me to complete and submit the manuscript for my upcoming book to my publisher, re-establish healthy routines of spiritual practice and exercise, and support my family as my children continue in distance learning and my wife continues her work at the VA hospital. I am so grateful for this time away, and I am so glad to be back. Your staff team and lay leaders continue to embody our shared motto of, “We’ve got this, together.” Thank you to all of you for this time.
While I was away, I continued to work on our building project, shepherding our second and final phase of renovations as we move forward. In November, the Board of Trustees authorized staff to proceed with Phase 2 of renovations so that construction could be completed by September 1. Our hope is that the building will be ready for us and our community when we are able to return to meeting in person. This past Sunday, an informational meeting with the congregation was held to share information about the upcoming renovations, including the scope of the project, financing, budget, team composition, and preliminary designs. You can watch the recording of the meeting here.
We continue to focus on improving our welcoming hospitality and accessibility for all. At the end of this project, our building will better facilitate our ministry and mission, and will truly be a space that is Not for Ourselves Alone, as we Build an Inclusive Future.
Together, we build our lives, our church, and our country, in hope.
In gratitude,
Jen

MULTIGENERATIONAL WORSHIP |

Sunday, Jan. 24, 10 a.m.
"Existence as Resistance"
Rev. Jen Crow
In a society that wants you erased, existence is resistance. In a country where laws have limited your access to resources and opportunity, to safety and basic human rights, survival is a form of resistance. In a time when lies are fed to the masses, naming the truth is resistance. As we take a collective breath this week, we will remember that for many of us, existence is an act of resistance. We will remember those who did not make it with us to this moment, and we will acknowledge the parts of ourselves that have been injured even as we have survived. Together, we will continue to heal.

January 17 Worship: "A Dream or a Nightmare?"
with Rev. Justin Schroeder
Sermon summary & reflections by Liz Farmer:
The concept of racial hierarchy was introduced by wealthy white people in power in order to pull poor whites into alliance with them. By creating policies that advantaged them and that gave poor whites slightly better living conditions and a tiny bit more freedom and access, they racially fortified the dream—not reality—of what it means to be white. Rev. Justin references Ta-Nehisi Coates’ play on Dr. Martin Luther King's "Dream" language. Ta-Nehisi Coates explains the difference between those who exist in a dream state of being “better than,” and those who dream of a reality in which we have dismantled the lies (the nightmare) of White Supremacy Culture. How can our faith community at First Universalist, drawing on spiritual resources we have, actually work to change and repair this country? We all, respective of our privileges and identities, have a role to play to build the Beloved Community.

January Worship Theme: Choosing Change |
|
As we move into 2021, clear that we cannot return to “normal,” how will we actively “choose change,” re-imagine our lives, our purpose, the structure of our society, and the things we focus on? The answer to these questions rests in choices both small and large. Change sometimes feels impossible, but we forget that change is dynamic, alive, lurking in every corner, and is happening all around us, all the time. Change can begin when we speak the truth, when we turn toward the feeling rising in us, rather than push it away, when we name what is real for us, and listen to what is real for others, and when we stop, and take a breath, before we respond. In her book, Parable of the Sower, science fiction writer Octavia Butler writes, “All that you touch you change. All that you change changes you. The only lasting truth is change. God is change.” These words invite us to consider: What does it mean to choose change? To step fully into the “God flow,” the river of change, wide awake, and let it work on us, and us on it, as it shapes our relationships, spirit, and the course of our lives? When it comes to choosing change, the poet John O’Donahue offers these questions to reflect on: “Where could I have exposed myself to the risk of something different? Where did I allow myself to receive love? What reached me today? How deep did it imprint? What did I avoid today?”
This month, through message, song, prayer, and video, we will explore what it means to “choose change” and to embrace the lasting truth that is change.

Not for Ourselves Alone: Building an Inclusive Future
Phase 2 Remodeling Update from Jan. 17 Meeting
|
|
Did you miss the Phase 2 Remodeling Update Meeting last Sunday, Jan. 17? The meeting included a discussion with Co-Senior Minister Rev. Jen Crow, Board President Bryana French, Treasurer Keven Ambrus, Owner's Representative Chelsea Waters, and architects Stacee Demmer and Erin Grammas about the timing, design, finances, and leaders responsible for Phase 2 of our building renovations. The team also welcomed community input and feedback and answered attendee questions. You can watch a recording of the meeting on our YouTube channel.
As was mentioned in the meeting, we are currently in the initial planning and design phase for Phase 2 of our renovation project, and we anticipate work happening May through September 2021. Phase 2 will include renovation of the Sanctuary, Social Hall, and Atrium, as well as repairs of the exterior of the building and new sloped sidewalks for greater accessibility. Our focus will be on increasing inclusion and improving accessibility, enhancing beauty and a greater sense of welcoming, addressing needed repairs, upgrading our live streaming capabilities and our air-handling systems, and reducing our environmental impact. We remain committed to creating a space that represents our values and our wide welcome to all, and we trust that in this time of national upheaval, this faith community is an excellent investment. Together we will continue to build an actively anti-racist, multi-cultural congregation that heals hearts and transforms the world. For more information about Phase 2 of our renovation project you can visit our website. Email Co-Senior Minister Jen Crow with any questions you may have that were not addressed in the meeting this past Sunday.

Increasing Disability Access in Our Communications |
|
As you read The Liberal this week, you may notice that we have added image descriptions and alt-text to the images we use. Image descriptions and alt-text help make our email communications more accessible, specifically to blind, elderly, or visually impaired folks who can't see images, can’t see details or color in images, or use a screen reader. Image descriptions and alt-text also communicate information about images to people whose technology does not support a certain image file type or cannot load a certain image. Image descriptions generally appear immediately above or below an image, while alt-text is embedded in the image and is accessible to screen readers or when an image will not load normally.
Both image descriptions and alt-text include brief descriptions of an image, including colors, text, and other important visual information. Using image descriptions and alt-text ensures that our blind and visually impaired community members, along with community members with limited access to technology, can access the same information as sighted people even without seeing the images. Adding image descriptions and alt-text to our email communications is just one way that First Universalist lives out our commitment to including our disabled and elder congregants in the life of our community. For more information about image descriptions and alt-text, check out this article from the American Anthropological Association.

Voices of the Choir: Behind the Scenes |
|
Submitted by Ben Cooper
How can Randy, our Director of Choral Arts, communicate the subtleties he wants in a musical piece when he is so separated from the singers by COVID-19 and the distance of the online rehearsal space the pandemic necessitates?
The process starts with Randy marking up his paper copy of the score to indicate pronunciation, places to breathe, variations in tempo, and so on. Sometimes he substitutes words to suit Unitarian Universalist sensibilities. Then he scans his pages to me, and my five to 30 hours of work begin.
In scanning, nearly every page will depart slightly from the horizontal, so its angle of deviation has to be measured, then the page rotated in software. I use a graphics program to change Randy’s handwritten marks into a cleaned-up version, as shown in the illustration.
|
|
[Image Description: a musical score of the piece Gaelic Blessing with handwritten notations.] |
|
My last big challenge is to get the score to scroll across the top or bottom of a video Randy has made of himself conducting an audio track. First, I copy and paste the lines of music side by side to produce one (very) wide graphic image. Then, in movie-making mode, I induce the software to pan from one end of the image to the other. The tricky part is to keep the measures flowing by in tempo with the music, even though measures with lots of notes can be twice as wide on the page as measures with a single long note. Throughout the piece, I might need to adjust the panning speed twenty times!
It’s satisfying to be part of the collaborative team of fellow choir members, each of us contributing to the finished whole.

An Invitation to Create a Short Video for Worship |
|
We are excited to continue to find ways to weave a variety of congregant voices and experiences into our online worship services, in order to lift up and celebrate the variety of lived experiences, identities, and truths that make up our faith community. Here are two opportunities to share your stories in our worship service:
Respond to January’s worship theme “Choosing Change”
**due January 23**
We recognize that often change isn’t chosen; sometimes it is forced upon us; sometimes the bottom of our world drops out and all we know is change; other times, choosing change can be wrapped up in layers of privilege - we have options and can make choices about the change we chose. As we move into the New Year, many of us are consciously choosing change, or choosing how we respond to change, summoning the courage to speak our truths, to work on our sobriety, to try new things, to engage new spiritual practices, and to change patterns and habits. For this video, which will be shown in worship on Sunday, Jan. 31, we invite you to consider a change you are in the middle of.
Instructions:
- Share you name and name the change you are in the midst of. (One sentence.)
- What are you learning in the midst of this change? (One sentence.)
- In what ways are you resisting this change? (One sentence.)
- Are there new horizons opening up as a result of this change? (One sentence.)
Deadline: Saturday, Jan. 23, by noon.
What Brought You Joy this Week?
Even amidst the pandemic, a violent insurrection at the Capitol, and the uncertainty this time brings, joy exists! We want to make space in our worship services for joy. Will you share your joy with us? We invite you to share - in 30 seconds or less - a video response to “What brought you joy this week?” Was it music? A night walk? A poem? A meal?
Instructions:
- Share your name and tell us what brought you joy and delight! Be as specific as possible. Share your joy with us. (No longer than 30 seconds, please.)
Deadline: Submit a video whenever you can. Beginning in February, we hope to regularly include “Joy” videos in our service.
How to Record and Submit Your Video
Suggested ways record and submit your video:
- Record using your smartphone, in Zoom, or in Quicktime
Requests/tips:
- Please record horizontally (landscape) if recording on a smartphone
- Keep phone steady/use a tripod (google how to easily make a cardboard phone!)
- Look at the camera lens (don’t watch yourself talk)
- Staff can trim videos, so don't worry about editing out extra time at the start/finish
- Speak audibly and clearly

First Universalist Foundation Board
Accepting Nominations through January 29
|
|
The First Universalist Foundation Board is accepting nominations through this form until Friday, Jan. 29, 2021 from First Universalist congregants (regardless of membership status) and senior high youth in the church. One (1) person must submit a nomination backed by two (2) co-signers. Nominee organizations that are selected will then be sent our grant application.
At this time the Foundation welcomes nominations of organizations that address racial justice, climate justice, and human rights. We are also interested in organizations whose leadership includes Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), women, or individuals from disenfranchised communities. This year we are particularly interested in supporting organizations with smaller budgets (for whom our grant may make a significant difference) and newer organizations or initiatives which are addressing the disparities that events of 2020 have laid bare. Organizations that have not applied for a Foundation Board grant in the past are encouraged.
Historically the Foundation Board has given out grants ranging from $5,000 - $20,000.
Please note our mission and giving criteria which will heavily inform our decisions.
Mission Statement
First Universalist Foundation acts as a catalyst for social change by promoting and supporting the development of emerging leaders, youth, young adults, and/or disenfranchised communities through monetary grants to nonprofits working in those communities.
Giving Priorities and Criteria
1. Demonstrate the potential to address one or more causes or forms of injustice.
2. Work to engage youth, young adults, and/or disenfranchised communities in the work of social change.
3. Have a commitment to measuring the impact or success of the funded program.
4. Focus on the Twin Cities community.
5. Organizations with annual budgets of less than $1,000,000 will be given greater priority.
6. Organizations that have been funded 3 times in the last 5 years may be considered lower priority.

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, 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.

Take 2: Honor the Earth and the Food We Love! |
|
Mark your calendar for noon on Wednesday, Jan. 27 for Take 2: Honor the Earth & the Food We Love!, a program from the Environmental Justice Committee’s Food Solutions Team to engage congregants in taking steps to adopt climate friendly food habits. You may remember the title from a similar program last November. We’re doing it again to persuade 200 congregants to join with millions across the globe to reduce food waste and eat less meat and more plant foods. Why? Because they are among top three highest impact solutions to global warming. The program includes a few 6-minute presentations that include “testimonies” from our First U community, a love letter to food, and time to reflect and share our next steps. You’ll leave with practical tips, resolve, and tools to help you on your path forward. Check out this preview on our YouTube channel and sign up through this form by January 25.
