FROM REV. KELLIE:
My Dear Ones,
(for this edition of The Forum, I'm sharing the letter I wrote for the June 12th, 2022 Congregational Meeting Packet)
As I usually do, I read through my letter for the January congregational meeting as part of my preparation for writing this letter. At the time of writing the last letter, Ohio had just moved to the highest threat level measured by the website we used, COVID Act Now: Severe/Very, Very High. For perspective, COVID Act Now listed Severe/Very, Very High as over 525 weekly cases per 100,000. At our peak in January, we were over 2000 weekly cases per 100,000! Many UU congregations temporarily switched to online-only services (via Zoom, YouTube, and/or Facebook), including Cincinnati’s Heritage UUC.
Since that time, most area businesses and organizations have eliminated their COVID-19 precautions. For example, Cincinnati’s Heritage UUC has resumed meeting in-person and no longer requires masks indoors. The CDC has adopted a more general rating system, with risk assessment and interventions based on system strain instead of community spread. They have done this because of the availability of vaccines and treatments that do not require hospitalization. In addition, current variants are less severe than previous forms. COVID Act Now has followed.
It would appear the COVID-19 Pandemic is over.
Yet, we know that it is not.
Just talk to some of our congregants who have recovered from it recently. Just read the news articles about Long COVID, which affects some who had mild cases of COVID.
Also, the new case information is now less accurate because more people are using at-home testing and not reporting their results to local departments of health. Therefore, we know that the numbers are much higher than recorded. Finally, to thoroughly complicate matters, there are people in certain categories that still have a significantly higher risk of hospitalization and death: our children under 5 years old who still do not have a vaccine and our adults who fall in the following categories: aged 65 and older, immunocompromised, and/or with underlying conditions (lung disease, heart disease, cancer or cancer treatment, pregnancy, diabetes, mental health conditions, dementia and other neurological problems, kidney problems, liver problems, and asthma). To be frank, the majority of our congregants fall in at least one of these categories (some in multiple).
MVUUF’s COVID-19 Task Force (Barb Weber, Sara Davis, and I) is reviewing this conflicting mass of information in order to adapt our current COVID Guidelines, which are based on a rating system that no longer exists. We hope to present these updated guidelines for Board approval in June.
We are working diligently to protect MVUUF from three important threats: COVID-19, despair, and disconnection. We know that online church is not enough for our congregation to thrive. We know that we must allow more in-person gatherings and events. We know that we cannot forsake our online community for our in-person community. We know that we must connect these two communities better so that all our congregants can utilize their preferred forms of engagement. We do not want to endanger or leave behind any of our congregants.
I know that we can find a way forward together.
Uncertainty and Sustainability
For the last two months (April and May), I have been writing about uncertainty in my monthly Forum columns, reflecting on Rainer Maria Rilke’s words to his friend, the young poet, both in my personal life and in our shared faith life here at MVUUF. Rilke ends by saying, “And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
In the April 10 worship service, The Future of MVUUF, I announced that MVUUF is no longer pursuing a partnership with Harmony Creek United Church of Christ because Harmony Creek decided that they would like their own building. Instead, the Board has created a Sustainability Task Force, charged with developing a plan to make us financially sustainable within five years. This 5-person task force will work with the congregation to explore a wide variety of options and present a unified plan for a June 2023 congregational vote. If you are interested in volunteering for this important (and I think exciting) task force, please contact a Board member, Nominating Committee member, or me. You will find the Board’s Task Force Charge in the congregational meeting packet.
Since this service, I have spoken with many MVUUF members and friends who expressed a lot of anxiety around our current financial situation. I would like to share with you what I shared with them.
While I still have moments of anxiety over our gap between pledges and operating costs, I feel much better than I did at this point last year, when we first discovered this huge gap. As a reminder, this gap between income and expenses happened for a few reasons: 1) we changed how we estimated pledge income (this counted for approximately $40K of the gap), 2) we reduced fundraising expectations (this resulted in $20k of the gap), and 3) we lost approximately $35k from members who died or moved away.
Here is why I feel better this year: 1) you all donated $88k to a $95K Close-the-Gap campaign (WOW!!!), 2) you all donated $30k to this year’s Peace Heroes Trail campaign (the first year that we EXCEEDED our goal), 3) we filled all but one volunteer position in our January 2022 election, 4) in our May Volunteer Appreciation service, we honored 111 congregants who volunteered at least once this past program year (up from 95 last year), 5) our Board has charged a task force with a clear mission to create a plan to make MVUUF financially sustainable within five years (not one year as I feared last year), 6) we’re finding a lot of new and fun ways to have broader Dayton community engagement (talk to Jeff Bohrer about our MVUUF Ambassadors team if you’re interested jeffbohrer3@gmail.com), and 7) many of you have talked with me about your belief that we must change with our times because our faith community is life-saving—we need to stay alive, especially in a geographical area where hate is trying to crowd out love.
In order to stay alive AND thrive, I believe that we must act in counterintuitive ways because the old ways no longer match the world we live in. This is *not* a time for budget-slashing, scarcity thinking, scapegoating, or doing more of what worked in the past. This is a time for trying new volunteer structures, integrating the feedback of newer members and friends, feeling discomfort and uncertainty, finding new (maybe even radical) ways and spaces to gather, and investing *more* of MVUUF’s financial resources to spread our message of our liberal and welcoming multifaith congregation and religion throughout the Dayton community.
Thank you for sticking through this time of uncertainty in our world and in our congregation. Thank you for believing that discomfort and uncertainty are necessary for growth and transformation, both as individuals and as communities. Thank you for bringing your love, hope, and commitment to MVUUF during this difficult time. As the wise Octavia E. Butler told us, “All that you touch you Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change.”
To close, I share with you the current prayer of my heart:
May we remember that we are stronger and healthier when we are together. May we give ourselves permission to put roots down in this liminal space; to remain open, present, and hopeful as we learn to live in this new space; to play, imagine, dream and fantasize in this playground of possibility. May we know that discomfort and uncertainty are necessary for growth and transformation. May we find joy in the questions and joy in the Changes. May we live everything.
With much gratitude and love,
Kellie

Appointment Scheduler: calendly.com/kellieuukelly
I will be away from the Fellowship for a combination of denomination and vacation time from Monday, June 20th through Monday, July 11th. During this time, I will be traveling and not checking my email until my return, on Tuesday, July 12th. I will only be available for pastoral emergencies.
When, I’m not away, the best way to reach me quickly is to text or call my mobile phone between 9 AM and 8 PM on my office days: Monday through Thursday.
Please don’t worry if you call or text me on the wrong day—I just won’t reply unless it is a pastoral emergency.
If you have a pastoral emergency on any day of the week, text me with “URGENT” as the first line of your message or leave a message on my phone voicemail to let me know it is a pastoral emergency.
You can also schedule a quick call (less than 30 minutes) or longer meeting/visit (60 minutes via phone, Zoom, or in-person) with me online: calendly.com/kellieuukelly.

A MINUTE FOR MUSIC
Welcome Summer! Even if these days of school vacation and late evening sunsets do not mark a significant change in your own personal life rhythms, I hope you will feel grateful for this season of warmth. I hope too that these summer months will provide opportunities for you to relax, to let go, or perhaps just allow time to be outdoors and appreciate the beauty of living things.
Something our wise Director of Religious Education, Somaya Bernard, often reminds us: It is important, and maybe even a spiritual practice, to HAVE FUN! We’re allowed to be joyful! You have an opportunity for merriment this FRIDAY, June 3rd, starting 7:00 PM, to experience a “John Denver Sing-a-Long” led by our own Jeff Bohrer. All are welcome to come out; bring a friend or two with you! And the next day, please come join us for the Dayton Pride celebration, Sat. June 4th, at 11:00am (see Friday E-blast) and Sun., June 5th in Beavercreek.
Looking ahead, we are excited to be hosting a public concert on: Thursday, September 8th, by The Friel Sisters! (hear some of their music in this link) https://www.virtuartists.com/friel-sisters/ In addition to being a lot of fun, this will be yet another outreach beyond our walls that can draw people to MVUUF and all that UUism has to offer.
Stay well and enjoy the sunlight!
---Sara Davis, Director of Music

SCHEDULING EVENTS AT MVUUF
When you are planning an event to be held at MVUUF, the first thing you should do is check out the MVUUF Google calendar (here's the LINK) to see if the date you have in mind is available.
But did you also know that when you are ready to make the date "official" you need to contact our Fellowship Administrator, Jennie Freiberger, to get the event scheduled for you? This very important second step is necessary to make sure everything works the way it should so that your event can be successful, and should be done BEFORE being advertised anywhere. Once the event is scheduled, the process begins of having info posted in our monthly Forum and weekly eBlast, and on our Facebook pages.
You can reach Jennie at admin@mvuuf.org or 937.436.3628.

While our congregational meetings are open to everyone, attendance at them are a privilege and a commitment of our Voting Members; all Voting Members are encouraged to attend.

CONNECTING WITH MVUUF
Whether you are an “old” member, a newcomer, a long-time friend, or an occasional visitor, you are reading this because you are somehow “connected” to the Miami Valley UU Fellowship. We are glad you are here! We are trying something new to help more of us become connected to the fellowship in a meaningful way. You know we have a lot to offer, and we know you have something to offer us, but how best to find your niche? The hope is that I can help you on that journey.
Send an email to connection@mvuuf.org and it will magically appear in my email. If you put the word “connection” in the subject line, I’ll know that it is VERY important, and I’ll read it immediately. You may ask questions, tell me about yourself, include your phone number if you’d like to talk, and we will begin searching together. UUism can open your eyes and your heart and MVUUF is “where it’s at” in Dayton.
In the spirit,
Diane Colvin, Connection Coordinator
