Diane Dowgiert All our lives we experience loss. The attendant of loss is grief. Though the reality of grief is universal, each person will experience it differently. There are some touchstones to ground us as we journey through grief and loss. The arduous journey is ultimately a spiritual journey; each touchstone an invitation to know and understand ourselves more deeply. Oct. 11: Into the Woods Rev. Diane Dowgiert Have you ever noticed how many classic children’s fairy tales are set in the woods? Symbolically, it is where we encounter the darker, more frightening aspects of life. Today we will explore the richness the dark woods can bring to our lives. Oct. 18: More Than Numbers Rev. Diane Dowgiert How do we deal with the immeasurable loss of life from COVID-19? The numbers are staggering. Behind every number is a person with hopes and dreams, likes and dislikes, parents and grandparents, maybe siblings, children, and grandchildren. We’ll look to some Buddhist teachings about death as we also raise the names and stories of some who have died. Oct. 25: Music Sunday Jaie Tiefenbrunn, Director of Music Ministries This is What Democracy Looks Like! Join us for a morning of celebration and introspection as Social Justice and Music Ministries team up to share songs to inspire us as we inch closer to Election Day. Nov. 1: All Souls Rev. Diane Dowgiert In the turning of the year, this is the time when the veil between the worlds is thin, when we make space in our hearts and minds to connect with the dearly departed. In the spirit of memory and hope, we’ll gather to honor and keep faith with all the souls who have gone before, naming and remembering members of FUUN who have died in the past year. Nov. 8: Keeping the Faith Rev. Diane Dowgiert The roots of our Unitarian Universalist faith run deep throughout history, roots that have held strong through times of struggle and adversity. Within this history we can find wisdom as we strive to keep this faith—a faith rooted in the democratic spirit—burning bright—now and for generations to come. 1 Newsletter for Oct./Nov. 2020 FirstUUNash.org vol. 70, no. 3 2 Nov. 15 To Be Announced Nov. 22: Gratitude Sunday Rev. Diane Dowgiert Gratitude is a spiritual practice. A daily practice of pausing to give thanks is associated with improved health and increased happiness. When gratitude is shared in community, its effects are multiplied and amplified. Let us gather in thanksgiving. Nov. 29 To be Announced From the Minister’s Study “Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” -John Lennon Shortly after the Democratic National Convention, a photo went around on social media. It was of the guy who produced the whole thing from his living room. Not only was he obviously a technical wiz, the amount of equipment surrounding him was astounding—multiple large screen monitors, fancy soundboards, laptops, and keyboards. What couldn’t be seen was all the soft- ware running on all those devices. And, my guess is that guy didn’t get a wink of sleep the whole convention. Dollar signs went flashing before my eyes, along with another image in my head. I saw your amazing, hard- working staff, some in their homes, and some in their offices in the administrative building at the church, huddled over laptops and monitors—some old and some new—learning new software, filming, recording, and editing vid- eos, then stitching it all together with live presenters into something resembling worship— every Sunday morn- ing since mid-March—work that far exceeds what any of them were hired to do back in the pre-pandemic days. Their efforts have been nothing short of heroic. Last March, when the reality of COVID-19 hit our communities, congregations everywhere scrambled to find ways of making worship happen online. At the time, we thought, or hoped, it was temporary—a few weeks until we got to the other side of, or at least had a firm hand on this pandemic. We now know we are nowhere near the other side of this thing. Here at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashville, you had the added complication of a ministerial transition. Your minister of 15 years retired and you hired a Developmental Minister—me—to serve as Lead Minister to help with the transition and to work with you on some major goals. If we were gathering in person, I would give every one of you a big hug and a pat on the back. You’ve been dealing with a whole lot, y’all! The plans that were intended to be temporary are not sustainable for the long haul. I am working with your staff to simplify the process of putting together online worship services every Sunday. It will involve some experimen- tation. Given that we are all religious professionals, not TV producers, it might get glitchy along the way until we get it right. I have already come to know that you are a kind, caring people—generous with patience and forbearance when things don’t go as planned. I am so eager for the day when we can all meet in person. Yours in shared ministry, Rev. Diane Dowgiert [email protected] 2 (Continued on page 2) Newsletter for Oct./Nov. 2020 FirstUUNash.org vol. 70, no. 3 3 From the Assistant Minister Assistant Minister’s Musings Happy fall, dear ones! It’s time for resetting and making plans for the coming months, and what I'm most yearning for is the creation of new ways for us to make and sustain connections. Usually this time of year I’m busy meeting newcomers and getting ready to welcome new members of the congregation and help them find their ways around church and meet each other and all of us. And this year is, well, different. (You know this already!) We will not have a new member class (because no one wants to be on Zoom for four straight hours!) or a celebration of new mem- bers during worship this fall. (It makes me sad, too.) However, we have had visitors during these pandemic months, and some of them tell me they are interested in membership, so I am working on re-designing our mem- bership process and creating new ways of celebrating our growth as a congregation. Whether you are a member, a prospective member, or just a curious visitor to our congregation, there are several ways you can collaborate with me in strengthening connections within the congregation. Newcomers, visitors, prospective members: Be in touch with me (Email below) so I can make sure you hear about upcoming programming: church-wide social gatherings, classes, opportunities to learn about (Continued on page 3) the congregation and Unitarian Universalism, and a brand-new “path to membership” (if you’re so inclined—we are delighted you’re here, whether or not you decide to make it official.) Let me know if you’d like to schedule a phone call or Zoom meeting, especially if you have questions about Unitar- ian Universalism or our congregation. I love getting to know you, but it takes a little extra effort these days, while Sunday mornings are so thoroughly online. Everyone: I am building teams of volunteers for specific tasks that can support us all in getting and staying con- nected from a distance. (Time commitments are flexible, and training/coaching will be provided.) Please let me know if any of the following look interesting to you: Providing Sunday morning hospitality by paying attention to the chat in our live worship at 9 a.m. or the com- ments during the Facebook Live at 11 a.m. and adding welcoming responses. Watching Facebook and/or YouTube throughout the week and interacting with comments, helping to foster the open, inclusive welcome we strive to extend to all comers in all seasons, and helping newcomers connect with the congregation and with me. Providing basic, one-on-one tech instruction/problem-solving to folks who need a little extra support to be con- nected online—perhaps walking them through how to connect to worship services, social hour, classes, or meetings, or helping them figure out how to use their devices to do new things like submitting pictures for Water Communion or participating in choir and distance singing projects. Old-fashioned phone calls: Some of us still prefer low-tech communications or don’t have access to high-tech tools. (Remember, you can use your cellphone to make phone calls.) I hope your fall season is cozy and comforting and full of new projects and new learning. I look forward to seeing you around cyberspace and hearing all about it. In faith and hope, Rev. Denise Gyauch Assistant Minister of Congregational Engagement [email protected] 3 Newsletter for Oct./Nov. 2020 FirstUUNash.org vol. 70, no. 3 4 From the Director of Music Ministries Music Notes Making music has been different in the past few months… The beautiful thing about this for me as your Director is that I have gotten to hear each of our singer’s individual voices.

  • Chicago Voter League of Women Voters of Chicago, 332 S Michigan, Suite 634 August 2017 Website - Vol
    The Chicago Voter League of Women Voters of Chicago, 332 S Michigan, Suite 634 August 2017 Website - www.LWVChicago.org Vol. 68 No. 2 President’s Message Dear Members, We just completed our board planning meeting for 2017-2018, and we have a lot of great ideas. We’re looking forward to a year with more units in more neighborhoods, a great schedule for Chicago in Focus and monthly briefings, and a task force working on the March 2018 primary election. See the schedules for Briefings and Chicago in Focus on pages 2 and 3 in this Chicago Voter. It’s all very exciting – and a lot of hard work, a little intimidating some days. Still, we’re up for that! One of the interesting aspects of being part of such an established organization is how the mode of the League changes from time to time. Sometimes, our role is to study. Other times, it is to take action. No matter what, we stick to our basic principles: we are non-partisan, we influence public policy through both education and advocacy, and we encourage active and informed citizen participation in government. The tactics may change, but the mission remains the same. And that brings me to one important note: things may change! Last summer, the board put together a great plan that was upended by the results of the 2016 presidential election. We now have many new and enthusiastic members, added programs in Chicago in Focus to look specifically at the election, and looked for new ways to make our voice heard.

  • Sermon Third Unitarian Church of Chicago November 26, 2006
    SERMON THIRD UNITARIAN CHURCH OF CHICAGO NOVEMBER 26, 2006 TOM BAMONTE PRESENTER (EXCERPTS) OPENING WORDS Our opening words are from well-known kayaker Chris Duff: The sea, like any expanse of nature, is a great teacher of humility. It strips away the nonessentials: the ego, the place in society we fill, and the clutter of busy lives. Wind, waves, cold water and the exposure of miles of endless cliff can bare the soul as any desert experience might. All the insecurities of society—the stress of success or fear of failure—suddenly seem inconsequential. What is left is the stripped-down reality of purposeful, passionate living in an environment that tolerates nothing less. It is a great and continual cleansing, at first shockingly cold; but like the initial plunge into a mountain stream, it refreshes and wakes the body and mind to new life. RESPONSIVE READING This we know. The earth does not belong to us, we belong to the earth This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family All things are connected Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth We did not weave the web of life; We are merely a strand in it Whatever we do to the web, We do to ourselves SPOKEN AND SILENT MEDITATION Please take out your pebbles, which I brought back from Lake Superior to share with you. Roll the pebble around in your hands. Feel its shape and imperfections. Gaze at its colors and patterns. The rock you hold may be a billion years old.

  • 1 2007-10-7 Indigenous Liberals Opening Words We Are Here Under
    2007-10-7 Indigenous Liberals Opening Words We are here under this high and golden ceiling, embraced by windows proclaiming morning, our feet on a carpet as colorful as October, to worship, to look both into the world and into our own gathered and open hearts with the wonder and the fearless fidelity which might strengthen our lives. So we say: Mindful that a growing vision of a just world calls us together, that a community of commitment, courage and care sustains us, and that a life transformed by depth of spirit may illumine our way, we have kindled this light as the sign of our circle of life and love. Sequence A walk down Le Boulevard Des Capuchines in Paris, France, past that trendy pastry shop. A walk down a muddy path next to the Alima River in the Congo near Okoyo, past that spectacular Ana Tree. A meal of salted cabbage and beef in that little Korean Restaurant right near La Plaza des Armas in Santiago de Chile. A meal of fermented mare’s milk in the settlement of yurts near the beautiful Lake Uvs in Northwest Mongolia. The sighting of a hawk above the red sands at the edge of the Tanami Desert in Australia’s Northern Territory. The sighting of a hawk above the dark chimneys of St. Philippe de Neri in Quebec, nestled above the St. Lawrence River. The sound of a recorded call to prayer from a Minaret towering above the Arab Quarter in Al Quds, or Jerusalem. The sound of a favorite recorded song by Fred Astaire which later today will be played at the Memorial Service of man who was a beloved member of the Third Unitarian Church in Chicago, Illinois.
