November 4 – Terry Goode A Philosophical Look at the Seven Principles The seven UU principles are the foundaon of modern Unitarian Universalism. The principles express important values. But, what is their history and how can philosophy help us understand their importance? Today’s message will look at a categorizaon of the principles from a philosophical perspecve and at two important theories of 17 th and 18 th century philosophy that support modern Unitarian Universalism. Dr. Terry Goode is a long-me friend of the Fellowship. He has served on the Program Commiee, the Communicaons Commiee and is currently a member of the Finance Commiee.

He and his wife Pam are frequent travelers, and passionate supporters of Good Samaritan- Scandia Village. Music: Gerri Friedberg Service Leader: Susan Leeder November 11 – Denise Cawley Radical Sanctuary Looking at how the Unitarian Universalist women ministers of the Prophec Sisterhood made their ways into ministry, and made their congregaons places of sanctuary over 100 years ago, we too can use the spirit of that example to make our congregaons today places of radical welcome and sanctuary. The ways we go about doing that are different, as 2018 is a different me than the one that the Sisterhood operated in but yet the spirit of what they did sll applies today. Denise Cawley is part-me intern minister for at Bradford Community Church Unitarian Universalist in Kenosha, WI. She is a Unitarian Universalist seminarian at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago. She provides spiritual and emoonal care in her chaplaincy role at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, where she has volunteers at one of the two locaons in the state of Wisconsin that perform in- clinic aborons.

Music: Beth Coleman Service Leader: Carrie Link November 18 – Alan Kopischke Religion Trigger Words for UUs Do words like faith, worship, pray, church, God, Lord, and other religion-related words make you uncomfortable? Alan will explore the disconnects between how some people use these words and how some people hear these words (and in some cases the origins of these words). Before our “Moment of Quiet” we are oſten encouraged to embrace our concerns and set them aside in order to enter more fully into the moment. Perhaps by embracing these words with an exploraon of their intended and unintended connotaons, we can begin to accept them and set them aside, allowing us to go about our business less distracted by our trigger words. Alan Kopischke is a university professor, arts consultant, and professional actor. He teaches acng and directs at UW-Green Bay and developed and produced The Big Read Door County (now Door County Reads). He has acted with the Peninsula Players, Third Avenue Playhouse, Steppenwolf, Milwaukee Rep and regional theatres across the country and has appeared in feature films and on prime-me network television.

… through the world feels like your feet are stuck in the mud. On any network newscast there will be at least 5 things that will make you angry, or sad, or hopeless. Turning off the news doesn't help, as long as you know the stories are there. In his sermon, Thom will talk about getting yourself unstuck.

After many years running training programs in the corporate world, Thom Thomas has decided to put his training and experience to work in a different arena, and is currently a Master’s of Divinity student at Meadville Lombard Theological School. For the past 8 years, Thom has also served as a consultant to the UUA, focused on helping congregations find their vision and live it into reality. In that capacity, he has created training for individual UU congregations, helping them deal with conflict, develop visions for the future and guide stewardship efforts. Thom’s ministry is focused on helping Unitarian Universalist congregations live their values into the world.

Our Community

A Bit of UU History by Helene Di Iulio & Lynn Lees Lynn Lees President’s letter published in the January 1998 UU Up-date announced that the State Highway Department had allowed UUFDC to “adopt” two miles of Highway 42 to clean a minimum of three times a year between April and October. In March of ’98 the signs were erected with former member Don Crull as coordinator. The first cleanup was on a beautiful April day of that year. Eight volunteers met at Di Iulio’s to don safety vests and get bags to fill. Don brought donuts for the volunteers and Ray and Helene hosted a hot dog cookout after the work was finished.

Meeting places have changed and new volunteers have come for-ward and replaced most of the original group but UU’s have stepped up to the chore 140 times since 1998!

Thank you to our fall 2018 clean-up crew: Jim Black, Ken Boyd, Rich Dirks, Peggy Lott, Sara McKillop, Bruce Nelson, and Dave Vermillion.

We Welcome ALL Update 2018 by Paula Christensen, Social Justice Committee Co-Chair & We Wel-come ALL Coordinator We Welcome ALL (WWA) is a social justice initiative the Racial Jus-

tice Action Team started in 2017. WWA fosters a wel-coming community for all people who live, work, and visit in Door County. We want to highlight some of the major aspects of this initiative and give you an update on their progression in 2018.

We Welcome ALL involves inviting retail businesses to support the values that every person has worth as an individual and is entitled to dignity and respect … regardless of race, immigration status, ref-ugee status, religion, sexual orientation, ability, age, or gender iden-tity/expression. Personal contact is made with business owners asking them to review the brochure and consider posting the WWA window cling on their door or window. Most business owners are

eager to participate as they say this initiative reflects their values and the cling reminds them of how they want to treat their custom-ers. Currently, we have 35 businesses participating in northern Door County!

Late this summer, we asked other faith communities and nonprofits to co-sponsor We Welcome ALL. This allows us to broaden the in-volvement of others and expand the initiative throughout Door County. We now have 5 co-sponsors: Ephraim Moravian, St. Luke’s Episcopal, HOPE UCC, JUST Door County, and PFLAG, along with UUFDC. By agreeing to co-sponsor, these organizations commit to engage in programming that enhances welcoming and inclusion … which includes sermons, book discussions, workshops, films, and deep conversations. The co-sponsors also support the initiative fi-nancially and in their communities.

We have a new display about We Welcome ALL in the UUFDC gath-ering room. Please stop by and explore the exhibit. The names of business participants are on the poster … be sure to thank them for participating in WWA!

How can you support and be involved with We Welcome ALL? Take a brochure and become familiar with the program. Suggest busi-nesses you think may be interested in participating. We have 3x5 cards on the table in the gathering room for this purpose. Purchase your own We Welcome ALL window cling to post on your home or car window … and purchase window clings for gifts to friends and family! Clings are available for $3 each at the display table.

Thanks for your enthusiasm about this important initiative. We are excited to move forward and expand throughout Door County over the next years to ensure a welcoming environment for all people who live, work, and visit our special peninsula.

Support Northern Door Children’s Center on November 18 by Jane Wise & Karen Corekin DaLaMer

Serving both business owners and employees of our local communi-ty, Northern Door Children’s Center (NDCC) is the only high-quality early care and education center within a 30-mile radius which pro-vides a comprehensive educational program for children aged six weeks to five years. In addition, NDCC offers an afterschool pro-gram and a school-aged summer day camp experience. It is licensed for 112 children.

Continued on the next page...

In order to make the educational experience affordable for families, NDCC fundraises fully one-quarter of the cost of the $600,000 oper-ating budget of the Center each year. This translates to a 25% dis-count for every family.

Approximately 30% of students are recipients of the NDCC scholar-ships offered through fundraising, and an additional 10-20 families take advantage of “Wisconsin Shares”, a state funded program that offers assistance directly to families who meet specific financial guidelines to help pay for childcare. The Children’s Center does not receive any direct state or federal funding.

NDCC offers an early education experience to approximately 80% of the children entering Gibraltar Area Schools kindergarten each year. NDCC works diligently to assure that every four-year old in the Northern Door community is offered the opportunity to participate in the 4K (pre-school) program two mornings per week, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. They also have a 3K program to help chil-dren gain important developmental skills.

All students, regardless of age, are exposed to and eventually taught NDCC’s Five Core Values. Developed together by the teaching and administrative staff, the Five Core Values are: Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Kind, Be a Learner, and Be Part of the Community. Each Core Val-ue has components that relate to the classroom space, to the play-ground space, to shared indoor space, and to how we behave when we are in the larger community or have visitors to our Center.

Located in Sister Bay, NDCC operates year round, Monday-Friday from 7:30 am-5:30 pm. Community members are welcome and en-couraged to stop by the Center and take a tour.

Economic Justice Update by Jim Black The Economic Justice Action Team has been advancing the formation of the Wisconsin Unitarian Universalist State Action Network, pre-senting educational events on campaign finance reform and put on a workshop, Focus on Fairness, which addressed income and wealth inequality. At the writing of this newsletter only the first of three session of the Focus on Fairness workshop have occurred. By publi-cation all three sessions will have occurred.

On Tuesday, October 16th, Professor Dylan Fitz gave an economist view of economic and wealth inequality before over sixty attendees at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor. Professor Fitz’s presentation was informative and understandable. Through source referenced data he demonstrated that the gap in income and wealth inequality has grown substantially since the 1940s. He offered a range of solutions to economic inequality economists generally view a viable. The solu-tions covered the range from redistribution of wealth to increasing opportunities.

Chuck Collins spoke on October 24th. Chuck Collins is nationally known for pioneering work and speaking publically against corporate practices and economic policies that increase economic inequality. He is a senior scholar at the Institute for Public Studies in Washing-

ton D.C. and Boston, and directs the Program on Inequality and the Common Good. He has authored several books including Born on Third Base: A One Percenter Makes the Case for Tackling Inequality, coauthored with William H. Gates Sr. Wealth and Our Commonwealth: Why America Should Tax Accu-mulated Fortunes and several other books.

On October 12th, Jim Black and Dan Powers pre-sented a two-hour class on campaign finance reform through the Learning in Retirement program. The Wisconsin Unitarian Universalist State Action Net-work is officially a Wisconsin non-stock corporation, the next step to acquire 501(c) 3 status from the IRS.

A Long and Winding Road by Mark Richards I believe my path to ministry began on Sept 11, 2001. I could not get past the feeling that all we worked for in college to end the Vietnam War had been forgotten, and that this event will send us back into a generational war. With this on my mind, the Men’s Solo Retreat of 2003 began as very intentional for me. I followed a formula for quests that led me to a very explicit call to ministry. That following fall I entered seminary.

My time at Andover Newton Seminary was mixed. I was working full time and studying part time. My intention to study full time in my third year was derailed by the decision of the New England Subcom-mittee on Candidacy to deny me candidate status. Even though my process with the Ministerial Fellowship Committee was done, I fin-ished my degree.

Over the next few years, after struggling to define myself as a lay community minister, I discovered that I needed some structure if this was going to be meaningful in any way. In 2015, I was accepted into the chaplain residency program at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, MO. At the same time I applied for reinstatement with the Ministeri-al Fellowship Committee. With the sponsorship of First Parish in Concord, my application was granted and I was on my way to prelim-inary fellowship. The time I spent in Kansas City, with the help of members of both All Souls UU Church and Shawnee Mission UU Church, was fruitful in preparing me for my MFC interview. In De-cember 2017, I met with the Committee and was granted conditional preliminary fellowship. I met the conditions and in April 2018 I was welcomed into fellowship.

Throughout this journey, I have found supportive companions. The support of the UUFDC will be most cherished as I move into the min-

istry I have been called to here in Wisconsin. I am most blessed and humbled by the love I receive from you in this place.

Peacefully and in faith, Mark Richards

Congratulations Mark! On December 2nd, at the 11 am after-service coffee hour, we will hold a reception honoring Mark’s achievement. All are welcome to celebrate!

Harvesting Gratitude by Trish Black, Caring Committee Chair We are well into the season of harvesting. Corn is being shelled, apples are being picked, and the last of the garden produce is being preserved. The quietness of our beloved community is returning as the season has ended. As we slide into the season of autumn, we may want to pause and remind ourselves to harvest gratitude —there is MUCH to be grateful for. Research shows time and time again that there are many benefits to living a life of gratitude. Psy-chologists at UCLA have scientifically proven that one of the leading factors to overall happiness is how much gratitude you show. Addi-tionally, making gratitude part of your daily practice has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce physical aches and pains, minimize feelings of loneliness, reduce inflammation as well as the presence of the stress hormone cortisol and increase one’s general sense of calm. As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving at the end of this month let’s embrace the 30 Day Gratitude Challenge and practice gratitude daily. Below is a list of simple practices to help us incorpo-rate more gratitude in our daily lives.:

~Keep a gratitude journal and write down 3 things each day that you are grateful for.

~Write a thank you note

~Bake a treat for someone

~Pay for the coffee for the person in line in back of you

~Have a complaint free day

~Buy flowers for yourself or a friend

~Write down your best strengths

~Donate money or time to a charity of your choice

~Compliment those you encounter

~Journal about a recent accomplishment you are proud of

~Sit in awe of all the beauty that surrounds us.

~SAVOR each and every positive moment

UU Book Club by Karon Winzenz On Wednesday, Nov. 7, at 12:00 pm, Lynn Mercurio will host a discussion of The Witch of Lime Street: Séance, Seduction, and Houdini in the Spirit World by David Jaher. The review at http://www.historynet.com/reviews-3.htm begins: “Nearly 100 years ago, America was gripped by occult fever. The vast death toll from the Great War had sparked a mainstream spirit-ualism craze. A raft of psychics and spirit mediums popped up to offer their peculiar form of comfort to the bereaved.... Clairvoyants claimed they could communicate with the deceased through séances, Ouija boards and automatic writing. Emi-nent men debated the idea of immortality, some giving credence to flimflammers.”

Cynthia Johnson will be our hostess on December 5th as we discuss the Language of Kindness: A Nurse’s Story by Christie Watson. The

New Yorker says: “With grit and wisdom, this memoir of life as a nurse encompasses birth, death, and the unpredictable workings of minds and bodies in between. . .. Watson, who worked in British hos-pitals for twenty years before be-coming a novelist, recounts the crises, triumphs, and uncertainties inherent in nursing others. See a great review at https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/the-language-of-kindness-a-nurse-s-story-review-brilliant-and-life-changing-1.3475499

Both hostesses will contact mem-bers regarding attendance and location.

Dickinson Poetry Series Features Rolf Olson Rolf Olson is the featured poet in the UU Fellowship’s Dickinson Po-etry Series on Wednesday, November 14th, at 7:00 pm.

Rolf Olson has called Door County home since 1980. He has been a craftsman in wood and metal for 29 years, working as a boat builder and joiner, designing and building doors, cabinets, furniture and functional objects in wood and metal.

Olson began writing poetry seriously about 19 years ago. He writes about a wide variety of subjects and describes his poems as “bold, thought pro-voking, and entertain-ing.” Others have de-scribed Olson’s po-ems as “spare, fun, intense, and Zen-like”. He is pleased to have been a member of the “Unabridged Poets” group. Olson’s first chapbook, “One Glass Eye,” was published in 2003, and his next book, “Riot at the Poets’ Café” was published in 2013.

MOVIES THAT MATTER partners with DC Civility Project Screening: (Dis)Honesty: Truth About Lies, Tuesday, November 20, 4:30 pm by Cynthia DaLaMer “It’s not about being bad. It’s about being human.” - Dan Ariely, Professor of Psychology and Behavior Economics at Duke University

The documentary film, (Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies, directed by Yael Melamede, looks at the deep-down reasons why humans lie.

Building upon the work of social scientist Dan Ariely, the film com-bines the use of personal stories, expert opinions, and behavioral experiments to uncover the reasons why people are dishonest.

Participants shown in the film share their own stories about lies that they’ve told in the past. Some of these lies are downright awful and destructive, while some of these recalled like are harmless “white lies”. (2015, 90 minutes)

A group discussion will be held after the viewing of this film.
