SOCIAL JUSTICE SOCIAL HOUR REMINDER
Join us in Fessenden Hall during second service each week for informal discussions about how we as churches, communities and social entities deal with issues of common justice and the common good.
These are free-wheeling explorations of ideas about both substance and process. We aren’t limited to certain topics, nor excused from controversial ones. We tackle timely and difficult issues – poverty, fracking, drone killings, campaign practices, WikiLeaks, abortion, gun control, sexual abuse, nuclear energy & weapons, immigration and anything else.
My hope is that these discussions may help us get to know one another and our priorities, generate conviviality and solidarity within the church, and create a little more focus and direction on the moral, political, economic and environmental parameters of the issues of justice and injustice we face as a church, and as citizens of a world community.

Are you interested in food? With so many different claims about what food is good (for you, for the planet, for farmers, etc), it can be hard to know what to eat. Here is a chance to investigate and discuss food sustainability issues! This 6 week course, beginning Feb. 12, called “Menu For the Future” is part of a regional pilot effort through Sustainable Cleveland 2019: Year of Food. All are welcome to participate by contacting Andrew Rome. The sessions last from 11am-12:15pm at the Kent UU Annex. Childcare is available.

A new Pagan group will be starting up this March, lead by K.C. Pallone. She is a Pagan Priestess and would like to begin a new CUUPS group here at the UU Church of Kent.

Look for information sheets during the next few weeks in Founders Lounge.
Hi Friends!
I am sending a shout out request for seeds for this years garden and the accompanying greenhouse I hope to build here in Mongolia. The produce from these ventures will be used for feeding the kids residing in the dorm (92 at last count this year), giving them more veggies and vitamins! (I of course also love fresh veggies and have my own tomatoes and salad fixings growing in my apartment windows year round!)
Last year the garden was not highly successful, though many students and dorm workers were involved in helping to water and tend to it! It was a learning experience for us all and made me aware of the need for a greenhouse to cultivate warm weather crops to harvest!
Seeds are difficult to come by here and are limited. Therefore, I am requesting a helping hand from you back at home. Seed packets can be mailed in envelopes, making them relatively inexpensive to send out.
Any flower and veggie seeds would be much appreciated, even those saved from your own gardening would be awesome!
There are some particular seeds I’d love to have, and I’ve listed them below:
foxglove, lavender, forget me nots, cosmos, wildflowers, asters, zinnas
Veggies: onions, squash (every variety), beets, carrots, cucumbers, beans, eggplant, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, turnip
please send to:

That will get you a ballot and the opportunity to sample as many chilies as you want. There will also be chips and sauces available as well as drinks.

Budget Submissions for the next Fiscal Year – The deadline to submit your budget requests for FY2013 is quickly approaching. Please see below.
TO: All committee chairs, program directors, staff members, and others with budgetary authority.
FROM: Gene Wenninger, chairperson, Finance Committee
SUBJECT: Budget submissions for next Fiscal Year. Please submit to MaryBeth, Church Administrator by paper or email, [email protected] before February 1.
The Finance Committee is beginning work on developing the Church budget for Fiscal Year 2013, which begins on July 1 of 2012. We need your input as we begin this process. As you know, our fiscal aspirations have exceeded our fiscal resources the past few years. We expect this to hold true this next year. Therefore, based upon your experience or that of your predecessor we ask for your best estimates as follows:
- Dollars needed to meet the minimum (bare-bones) needs of your committee, program or office.
- Dollars needed to sustain the work of, or charge to, your committee, program or office at a level between bare-bones and optimal.
- You might also list below a project, program, or function with a dollar estimate that might be considered for possible separate fund-raising if the opportunity arises next year.
COMMENTS:
If a figure is not submitted, the Committee will work from the current year’s budget and expenditure records. Thanks for your cooperation with this very important request.
January 22, 2012 Sunday Services: The Forest and the Trees
Led by: Rev. Melissa Carvill-Ziemer and Worship Associate Kathy Kerns
When a person is so tangled up with details that they can’t see the big picture, people often say that person can’t see the forest for the trees. On this morning our services will playfully consider what it takes to see clearly.
Training For New Website
Our new website runs a powerful but simple technology called “WordPress” designed to empower leaders of the church to easily update the website themselves. It is about as easy to use as email and includes the ability for each committee to have their own “blog” within the site. This Sunday Dan Flippo from the web team will provide training on how to post and update information on the website after second service in the Annex. All board and committee leaders are invited to attend. We are hoping to train as many people as possible over the next month so that our website can serve as a key communication tool for the congregation. We have identified a number of people to maintain different pages on the website and will begin sending out usernames and passwords shortly via email.
The web team will be offering additional dates and times for the training. However, if you are unable to attend or if you would like to learn more about WordPress, you can also visit the WordPress Online Tutorial. This tutorial is also includes details on how someone can create their own blog using WordPress but most of the information also applies to our site.
Please contact Dan Flippo at [email protected] or Jen May if you have any questions about the website or the training.
SOCIAL JUSTICE SOCIAL HOUR, Take 2
Amid the recent seasonal festivities the Social Justice Social Hour I proposed to take place during second service got OBE. No, not an Out-of-Body-Experience , or even the Order of the British Empire (though we can always hope) but an old military term “Overtaken By Events.”
I’d like to try again, beginning 11:15 this Sunday January 15, in Fessenden Hall.
These will be informal friendly discussions – no programmed topics, agendas or speakers — about how we as churches, communities and social entities deal with issues of common justice and the common good.
I plan to facilitate – not lead – explorations of ideas of both substance and process. We won’t be limited to certain topics, nor excused from controversial ones. We will tackle timely and difficult issues – drone killings, campaign practices, WikiLeaks, abortion, gun control, sexual abuse, nuclear energy & weapons, predatory capitalism.
My hope is that these discussions may help us get to know one another and our priorities, generate conviviality and solidarity within the church, and create a little more focus and direction on the moral, political, economic and environmental parameters of the justice and injustice we face as a church and as citizens of a world community.

Coffee Hour Challenge and Opportunity
Marion Yeagler has done a wonderful job coordinating coffee hour for the past couple of years. In addition to her coordination role, Marion has also been setting up for coffee hour on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of the month. Thanks to her generosity of spirit and hard work, we have been able to offer a warm and lively social hour as part of our Sunday morning hospitality. However, Marion has decided the time has come for her to step down from her coffee hour coordination position effective the first of February.
Appeals have been made for someone to volunteer to make coffee on the Sundays Marion covers as well as to assume the coffee hour coordination role. Unless we have some additional volunteers, we will not be able to have coffee hour on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of each month. Ann Waters sets up on the 1st Sunday, and Dan Hayes on the 3rd Sunday of each month, for which we are grateful. If you are interested in the possibility of taking one Sunday a month (or even every other month) and want to know more about what it entails, you are welcome to talk to Ann or Dan. We welcome individuals, families or even small groups to volunteer to serve in this way together.
If you think you might be interested in taking on the role of coffee hour coordinator, please speak with Trustee for Fellowship Julie Lineburgh or the Rev. Melissa Carvill-Ziemer. We’d be glad to help you consider if this might be a good way for you to serve our beloved community. In addition, Marion has offered to train the new coordinator; this would not be reinventing the wheel!
The coffee hour cleanup schedule has been made through May. Will you be the person to help us make sure there is something for them to clean up?
Big Changes in Our Nursery Promote Comfort and Safety
Due to our recent baby boom, we now need more space for the nursery. The Library Committee has graciously allowed us to expand into their former space (the library is now housed in Founders’ Lounge). This will help us eliminate the crowded conditions and allow us to better care for our littlest Unitarian Universalists. Please stop in before or after the services to admire the spaciousness!
