"P. T. Barnum: The Legend & the Man"
The Rev. Dr. Carl Gregg
with the UUCF Choir
Invite a Friend
P.T. Barnum was the most influential American showman of the nineteenth century, remembered for promoting celebrated (and controversial) hoaxes and for founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus. He was also a prominent Universalist. If you know of a friend, family member, or colleague who may be interested in this topic, invite them to join you at UUCF on Sunday, October 7 for Rev. Carl's reflection on this fascinating part of the Universalist half of our UU heritage. You also won't want to miss special music from the film The Greatest Showman from the UUCF Choir!

Join Other UUs in Getting Out The Vote this Fall: Voter suppression campaigns aimed at people of color, youth, and naturalized citizens are undermining our communities and our democracy. One federal court put it plainly, writing that a North Carolina voting law was an unconstitutional effort to "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision." To combat these shameful attacks, Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice and the
All Souls Church Reeb Project for Voting Rights have teamed up on a series of events this fall to increase voter participation in states including Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Through partnerships with grassroots organizations, we'll be doing in-person canvassing and phone banking to build a sense of power and community. Visit the
Fall 2018 GOTV Calendar to get involved.

Community News
 Celebrate Indigenous People's Day, October 8:
Did you know at least four states do not celebrate Columbus Day (Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, and South Dakota) ?
South Dakota officially celebrates Native American Day instead. Some cities have replaced Columbus Day with
"Indigenous Peoples' Day." They use the holiday to provide concrete support to Native tribes and to remind folks that Columbus' so-called "discovery" of inhabited lands and subsequent European colonization of those areas had resulted in the
genocide of indigenous peoples by decisions of colonial and national governments. Learn more at
https://www.uua.org/multiculturalism/dod/indigenous-day
