Follow Your Arrow
Reverend Scott McNeill
There is something powerful about a compass being able to always direct us North - whether literally or metaphorically. And yet despite knowing which way is True North, sometimes we take a different path. Join us as we wrestle with how to balance our individual needs and identities, wants and desires with the needs of others, our deepest needs (of which we are not always aware), and how to navigate life's many paths.

Unitarian Universalist Radical Justice Making and Healing in these Uncertain Times
Reverend Chris Long
     "Dear Ones, I am delighted to be joining you again, and meeting some of you for the first time, during my  October 13th, 14th visit.  Let's explore what it might mean as Unitarian Universalists to 'heal even as we ache.' With the current social, environmental, cultural and political times we are in, does Unitarian Universalism provide a sacred space, theology and other essential tools necessary for times such as these?  What might it mean to be radical social/racial justice makers, even as we heal from all that is going on?  Hope to see you there... --Chris"
     Rev Chris Long is currently the Justice Minister at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church in Rocky River, Ohio.  He is also in his third year on the faculty at Starr King School for the Ministry, as the Visiting Assistant Professor for the Practice of Ministry.  When he is not focusing to embody his life's Calling, he enjoys time with treasured friends, theater, cinema, anything Alvin Ailey American Dance Company related, laughter and beauty.  He looks forward to being with us the weekend of October 13th & 14th, 2018.  
MAM's Musings

Monarchs!---The Ones with Wings

Holy Moly! Have you seen all the monarchs flying around the Monarch Way-Station on our church grounds? It's amazing. Thanks to ALL who picked up seeds for future monarch milkweed sanctuaries this past Sunday in honor of my 20th Ordination Anniversary. Special thanks to Sean Breeden-Ost for providing the milkweed seeds for this occasion.

Gratitude to Infinity and Beyond!
What heartfelt and lovely Sunday worship services on September 30th. Abiding gratitude to everyone who made our ministerial celebration one of spirited healing and love. In these tumultuous times, it is so important to set aside space to reclaim the joy that resides, steadfast, in our minds, bodies and spirits. It was wonderful to fully bring the ever-patient Reverend Forrest Gilmore aboard as our congregation's Community Minister. He loves his new purple stole! Jean Knowlton rocks. And I so enjoyed celebrating the 20th Anniversary of my Ordination. Good Gravy Marie--was it really 20 years ago? Thanks to the organizers, food preparers, music performers, worship attendees, (including live-streamers aka life's dreamers), tech folks, and all those wonderful ministers who have guided this congregation along the way. Special thanks to Kim Carballo for Not playing all the "Mary Ann" music  she knows. 

Outstanding Community Agency Award!
We were recently informed that tomorrow evening, October 3rd, our congregation will receive the Outstanding Community Agency Award from the City of Bloomington's Commission on Hispanic and Latino Affairs. Reverend Scott McNeill, Refugee and Immigration Task Force Chair Debbie Fish, and I will accept the award on behalf of the congregation at the Monroe County Library Auditorium. We will also make use of this blessing to create deeper connections with the Latinx community. "Love prepare me to be a sanctuary."

October 28th Workshops---Dying: To Know
After our annual "Remembering our Ancestors: Day of the Dead" worship service on October 28th, our End-of-Life Task Force will host a number of workshops for public attendance under the theme of "Dying: To Know." Presentations will begin at 1:00 p.m. and will include: Preparing Your Advanced Directives, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Medical Issues at End of Life, Your Journey of Grief, Care for Body after Death, and more. Our youth will host a special showing of the movie Coco----a Pixar film wherein aspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family's ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer. 
Stay tuned for more details.

Reduce Consumption: Care for the Earth
Oh, and on October 27th, the Green Sanctuary Clothing Swap (a tangible reminder to reduce our consumption) will take place here Saturday morning.

Peace and Love, MAM 
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin, Senior Minister              

PS  Was just reminded of an adage from my law days. I believe it points to the framework of a legal system within a patriarchal culture, "If you don't have the facts, pound the law. If you don't have the law, pound the facts. If you don't have either, pound the table."

PPS  Deep breath, for justice and healing.
Pastoral Care from Your Ministers
The fall is always a good time to offer a reminder that the ministers are available for pastoral care. When people face significant health changes, transitions in life, and/or spiritual questions - it can be helpful to have someone with whom to talk and process. Please contact us if you want to setup an appointment.
 
Our Vision for Social Justice
On Saturday, October 13, leaders from the various social justice task forces will meet with the Reverend Chris Long to begin some work on imagining and articulating our vision for social justice. If you're interested in learning more or attending (10 a.m. - 12 noon, at the church), please let me know ( [email protected]). As the year progresses, we'll have different opportunities for members and friends of the congregation to add their views!

In faith,
   Scott
Reverend Scott McNeill, Associate Minister
Update from Religious Education 
for Children & Youth
     One of the highlights last month for our kids in Curiosity Club was visiting University Lake and the research center and pavilion named for our Dan Willard, a late member of our congregation.  The kids welcomed the opportunity to be "mindful in the moment" and share about their favorite ways to be out in nature and covenant with nature.  Morgan Scherer, the assistant property manager, was very helpful and answered lots of questions; he might see your kiddo again when he visits MCCSC schools this year.   
     If your family would like to explore the research area and teaching preserve more on your own, they have interpretive hikes at  at  10am on Sundays.  If you or a group you are associated with would like to know more about these hikes or possibly setting up a hike at a different time, you can  email   [email protected]   If you're interested in volunteering, they have service days on Fridays and Saturdays from  10am-2pm. The fall dates are  Oct. 12thOct. 13thOct. 19thOct. 26thOct. 27thNov. 2ndNov. 3rdNov. 9th, and  Nov. 10th
     This time of year is ripe with opportunities to observe our ever changing natural world, so find a spot to sit and soak up the sun and share with one another.  How do you personally covenant with the Earth?  Do you feel connected to our violet UU promise: Value the Earth which we share with all living things? What are you doing to help bring healing into our natural world?
--Adrienne Summerlot, Director of Religious Education, [email protected]
A Celebration of Ministry
 
Sunday, September 30, 2018, the UUCB worship services were a glorious celebration of ministry--ministry from the pulpit and from the congregation. In 1998, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington ordained into ministry the Reverend Mary Ann Macklin. To mark this 20th anniversary of her ordination, the service included recognition of the past, present and future of ministry at UUCB.
 
We welcomed into our pulpit ministers Dennis McCarty, Bill Breeden, Barbara Child, Forrest Gilmore and Doug Wadkins for their words of meditation on ministry. Rev. McNeill and Rev. Macklin each spoke of how ministry in the Unitarian Universalist tradition is the work of all of us and challenged us to recognize how we minister to each other. Special recognition was also given to Rev. Forrest Gilmore during an installation ceremony led by Rev. Macklin, Rev. McNeill, Rev. Leite and Rev. Swaney, marking his role as the UUCB Community Minister in Bloomington.
 
To round out this special recognition service, UUCB Board of Directors, with great sincerity and a bit of levity, formally proclaimed September 30, 2018, as Mary Ann Macklin Day!
 
Stuart D. Yoak, Vice President, UUCB Board of Directors

Harv Hegarty Supports a Liberal Religious Future Through Planned Giving
     I love UUCB. It is a spiritual home for me. The Chalice Circles I have been in have expanded the number of people I now call close friends. Social Justice is important to me. There are 13 social justice committees that serve those who can benefit from their support. Over decades UUCB members have devoted their lives to strengthening this ministry. I am a recipient of their commitment. I want to support this church so that those who follow me will find the warm community that I now enjoy.   --Harv Hegarty

Survey Results:  Your Story with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington 
Thank you to all who completed the "Your Story with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington" survey in July and August. 
Here are some of the results from that survey:
  • Many of us first started attending the church because we were looking for a community.
     
  • The Prologue and Friday Update are the ways that the majority of us learn about our church events and activities.
     
  • Most of us are extremely comfortable with telling non-UUs about Unitarian Universalism.
     
  • Friends at church are the most important way we connect to the UUCB community.
     
  • The majority of us are involved at church (outside of attending services) between 1 and 2 hours each week.
     
  • Time and scheduling are the largest barriers to connecting at church.
     
  • We feel that our Worship Services are the most important part of our church experience.

UU History for You
Elizabeth Blackwell, 
the First Woman to Obtain an M.D. in the USA
Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) was born in Bristol, England. Her father refined sugar from sugar cane but abandoned that business because he opposed slavery and virtually all sugar was from slave gathered sugar cane. He moved his family to New York and tried making sugar from sugar beets. He moved his family again to Cincinnati and cultivated sugar beets while being active in the abolitionist movement. His premature death left Elizabeth with limited opportunities. She taught in schools for girls and took an interest in women's health. She became a Unitarian and enjoyed the transcendentalist movement. She learned medicine from sympathetic Unitarian male doctors who taught her. Eventually she impressed the admissions committee at Geneva Medical College in New York, and got her MD in 1849. She went to Paris and London to gain more medical knowledge. While in Paris she lost an eye from a gonorrhea infection while treating an infant with that disease. She returned to New York to open a hospital for "indigent women and children." She remained active in the abolitionist movement and served in the Civil War. She left the United States in 1869 and became active with Florence Nightingale with the Red Cross movement and providing medical services for the poor. She died in 1910 in Hastings, England.
