CROP Walk is Sunday, November 6 at 1:45 pm at the
Art Park on the Sabine Promenade!
What are you doing on the 6th? Would you like a way to visit with friends, make new friends, enjoy the outdoors,
get exercise AND help change the world? Come walk with us in the CROP Hunger Walk to raise funds to fight hunger in
our community and around the world.
Our goal is 100 walkers raising $100 each. If we reach
our goal, we will support TWO SENIORS for ONE YEAR of Meals on Wheels, with the remainder going for UUSC international food programs.
This year, you can buy a t-shirt to show your support!
You don’t have to walk to buy a shirt!
Registration continues in the Gathering Place. Contact Barb Adams to join the team!
Crop Walk to End Hunger Join Team Emerson Sunday, November 6!
The Lay Pastoral Ministry Team exists because we need one another. Fifteen LPMT volunteers provide a ministry of presence to others in our beloved community. After extensive training in listening skills and offering support, Team members extend, without substituting for, the pastoral care services of our Co-
Ministers Becky and Mark. Our ministry of presence is usually requested during times of life transition, such as illness, death of a loved one, marriage, divorce or separation, birth, loss of employment, retirement, or confinement to a nursing home. Relationships between LPMT members and their friends are confidential and vary in time from a brief ministry of
one or two phone conversations to visits over several years. Members assist the Co-Ministers during the Christmas holidays by delivering poinsettias to
Emersonians with limited ability to travel.
The Lay Pastoral Ministry Team is responsible for the Joys, Sorrows, and Milestones candles and cards in the front of the Sanctuary. Life is full of change, full
of events that are sometimes joyful, sometimes sorrowful, and sometimes markers of major achievement. We care about you and enjoy sharing your life event in this way. Requests on the
completed cards are addressed in our hearts with prayer during a special candle ceremony at our monthly meetings, and further support may be provided by a Team member or Becky or Mark. A
former LPMT member contributed this prayer that we often use as we pass the Joys, Sorrows and Milestones candle, naming those who’ve shared with us as well as others that we wish to remember.
Let us open our minds and hearts to the place of quiet, to the silent prayer for the healing of
pain and the soft, gentle coming of love. And as
we reflect let us name those that we hold in our thoughts . . .
And in the days that follow, as we rush through our busy lives, let us again take a moment to stop and hold in our minds and hearts those whom we have named this evening. -- Gene Lambirth,
Emerson Church, 3 February 2009
Lay Pastoral Care Team members enable Emerson Church to extend its pastoral care beyond that of our Co-Ministers as we minister to one another. Our ministry extends beyond Emerson as our training sessions include volunteers from other Unitarian Universalist congregations. One Team member
described our work this way, “LPMT ministry is important to me because it reminds me that life can
still be beautiful even when it is difficult.” For more information about LPMT, please look for us at church – our nametags say Lay Pastoral Ministry Team.
If talking with an LPMT member would be helpful to you or someone you know, contact one of the Co-
Ministers by calling the church office (713) 782-8250 or emailing [email protected]. -LPMT Team

Sunday Schedule & Recurring Events
November 6—Crucial Moments in the History of Our Faith In the over 200 years history of Unitarian Universalism in the USA several moments stand out in which the faith community made decisions which altered our pathway - sometimes to the good and other times for woe. Are we at such a moment now? (Short answer - yes.) And what will we decide?
November 13—For All That Has Been - Thanks; To All That Shall Be - Yes On November 16, I (Becky) will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of my ordination to the Unitarian Universalist ministry. In reflecting on these twenty-five years of serving Unitarian Universalist congregations, it seems impossible to sum it all up; and, yet Dag Hammerskjold’s words (from which the title is taken) may just
November 20—The Celebration of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is by its nature introspective, thoughtful, quiet. It is a summoning of our better angels to restore the soul of gratitude within us - for our own sake, for the sake of others, and for the sake of the world.
November 27—Mixed Blessings: Thanksgiving Stories Family holidays bring joys and challenges. Both deserve exploration, both lead to discovery, and, in the end, true gratitude.

Social Action Council News The fall is bursting with opportunities to engage in Social Action! Please come by the table in the Gathering Place on Sunday mornings to check us out. Our quarterly interest will focus on education, both social action opportunities and educating our congregation on important social justice issues.
Emerson Will Expand Its Community Support with 2011 Endowment Grants! Are you involved with a non-profit organization that has a project or cause that needs some funding? It is time for you to submit a grant proposal for Emerson’s 2011 Endowment Grant funds made possible from the 10% Solution that the congregation passed in 2008. This year
we expect to award over $40,000 thanks to higher growth of the Endowment Fund. The Endowment Grant Evaluation Team comprised of Barb Adams, David Bates, Tony Collins, Will Irwin, Phil Richardson and Carolyn Truesdell has formed and is ready to answer your grant questions and to review your requests. More than 10 applications already have been requested for a wide range of non-profit organizations. You can obtain your own an
application from Phil Richardson at [email protected]. Please be sure to return your completed grant application to the committee by the November 10 deadline for your proposed project to be considered.
Houston Food Bank Pilot Project Are you interested in helping people become food sustainable? Eating healthier? If
so then you can dedicate a small amount of time to make a self watering container here at Emerson. The containers will be donated to the Houston Food Bank with soil and a plant to be given to clients. These containers will allow clients to begin growing their own produce in their back yards with a minimum of resources needed. The project is being
coordinated collaboratively with the Food Bank, Social Action Council and Ministry for Earth. You can sign up at the SAC table in the Gathering Place or contact Christel Erickson-Collins [email protected] or Ann May [email protected] . Dates for making the containers are November 20, 10:00, and January 28. There will also be a workshop at the Bioneers Conference on November 11 or 12 (See article on opposite page). The following video will provide more information: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXEgJXec_Zk

EXTRA! EXTRA! Don’t Miss!
University of Houston law professor and legal ethicist Leslie C. Griffin, J.D., Ph.D., will address an upcoming U.S. Supreme Court
case alleging employment discrimination by a Lutheran school at the annual Kilgore Lecture.
"Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission" has far-
reaching implications involving the relationship between church and state, specifically whether the church can exempt its employees from national employment laws. Oral arguments before the Supreme Court are expected to begin October 5.
The case involves a former teacher who was fired
under the rule of “ministerial exception” to employment laws. The plaintiff asserts, however, that the church is retaliating against her because she was allegedly insubordinate in filing a disability claim. The EEOC sued the school on her behalf.
Prof. Griffin believes the central issue is whether
organized religion has to follow the law, or whether the argument of “ministerial exception” allows it to discriminate against teachers, organists, secretaries and other employees. Prof. Griffin has enlisted 63
professors of law and religion and has filed an amicus brief supporting the EEOC position. Friend-of-court briefs have also been filed by the ACLU, the Unitarian Universalist Association, the National Council of Jewish Women, the Sikh Council on Religion and Education, and Americans United for Separation of Church and
State.
Prof. Griffin holds the Larry and Joanne Doherty Chair in Legal Ethics at the University of Houston Law Center, where she teaches constitutional law, law and religion, torts, and professional responsibility. Her J.D. is from Stanford University and her Ph.D., in Religious Studies, is from Yale University. Prof. Griffin is a
passionate advocate of the separation of church and state, which she believes is being increasingly overlooked in American society.
This is a free event. If you have questions, please contact Communications Administrator, Molly Martin at 713-782-8250/[email protected].

Abolitionists’ Corner—Debt Bondage In an attempt to further educate Emersonians about the various forms modern-day slavery can take, from time to time the Emerson UU Abolitionists are going to highlight one particu-
lar type of human trafficking in this column. Please take time to read this information be-cause your educated eyes and ears can make you alert to abuses that may be happening “right under your nose.”
This month, we are highlighting a practice called “debt bondage.” Debt bondage occurs when a worker is told they must repay a debt to their employer, usually for be-ing brought into the US illegally, before they are free to
seek other employment. They begin to work or provide services to repay the debt, but the terms of repayment
offered to the worker are unfair and exploitive. Wages are unfairly low, interest rates are unmanageably high, and/or fines are accrued (for “insubordinate behavior”), all in-creasing the size of the debt. Because the debt can never be paid off, the worker is trapped. In addition, often the person’s passport or immigration documents have been confiscated to provide an additional hold on them; they
are forced to live in deplorable conditions, and are not fed adequately.
If you are suspicious of a situation and are able to talk to the individual/s in question, ask if they have access to their personal documents, if they are able to quit their job at will if unhappy, and if their employer is keeping an un-reasonable amount of their wages. Any questions about an employment situation can be directed to the US Dept.
of Labor at 1-866-4US-WAGE (www.dol.gov).
Remember, ALL workers, regardless of immigration status, are legally entitled to a fair wage.
NEXT MEETING OF THE EMERSON ABOLITIONISTS is NOV 20th!
The Emerson UU Abolitionists held their first meeting in October and are making great progress toward defining our mission and goals! Please join us for our next meeting which will be held on Sunday, November 20, at 12:30 in
Room 205.
Please come join your enthusiasm and commitment with ours as we work toward eradicating modern-day slav-ery. NO human life should be FOR SALE!
For further information about Emerson UU Abolitionists, contact Kay Kamas, [email protected].
What a pleasure it was to meet our scholars, Anna and Shiza, on October 2! Thank you to all the donors who
contributed generously during the special collection; we raised over $1,200. And special thanks to the volunteers
who have stepped forward to give the gift of their time and talent to help the girls succeed.
Barbara Elmore is now tutoring both of them in biology; that’s her specialty and their most difficult subject. Faced with a class assignment to “shadow” someone working in their chosen professions – physician and pharmacist – Anna and Shiza had no means of accomplishing the task until Emersonians came to their aid. Kit Taylor brought Anna to the VA Hospital with him and Barbara Crotty
arranged for a personal tour at The Woman’s Hospital of Texas.
After hitting several dead ends Valerie Blair persisted and found Gary Cheema, a pharmacist with Walgreen’s, who
met with Shiza. All of these individuals understand the difficulties of being the first person in a family to attend
college. The Emerson family is providing the funding, which is foundational, but this type of additional support will make the difference between academic success and failure. Kudos to all!
Groppe Scholarship Program Gains Supporters
Mark your calendars for the first ever Groppe Benefit Concert on February 18, 2012.
Musicians should contact Adrian Rodriguez, who has volunteered to be our director for the eve-
ning.
Religious Education for Children & Youth LREDA (Liberal Religious Educators Associa-tion) is my professional organization, and I serve on the continental board of trustees. For the past three days we have been in
board meetings- talking intentionally around these same themes. We have honed our board mission statement, adjusted our or-ganizational structure, and shared our vision with allies and stakeholders.
Once our annual conference begins, nearly two hundred Unitarian Universalist professional religious educators from the US and Canada will share workshops and worship ser-vices and best practices around sustainability – not just “reduce, reuse, recycle”, but how do we create systems that are intentional and nurturing and replicable? After the
weekend we will head back to the congregations we serve with new insights, new resources, and new partners.
Of course, this means that nearly two hundred Unitarian Universalist congregations are without their professional religious educators this Sunday--thank goodness that our churches are full of insightful and resourceful religious education volunteers! I’m happy to work with such dedi-cated teachers and committee members who make Sun-
day morning programs happen for our children and youth. Special kudos to Ben Withers and Rachel Bromley, who will be accompanying a group of our YRUU high school youth to a rally (weekend-long lock-in) in San Antonio!
I look forward to being with you all again on October 30th
for regular programming AND our annual UNICEF Carnival! (See ad on previous page) -Katy Carpman

Do You See What I See? Wayside Pulpit Takes to the Street!
For many years you have been able to read the Wayside Pulpit messages on posters in the front window of Westwood Hall. Wayside Pulpit messaging, which focuses on wel-coming or uplifting quotations, is provided through the UUA to be used on congrega-tional signage. As part of our efforts to reach out and be more explicit about our UU faith, in July David May and Pat Grealy began to post these messages on the north side
of our street sign. (Upcoming sermon topics are still on the south side.)
They’re out there every week whatever the weather making sure that our voice is being heard. So slow down, take a look, and feel affirmed that you are in the right place. And if you travel from the south, try a different route! We know of at least one new member
who was drawn to Emerson by the Wayside Pulpit messages. Thank you, Pat and David!
