The Minister’s Column

Marching for our lives. Our high school youth embody the new Crusade. Most of them want to remain out of politics; the issue is bigger than politics. It is a matter of life! Vulnerability can birth a whole new depth of compassionate and determined action. Watching fellow students and faculty die can do that. The students of Parkland, Florida have turned around their own state legislature...and many of them do it in the name of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Some of these young Crusaders are inspired to share time with fellow students who have been living on the margins, others are asking their parents to sign statements guaranteeing their vote for responsible gun legislation. Despite pressure from legislators and bloggers alike, they are unwilling to stop until they see a commonsense movement toward safety. They remind me of the Children’s Crusade in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. When the law of Jim Crow seemed indomitable, Dr. King talked to the children. They were the ones to face Sheriff Bull O'Connor. Just as the current youth are being targeted on the internet, those African American youth were targeted by fire hoses and dogs. And it turned the tide.

In the days ahead, take every opportunity you can to have a conversation with the children and youth around you. Read the interviews of our own youth in Dawn Frank's column. Ask how they see our world. What is important to them?

As he faced the injustices of his own world, Jesus of Nazareth waged his own crusade to bring justice to the poor and to women and to the outcast. And he set the children as role models. Not a bad idea!

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Easter Egg Hunt: Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will follow the first service on April 1st, weather permitting. Following RE classes we’ll take off out onto the lawn to search for eggs and treats. Come join in the fun!

Pizza and the Principles: Hope you can join us on April 20th from 5:30-7:30pm for our 3rd Pizza and the Principles! Come right after work/school for dinner on the Fellowship! There will be get-to-know-you activities, games, learning about our Principles, and of course, pizza! Fun for all ages 5 and up. Childcare is provided for those under 5. (Please note the change from the previously advertised date)

Child Dedication: Occasionally we hold Child Dedications, a time to recognize the joy and gift of children and to affirm our support of each family in our congregation. This year, we will hold a Child Dedication during the April 29th services. Contact Chelsea or Elaine with questions and if your family would like to participate. This is open to any family with children.

Last month some of our Middle and High School students travelled to First UU in Columbus to visit another UU Congregation. For many, it was their first trip to a UU congregation outside our own. The group asked many great questions and enjoyed another UU perspective!

In RE (Religious Education), the Middle School youth explored Christianity, Atheism, and Agnosticism through the Building Bridges curriculum. The High

School youth explored Unitarian Universalism in their monthly Coming of Age class. Both classes participated in a field trip on March 11 to the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus (see the RE page for more!). On March 14, students and teachers across the United States walked out of their schools to honor the lives of the 17 people killed at Stoneman Douglas High School, and press lawmakers to pass stricter gun control laws. The nationwide protest was both a memorial and a protest action. Members of Youth Community participated in the walk out, and shared these words of reflection on their experience:

Bryce Nelson, Grade 11, Wooster High School I participated in the national Walk Out because I saw it as an opportunity to express how I feel on a matter that’s important to me. School safety seems like something that no one should ever have to worry about, but recent history and events have brought many people to question it. I believe that every student should feel safe and secure in their learning environment at all times. No student should ever have to feel that their safety is at risk. As for the Walk Out itself, I was proud to be among like-minded people who stood alongside me. I felt empowered and that change was absolutely possible. I hear people say all the time that the youth are our future and I completely agree. This new generation is capable of so much and the impact they will have in the near future will be massive. The youth of this world now have a voice and we are not afraid to use it. We are the future. Tyler Keating, Grade 10, Wooster High School I am incredibly proud of my classmates and peers who stood up in memory of the kids who lost their lives in the school shooting down in Florida. There were some people who were upset because the walk out was advertised as nonpolitical… but there is no way to honor their memory without it being political. I respect the opinions of those who did not attend the walk out, for either academic or political reasons, but I don’t see how they can think that attempting to get political change to make all of us safer is taking rights away. Chloe Chandler, Grade 9, Orrville High School I participated because I felt advocating for stricter gun laws and honoring the 17 individuals who perished in Parkland was the right thing to do, and that I would have a [positive] experience. I did not have a [positive] experience...our principal wouldn’t even let us go outside because it was “too cold.” [The administration] promot[ed] “Walk Up, Not Out.” There were about 40 people there. Most…just wanted to get out of class. I’m not happy with my school right now.

“Our hands will not be clean until we get them dirty,

until we roll up our sleeves and match our words with deeds” Forrest Church, Unitarian Universalist minister

Every meeting stands alone, so newcomers are always welcome.

Membership Committee UU Inquiries: These events focus on orienting our newest friends of the fellowship to Unitarian Universalism and our Wayne County congregation. We held our (almost) spring gathering on March 18 with seven attendees as well as some staff and committee members to help explain how the UUFWC functions and how new folks can get involved. Our next UU Inquiry event will take place this summer with the date to be determined. It is recommended that anyone wishing to become a member of the congregation attend one of these sessions. As a member you can add your voice to congregational votes and serve on committees reserved for members only.

New Members: Four new members signed our book in March. They are Karen Armstrong, Scot Armstrong, Veronica DeMarco and Ryan DeMarco. They will all be highlighted in our May newsletter, but in the meantime, please welcome them to our fellowship!

Women’s Lunch Groups: The scheduling is set for these popular, relaxing gatherings that are open to all UUFWC women. All lunches take place at 11:30am at the downtown Buehlers Café. The restaurant has been most accommodating with our sometimes-unknown numbers and providing individual checks for even our largest gatherings.

Listed below are two new titles accompanied by descriptions from the books’ back covers:

FORKS OVER KNIVES – THE COOKBOOK: OVER 300 RECIPES FOR PLANT-BASED EATING ALL THROUGH THE YEAR By Del Sroufe 641.5 Srou 2012

“…If you want to lose weight, lower your cholesterol, avoid cancer, and prevent (or even reverse) type 2 diabetes and heart disease, the right food is your best medicine. Thousands of people have cut meat, dairy, and oils and seen amazing results. If you’re among them – or you’d like to be – you need this cookbook.

Del Sroufe…proves that the Forks Over Knives philosophy is not about what you can’t eat, but what you can. Chef Del and his collaborators Julieanna Hever, Judy Micklewright, Darshana Thacker, and Isa Chandra Moskowitz transform wholesome fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes into hundreds of recipes – classic and unexpected, globally and seasonally inspired, and for every meal of the day, all through the year.”

WORSHIP THAT WORKS: THEORY AND PRACTICE FOR UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS By Wayne Arnason and Kathleen Rolenz 264.09132 Arna 2017

“Just ten years after it was first published, Worship That Works is already a classic text of the Unitarian Universalist liturgical arts. Following a road trip in which they visited congregations of various sizes and traditions, the authors offer essential theory and practical advice about how to improve the key elements of worship services and increase the spiritual resonance of worship through symbols, music, cultural sensitivity, inclusion, and more. Significantly updated, this second edition includes revisions and new chapters on multicultural worship, multigenerational worship, and new models of services for contemporary practices.”
