Guest Cynthesis: Hand Me Downs by Mary
Carpenter Genealogy is a dirty Word. Not to most people, but it has been a
dirty word to me for quite some time. If you have ever been to Dinners for 6 or
8, you will have heard Dave tell the story of my family having rescued the Donner Party. Since you may not remember and probably no
one except Californians or Nevadians would know, Dave
was talking about the party that was stranded in the Sierra Nevada mountains and had to
resort to eating some of their dead. Since it has been his favorite story and
everyone knows how sweet he is, I have not told him to stop. It is true that my
great, great Grandfather John Pierce Rhoads II and his brother Daniel rescued
little Naomi Pike and took turns carrying her on their backs to Sutter’s Fort.
It is documented in several books which I own and it was made into a play which
I saw in Sacramento, California where I was born. But I ask
you, “Did I ever rescue anybody?” It’s not history that I deplore, but
pedigree.
I do admit that Ph.D.s had this Sacramento State College
graduate cowed. That it took until I found a place called Unitarian
Universalist Church of Lexington, where Ph.D.s are
plentiful and “just folks” that I was able to take away the pedestal. With age
sometimes comes freedom from life scripts, or at least enough so that you can
feel you are your own person. Thus, the change from Mary Lou to Mary (“A
kinder, gentler”) - oh… somebody else said that.
Reading Goldie Hawn’s
book “A Lotus Grows in the Mud” which is a memoir of her life and spiritual
path and hearing Susan Owens’ homily on writing your memoirs was the impetus
for wondering what I am passing on to my own children.
My father was a racist and I didn’t want to pass on that.
He was also a man who enjoyed life, loved to sing and to party, worked hard,
and read and read. He always had a book in his hand and a song in his heart. I
hope that I have passed on to my children his love of life and that they are
able to understand that a person is neither all bad nor all good.
This weekend Heather and I went to see “Mamma Mia.” We
both enjoyed it very much. The movie echoed my thoughts on life. It doesn’t
matter who or where you come from but rather what you do with your life. During
one part when there was a flashback to the “flower children” I started to cry.
After the movie, I explained to her that in the days before Kennedy was
assassinated, we had such hope and the future had such promise. We need
to feel that way again. I think it
is the little moments when we share our past with our children that make the
biggest impact.
Considering
Membership?
On Saturday, August 16, from 10:00 until noon, Rev. Cynthia Cain will be leading a "Path to Membership" class in
the Allen House. This class is geared
toward people who are already familiar with our church and our faith and who
are interested in becoming
church members. (A more basic newcomers' orientation is also
offered monthly at our "UU 101" classes.)
We
will discuss the church's mission, the rights and responsibilities of
membership, and ways to become involved in our church community's work and
fellowship. Attending this class is a
great way to be prepared to make the most of your church membership experience! If you are interested, please contact Sarah Herbener at membership@uucl.org and sign up by Aug 13th.
If you will need childcare, please also let Sarah know the number and
ages of your children.

Our
Journey Together
Religious Exploration (RE) for Children and Families
As I run down the
lists of school supplies needed for my children, my mind wanders. My mom is currently in Tanzania working with
juveniles in prison and there is one pencil for every 2-3 boys. Only a few of the boys have shoes and they
receive a cup of gruel every other day. They
are so thrilled to do math and learn!
One year ago, I can recall being with our Transylvanian Partner Church village in Nyomat. They are so
fortunate to have a school with indoor plumbing (only two years old!). We were received warmly by the village
families and all of the children. Even
the Roma children attended the Summer Camp we lead. We all had a wonderful time playing games,
singing, interacting. Language was a
challenge, but it is amazing how much you can communicate in person.
In
our busy daily lives we take so much for granted. Given a different perspective, we should not
have any complaints, just gratitude. I
want my children to know that they can make a difference and see things from a
new perspective! There will be a number
of opportunities for families to participate in Community Service projects this
year; see page 5 for information about the Middle School Youth Group’s Service
Project for God's Pantry on Sat. Aug 23.
RE’s fall semester theme is UU
Identity and History.
We will be exploring our UUCL's history, each person's UU Identity, the UU Service
Committee, and famous UUs. How can you help?
â Teens or adults who
likes to write plays. The characters
will be famous UUs.
â Share your personal
spiritual journey.
â Match your talents
& interests and LEAD a Studio for 4 weeks
See the Sign-Up
sheets on the RE table.
In "Field of Dreams" the mantra
is "If you build it, they will come."
Here is the lay-out of the RE of Dreams, with all of the
volunteers needed to run a strong program.
Find a role for yourself! Imagine
the roles these people would play on a baseball team!
— Preschool/Kindergarten: Two Planners, four Guides to lead the children
and Adult volunteers – alternating Sundays, Sunday assistants/ playground
monitors (the outfield?)
— Guide teams of four for each age group: 1st-2nd, 3rd-4th,
5th-6th, and 7th-8th grades. No prep work, provides
continuity for the children, and you get to participate in all of the Studio
experiences. Special Guide INTRO session
will be scheduled soon.
— Leaders – four for every 4-week session: Each Leader runs one Studio for 4 weeks
adjusting for each age group. The
Studios are designed with each Leader's interests and talents.
— RE Committee: join
our already strong team...monthly meeting, visioning, planning and creating of
a whole year for RE at UUCL! Fun and
Action-packed. Meets the 3rd Sunday
of every month, after church from 12:45-2pm. Childcare is available!
For more information about any of the above opportunities,
please contact Stacey (the coach). Thank
you so much for making our RE Dreams a reality!
High School Conversation results are still
being processed. From the first HS
conversation, a new program was immediately started. The HSers who
volunteer to help RE during the summer log their hours in a binder and earn
money for the HS program! It is a
"win-win" situation! Our HS
Program of dreams is in phase 1: Gathering
input from all of the HS teens and parents.
We have a dynamic group of teens and want to have a program where everyone
is involved with RE, Youth Group, and church programs. Your input is valued. If you were unable to attend the recent
conversations, please send your ideas to Stacey via email.
!?!Have
you noticed what awesome High Schoolers we have!?! If you are responsible, respectful,
energetic, creative, good at listening, facilitating
and encouraging Teen leadership... we may have a place for you! Following the UUA's
recommendations, you must be 25 and pass a background check to work with teens. Contact Stacey today! Let's get things
rolling!
The
RE Committee is developing an on-line survey through Survey Monkey for the
whole congregation to share what they feel is most
important for the children to learn and experience while at UUCL. Thank you in advance for responding and
helping us gather this valuable information.
Your feedback will enrich our program!
Check
out the www.uucl.org website. There is a new RE News page with current
events. There will soon be a Teen page
too!
Wishing
you peace on your journey and love enough to share, Stacey

Membership Corner
"Benjamin Benson and Jessica Carter were married on October 24
in the Church Sanctuary. Thus ends a friendship that began in their school
years." – Church bulletin blooper
What often happens is this: people hear about our church,
they come to visit, they like our services, and the more they learn about
Unitarian Universalism, the more they think, “This is the place for me!” This is an exciting time,
especially for those of us who may have felt there was no church home where we
could feel totally accepted in all our beliefs. Finally, these people may decide to join the
church, but then comes an adjustment period that can be awkward. In fact, I was surprised to learn, that’s a major time when people lose interest in and leave any
church – not before they join, not after many years of attendance, but more
often, in the first year of membership.
I liken it to what’s often said about the first year of
marriage: You have the thrill of infatuation, the excitement of engagement and
a wedding, and then suddenly there you are, married,
and not quite knowing how to live this new life you’ve created for
yourself. There seems to be no
blueprint, and you have to make your own way.
Joining a church is the same: once you make the commitment, you have to
figure out what your life in the church is going to be.
To help with this process, I’d like to ask all my fellow
UUCL members to get to know new members as they join and to help them feel at
home in our church. The new members who
have joined our church this summer have their photos and a little information
about themselves posted on one of the bulletin boards in the Fellowship Hall;
when you’re nearby, please take a moment to put names with faces and to read
over what they say about themselves.
Then, when you see these new members around, introduce yourself. If you think a particular new member would
enjoy a group or activity that you’re a part of, invite them to come to a
meeting with you, and then introduce them around. We often assume that once people are part of
the church, they will feel comfortable just jumping in to any activity that
piques their interest, but in reality, for most people, signing the membership
book is only the “wedding” – that is, not the culmination of their relationship
with the church, but the beginning of what should be a deep and wonderful
experience of living and working in covenant with others.
And here’s the best thing about going the extra mile to
help integrate new members into our church life: you’ll make new friends,
too. My family and I have been members
of UUCL for only a few years now, and already I have friends here who are so
important to me that I feel I was somehow meant to find them here and that my
life really wouldn’t be complete without them.
Just think of the new friends you may still be meant to find at UUCL,
and then seek them out. You’ll be glad
you did – and so will they!
Happy summer! Sarah

Force
ETF Green Tip of the Month
— Just Say No. Buying a single
lemon or bottle of aspirin? Do you really need a bag to carry it in? NO!
— Use It Again. Reuse the produce bag you got
at the store for last week's lettuce to hold this week's or reuse last week's
grocery bag.
—
BYO Grocery Bags. Some stores offer incentives to shoppers who
bring their own bags - a nickel back, or a chance to win a $25 store gift card.
Make a habit of remembering your bags by
hanging them on the doorknob as soon as they're emptied, then store them in
your purse or car.
— Take a Tote. Reusable bags aren't
just good for groceries. You can use canvas or other totes for clothes and
holiday shopping, too.
CFL Recycling
Good News: Home Depot in Lexington plans to start accepting CFL’s
for recycling in the near future. So if
you have any that burn out, save them in a safe protected place until Home Depot
is ready.
Attention

Ramping Up!
The Humanist Forum and LexCUUPS
have joined forces to build and raise money for a handicap accessible ramp for
the Allen House! They will design and
build the ramp, but they need your help! Funds will be collected either in the
Foyer or the Fellowship Hall on Sundays. Currently, the projected cost for this
project is between $1,100 and $1,500. Any
money raised in excess of cost will be earmarked for further accessibility
needs. Checks may be made out to UUCL
with "ramp" on the memo line. Help
us make the Allen House accessible to all!
UU 101 –

Visitors are welcome to join Sarah Herbener, UUCL's Membership
Coordinator, in the conference room at 11:30am for a brief "UU 101" class!
No need to RSVP -- just show up, but if

office, 223-1448, or e-mailing Sarah.
We'll spend about

work of our congregation. This
is a great way to begin learning about our church and to get any questions you
might have answered! We hope to
see you there. If you have any questions
before August 3, e-mail Sarah at membership@uucl.org.
Sarah Herbener, Membership Coordinator
THANK
YOU to everyone who helped make the UU booth at the First Pride Festival a success. I also enjoyed seeing those of you who
attended. We think we had up to 2,000
people celebrate with us during the day.
Partner Church News
The group working with the Partner Church in Nyomat had a potluck picnic recently. It was made up of mostly folks who went to Nyomat the last time.
We believe it is time for greater involvement of the members of our congregation. If you have interest in taking part in any way, please tell us. We're looking for you! Information about our project(s) will be printed in the Uniview on a more regular basis.
Covenant
Groups Starting This October
Be a Part
of Them!
Again, UUCL is pleased to offer brand
new Covenant Groups starting this October.
Who could benefit from these important Covenant Groups? Everyone. They will be a way to make new friends,
enrich old friendships and become more connected with the church itself. Each group will meet once a month for two
hours, at a variety of different days and times, so the group you choose will
meet your own personal schedule. Your
commitment will run for 11 months, from October through August. During these facilitated meetings there will
be time for personal reflection and the discussion of different and pertinent
topics. It is important to note that you
do not need to be a UUCL member to participate. And for the first time, UUCL will be offering
one, or possibly two groups, geared especially for couples. If you would like to join a group or just want
more information, please look for our sign-up table on Sundays during the month
of September. There will also be
information about dates and times on the UUCL website. Call the church office, 223-1448, or e-mail
Sarah Herbener at membership@uucl.org for more
information.
Holley
Bookstore Notes
Thank you for your
continued support of Fair Trade!
Thank you to everyone who has been coming by the Holley
Bookstore in the last several months to purchase books and Fair Trade coffee,
tea, cocoa, chocolate, snacks and note cards!
Our recent sales have been very good and I am constantly re-ordering
from Equal Exchange. I have just added
two new Equal Exchange teas: Organic Ceylon Chai
Pyramid Tea and Organic Darjeeling Black Pyramid Tea. I am also adding Equal Exchange Tamari
Roasted Almonds to our snack offerings.
Of course, we will continue to offer all of your favorite Equal Exchange
products as well. Please remember, we
sell Fair Trade products above wholesale but below retail, returning just a
small profit to our church. I guarantee
that you will get the best prices in town when you buy your Fair Trade coffee,
tea and chocolate at the Holley Bookstore!
In June I had the opportunity to visit Equal Exchange at
their West
Bridgewater, Massachusetts headquarters.
It was a great visit! My mom and
my three sons accompanied me. We were
treated to a tour of their facility, including their new (in 2007) coffee
roaster which is something to see. We
participated in a coffee cupping and got to meet just about everyone who was in
the building that particular day. It was
great to reconnect with the staff members I had traveled with on our Dominican Republic trip. And
I met many of the other people I have talked with or have seen in photos. They are a great group of people dedicated to
helping the small farmers in our world.
I also had the opportunity to meet with Evan Goldsmith,
President of Hope for Women, in his Burlington, Vermont office. He shared with us
some new directions they are looking to take with their company, all the while
maintaining their commitment to work with businesses that are run by
women. They are soon going to be adding
a new line of cards made by women in El Salvador. I hope to
be able to sell these as well as the beautiful ones we currently carry made by
women in India. I have
been very pleased with the reception you have given these beautiful cards. I will be re-ordering soon.
I would also like to mention Treading Lightly, a new book the Holley Bookstore is carrying. This book was written by UUCL member David
Anderson and it is hot off the press. We
are actually the first bookstore in town to carry his book. I served as editor of the book so I am very well-acquainted with its content. Its subject matter is near and dear to my
heart as it talks about the joy of conservation, moderation, and simple
living. I believe that everyone who
cares about our planet will be interested in reading this book. Please come by and take a
look at Treading Lightly.
Thank you again for your support of our church
bookstore. My boys and I really enjoy
running the bookstore. We love seeing
those of you we already know and we love to meet new people too. I am always happy to answer any questions you
may have about Fair Trade and Fair Trade fundraising with Equal Exchange. Come by and see us at the Holley Bookstore!
Thank you, Kim
