SUMMARY:A Cinematic Scripture: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
DESCRIPTION:As a sort of unintended sabbatical project\, I started developing an evolving collection of cinematic depictions of interdependence\, co-regulation\, and adjacent spiritual principles that inform UU theology (as I experience it at least). Throughout the summer\, on Wednesday evenings\, from 6:00–9:00PM in the Fellowship Hall\, I’m hopeful that we can explore some of these films together and see how they might be scripture for us. \n\n\n\nWhat do I mean by scripture? A scripture is a source of wisdom that serves as a touchstone for spiritual practice or identity. Scripture teaches about spiritual truths and inspires people to live with integrity to those truths. A scripture might offer warning\, but even in scriptural cautionary tales there is an element of hope—a counter vision for how things might have been different if spiritual principles were effectively applied. I don’t hold that everything in a famous text is scripture just because a lot of people read it. At the same time\, one of my seminary professors was fond of saying\, “Scripture isn’t scripture until someone says it is.” So\, that’s the defining characteristic I’m leaning into. \n\n\n\nThis collection of scripture is not linear\, nor is it complete. I suspect (and I may be wrong) that some of these are easier to take in and use as scriptural touchstones\, while others are more challenging. So\, we can begin with what might be easy entry points and flow from there into deeper waters. As we get comfortable with what we’re looking for in cinematic touchstones\, I hope that those of you who participate will suggest some potential scriptures to add to the catalogue as well. \n\n\n\nA brief note on what I intentionally left out: I rejected depictions of interdependence as survival necessity. I don’t want to feed the narrative that interdependence is a fallback plan when individuals aren’t able to “make it on their own.” Interdependence is not about “those others who are not like me\,” but a reality of our existence as parts of a greater web of life. That doesn’t invalidate the fact that marginalized groups often know most viscerally how deeply necessary interdependence is for survival. Whether we call it mutual aid\, finding our tribe\, or chosen family\, embracing the reality of our interdependence has always been a building block of surviving and thriving as a person with a marginalized or oppressed identity. \n\n\n\nIf this piques your curiosity\, I invite you to join us on Wednesday evenings\, from 6:00–9:00PM in the Fellowship Hall throughout the summer. Each week will be a different film and conversation\, so you can drop in at any point as you’re able. And if you want to watch films ahead of time and just show up for the collective exploration piece\, you’re welcome to do that as well. I’ll let you know what films are coming up so you can take them in as you have capacity.

SUMMARY:You can be a Navigator for only 2 hours a month!
DESCRIPTION:A note about how to fit being a Navigator for our UUCC Pretrial Support Team into your busy schedule. You make your own schedule! Whether you can spend a couple of hours a month\, or more\, it’s up to you. \n\n\n\nMany of our Navigators are working full or part time. You decide how many clients you can take at a time – some people can take one\, others more. \n\n\n\nYou can provide the entire support to your client over the phone. You remind them of their court dates over the phone. If your client needs transportation\, you can mail bus passes or schedule Uber for them. You refer them to needed community resources\, using our listing of services and “211” over the phone. \n\n\n\nOur Navigators are doing an amazing job\, and we need more volunteers to keep up with our referrals. Every volunteer helps a person through a confusing and frightening time in their life. Can you help?

Join the team as we finalize a strategy to ensure every person in our system receives the pre-trial justice they deserve.The agenda will be from 12:00 p.m -1:00 p.m. sharp to honor those who are taking a lunch break to join us. The chat will remain open afterwards to allow the planning team to gather and share additional questions with the presenters.When: March 27 from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. Where: Via Zoom

SUMMARY:UUs Together explores local example of reparations- Join us!
DESCRIPTION:The monthly meeting of UUs Together\, Monday February 23 7:00-8:30pm virtually\, will turn to the UU Shared Value of Generosity as we learn about the Reparations work of Forest Hill Church\, Presbyterian in Cleveland Heights. Forest Hill has made a commitment to “dismantling structural racism by fearlessly applying our faith to advocate and break down the systems\, practices\, and thinking that underlie discrimination\, bias\, prejudice\, and oppression of people of color”. In October 2022\, as part of that work\, the church endorsed a financial contribution to help a Cleveland Heights minority person(s)\, preferably female\, pull themselves out of Education debt. At our meeting\, Quentin Smith and Mark Chupp from Forest Hill will explain how it was decided that Reparations was the right path\, how the funds were raised\, the recipient chosen\, and the impact it has had. There will be time for questions and answers and\, perhaps\, to explore new ways UUs can live into the Value of Generosity.To receive the zoom link for the meeting\, email Laurie at sunnyskies2023@yahoo.com
