GA Issues Discussion:  On June 2, at 12:30 p.m. in the sanctuary, come hear about the issues and elections that will be part of the business agenda at General Assembly June 19-23 in Louisville, KY. What are the issues that Unitarian Universalists will be grappling with this year at our General Assembly? Think “Immigration as a Moral Issue” and “Reproductive Justice.” What are the positions of leadership that will be decided at this meeting in Louisville June 19-23? Only the President, Moderator, Board of Trustee members, and a handful of others who will steer our movement over the next years. Important stuff. You can learn more about it on June 2, as the Denominational Affairs Committee presents information on these items. Delegates to General Assembly will receive their credentials at that time, but all interested people are invited to attend. For more information, contact Gail Sphar – Denominational Affairs

MAY 2013

WEDNESDAY CLASSES

Worship Workshop

May 15, 22 and 29 (Fireside Room)

Participants in this workshop, led by our senior minister, the Rev. Gail Seavey, and our associate minister for music, the Rev. Jason Shelton, will explore the purpose, substance and style of UU worship, and examine the roles of music, readings, meditation and prayer, sermons and liturgy, both as individual elements and as parts of the whole. This is a creative, hands-on workshop. This class is a prerequisite for becoming a worship associate, but it is not required that you become one if you take the class.

A Visit from Delvin Farms

May 15 (Classroom A)

There are many reasons to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and buy a share in a farm’s harvest. Some people join for the amazingly fresh food. Some people enjoy the connection to a specific farm and farmer. Others just want to support their local food system and are looking for a simple, one-stop way to do so. Delvin Farms is a three generation family, 96-acre farm along the Harpeth River in College Grove, TN, that grows certified organic fruits and vegetables. They will share photos of the farm and talk about their growing methods, sharing information about the advantages and logistics of participating in a CSA.

JUNE 2013

Wednesday Night Multigenerational FUUN!

It was a hit last summer, so we’re bringing it back! For the months of June, July and August, Adult Religious Education will offer one multigenerational activity on Wednesday evenings.

It may be a movie, in which case it will be a G-rated classic that is less than one hour and 30 minutes. With one exception: We can’t resist showing The Wizard of Oz, which is one hour and 43 minutes, so we’ll start early that night.

It may be a game night. There’ll be Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, and matching games for the children. For the adults, it will be games like Apples to Apples, Scrabble, or Trivial Pursuit. Bring your favorite game!

Or it may be an arts and crafts night. Who knows what that might be!

All offerings will be in classroom A. Here’s what we have to look forward to in June:

• June 5 – no programming
• June 12 – Movie Night: 101 Dalmations, hosted by Victoria Raschke
• June 19 – Movie Night: Toy Story, hosted by Marguerite Mills
• June 26 – Game Night, hosted by Paige DeBenedittis

The Movie Group usually meets on the second Sunday of the month from 12:15-1:30 p.m. in the Emerson Room. However, as May 12 is Mother’s Day, this event has been postponed until Sunday, May 19. We will discuss “Another Earth” (it’s on Netflix). Please Come!

Join the Young Adult Group for good food and conversation after the second service on Sunday, May 19. For details, contact Holly Mueller at youngadults@firstuunashville.org.
