Cynthesis: AFFECTION

When assigned to charge the children (of all ages) with stewardship that arises from our Green Sanctuary designation and in honor of Earth Day, I pondered long and hard about how best to do so.

Eventually, I settled upon three words I wanted (and still want) to lay at everyone’s feet as a template, a guide, a starting point, and a discussion starter. Trinitarian as this may seem, three is a good number.

The words are: Love, Care & Know. My message is one that could be expanded upon infinitely and upon which much can be said and written, but I tried to keep it simple.

They are, these words, both complementary and interchangeable. You can start at any point and arrive at the same place. (Remember I started by asking why people come to church and offered a suggestion: to grow as a human being and to become more humane). If you accept that as a valid reason, then how do you grow and evolve into greater humanity (and humanitarianism, small H intended)?

I am a Wendell Berry-ian. Maybe I am the first one to come out and call it a religion or a movement but I doubt it. Hence I was beyond delighted to hear of the overwhelming reception his Jefferson Lecture received, and I hope that much as Wendell Berry hates this, it will go “viral” so that people can get on board before it is too late for humanity.

In the talk, easy to find on the web, or the full essay at

http://www.neh.gov/about/awards/jefferson-lecture/wendell-e-berry-lecture, Wendell Berry uses words like affection, truth, nature, love, hope, beauty, joy, many of my favorite words (I have a few others, like integrity, organic, dignity, and trust). He argues that we as a people AND AS INDIVIDUALS MUST choose between what he calls “greed” (self-centeredness) and “affection.”

That’s what I was trying to say (less eloquently) when I gave my Earth Day Trinity. You can start with love, caring OR knowing, and you will, inevitably, move to the other two. It applies to almost all human endeavor. How we know something is through our senses, and what I will call intuition, what Mr. Berry calls inspiration, or “God.” Knowing, loving, and caring are the stuff of a lifetime worth of thought and effort, and surely of our communal endeavor here at UUCL.

Affectionately, Cynthia

P.S. Much as you may not see it, my affection for this congregation is boundless. I felt you were with me when I was on sabbatical, writing with Herm’s pen, meditating with Sally’s candle, guided by Kathy’s poem… I am grateful for the care, affection & chance to know one another that you bring into my life.

Our Journey Together

Religious Exploration (RE)

for Children and Families

Stacey Stone, Director of Religious Exploration

for Children & Youth

RE at UUCL is a place where:

We encourage the children's questions and ideas,

We learn from history and current issues,

The adults and children inspire & learn from each other,

We feel safe to discuss our feelings and concerns,

We feel supported and discover that we are not alone,

We develop our own spiritual identity,

We establish friendships with people of all ages,

We grow together,

AND we strive to make the world a better place.

Please send brief information regarding your graduate to: uucldre@uucl.org. We will share the short updates in the June Uniview with our caring community.

During the Summer

Starting June 3 and continuing on the first Sunday of every month, Stacey will be leading team-building games and activities.

What about the rest of the summer Sundays?

The RE program is taking a break this summer so we can plan for the fall and give our dedicated volunteers a chance to recharge.

This is your chance to help! If you have one Sunday available and would like to lead outdoor activities, art,

play music, garden or share your special interests or skills, let us know. Contact Stacey to coordinate ideas. The sign-up calendar is in the RE classroom wing.

- Any Sundays that we do not have scheduled Leaders, the children can remain in the service or play outside with parental supervision.

Please keep in mind that UUCL's Safe congregation policy requires at least 2 adults with any group of children. All adults working with children are required to give consent for a background screen.

Let's have a safe and happy season!

If you have heard your children or youth singing a new song, it could be from our 4 week Music time for all children and youth. Thank you to Sally McCord for her dedication and musical leadership!

What can we do to make the world a better place...

Clean up our own mess, clean up our own mess.

Recycle the good stuff, dispose of the bad stuff

Clean up our own mess.

Love your sister, Love your brother,

Love one another,

That's what we all can do.

It is the simple truth. We need to take care of our earth, our lives and the people around us. I truly believe that if we work together we can make a difference.

Wishing you blessings on your journey,

Stacey

PianoForte Notes

“When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.” ~ Margaret Wheatley

And so we come together for music making! What a glorious year it has been at UUCL for music: two Music Sundays, a very festive Christmas, a powerful Earth- Centered Easter and all kinds of musical Sundays in between.

Not only have we grown in numbers of participants (last time I counted we had over 40 participating musicians at UUCL) and grown individually in our musicianship, but perhaps most importantly we have grown as a community of friends. We are truly an ensemble. We have taken the time to get to know each other, grieved with each other, laughed with each other, nurtured and cared for each other. Thank you my friends, this is why we come together.

I know many individuals’ stories at UUCL and it becomes more important to me every day that we cherish and work to strengthen our connections with each other. Simply put, we need each other. Thank you for sharing your self with each other and of course, thank you for sharing your time, energy, emotions and talents with all of us at UUCL.

"Raw Faith" Documentary Comes to Lexington Wednesday, May 2

Film Focuses on Former UUCL Member Marilyn Sewell

Question & Answer Session with Marilyn Follows Screening

UUCL is sponsoring the screening of the "Raw Faith", an intimate and revealing documentary about two years in the private life of Unitarian Universalist minister Rev. Marilyn Sewell. Marilyn, a former UUCL member, is an outspoken and socially progressive Unitarian minister.

Follow her journey as she questions her future, her difficult past, her God and her ability to love. As Marilyn's life unfolds in front of the camera (in real time), she shares her journey with remarkable candor, humor and increasing wisdom, ultimately leading her to an unexpected revelation of faith and love in all its guises. The New York Times wrote, "The documentary 'Raw Faith' features two things seldom seen on a movie screen these days: spirituality that doesn’t sound maniacal, and older adults who are exploring romance."

The film will be shown at Lexington Public Library’s Central Branch Theater, 140 E. Main St., Lexington. Doors open at 6:00pm; the film begins at 6:30pm.

Tickets are $8/person and will be available at UUCL on April 29 before and after

Interfaith Registration Drive for “BeThe Match Registry” (National Marrow Donor)

Saturday, June 9, 10:00am-2:00pm

Four years ago my son received a stem cell transplant which saved his life. We were fortunate because his sister was a perfect match and we did not have to use the registry, but we learned at that time how many people were desperate to find a match through the Be The Match Registry.

Every day, thousands of men, women and children with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases search the Be The Match (National Marrow Donor) Registry for a life-saving donor. They need a marrow transplant to survive. 70% of patients will not find a donor within their family. They depend on the Registry to find someone willing to offer them a second chance to live.

Fewer than half of patients who need a marrow transplant find the match they need to save their lives. Because tissue types are inherited, patients are most likely to match someone of their own race or ethnicity. Potential donors of every background are needed, especially ethnic and racial minorities.

June 9 Special

It costs about $100 to add someone to the Registry (tissue typing and other expenses). Be The Match (National Marrow Donor Registry Program) covers some of this cost, but they depend on donations to help with this expense.

However, we want folks to be able to join without worrying about a financial donation. Join the Registry at UUCL on June 9 and you will not have to pay anything to join – unless you want to.

We will accept financial donations from anyone who wishes to help in this effort. We hope many who are not eligible to join the Registry will make a donation that will enable someone else to join on June 9. We already have one donor who will match dollar for dollar every contribution that is made, up to $3,000.

Be The Match is a 501-c(3) non-profit organization and all contributions are tax deductible. 100% of each contribution is dedicated to adding new donors to the national registry.

Who Can Join the Registry

You must be between 18 and 60 years old, be willing to donate to any patient in need and meet some basic health guidelines.

Patients especially need donors between 18 and 44. That’s because younger donors produce more and higher quality cells than older donors.

Registration Process

When you register, a swab of your cheek cells is taken to find the person’s tissue type. Once registered, potential donors may be contacted in the future by the Registry and asked to donate if they are a match for a patient needing a lifesaving transplant. Saving a life by donating marrow is much less invasive to the donor than in the past, and usually does not involve surgery, a hospital stay or any significant discomfort.

Several members of our congregation are already members, including David Miller, Margot van Eck and Kim Browning – and I’m sure there are other members of our congregation already on the Registry.

We hope you will join us in this effort to save lives. More information is available at www.marrow.org.

Sincerely, Toni O’Neil
