SUNDAY SERVICE:
|
|
Happy 4th of July! For many of us, fireworks are a colorful and engaging display that is entertaining and fun to watch. My family has its own traditions of purchasing and shooting off fireworks at a friend’s house as part of their annual outdoor celebration. My brother, my dad, and I - it's not every day we get to be together, so this is a special time for us. This year with the current pandemic situation, it will be different in how we celebrate and how will that impact our tradition.

Collections for July 2020:
Collections for the month of July are for the Waukesha Food Pantry and SOPHIA.
|
|
Special collection for July will go to SOPHIA for their Immigrant Support Initiative. Immigrant families in Waukesha County are experiencing unprecedented hardship because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Many of these immigrant families have lived and worked in Waukesha County for years; have paid taxes and even owned their own businesses. Unlike most of us, because of their undocumented immigrant status, they will not receive Federal or State benefits that were created to support families during this time of crisis.
The greatest need identified is for assistance with rent and housing expenses. SOPHIA has set a goal of collecting $10,000.00 to assist with this need and support our brothers and sisters that have nowhere else to go.

Please Welcome Rev. Carin Bringelson to LCUUC!
It is with great rejoicing that we share the news that the Rev. Carin Bringelson has agreed to a one year, ¾ time contract ministry position with Lake Country Unitarian Universalist Church. In Carin’s Ministerial Record, she notes, “Others have described my ministerial presence as warm, open, and peaceful; grounded and centered; and inspiring a sense of trust and comfort in others. I strive to open my heart to others with curiosity, deep listening, and compassion. Once people get to know me, they will also see my playful and creative side: I strive to express joy whenever I feel it, and I hope that people can have fun together!” In our interactions with Carin over the past few months, we see these same traits. We are excited that she will collaborate with us on LCUUC’s journey over the next year and hope that our relationship grows beyond this initial period.
Carin completed her Master of Divinity from Meadville Lombard Theological School earlier this year and is completing an intern ministry at First Unitarian Society of Madison. In that role, she was charged with revitalizing the Campus Ministry program at UW Madison. Her home congregation is the James Reeb UU Congregation, also in Madison, where she served as the Religious Education Coordinator for three years and as an active lay leader for many years. Carin has a B.A. in Sociology and African American Studies from Grinnell College and master’s degrees in educational policy studies and Library and Information Studies from U.W. Madison.
We believe that Carin will be an ideal partner as we look toward supporting and re-imagining LCUUC, especially during a global pandemic. She describes her experience of shifting a planned sermon on forgiveness and perfectionism in mid-March to an emergency on-line format as follows: “Serendipitously, the previously chosen topic allowed us to actually practice living into forgiving ourselves and one another as we tried new ways of worshiping in messy, imperfect — and life- giving — ways.” From her background in technology and information sciences to her commitment to social justice and anti-oppression work to her view that strategic planning should create “living” documents that members of the congregation embrace and use – Carin brings a broad range of strengths that will support the ministry of LCUUC in our community.
Carin is especially interested in continuing her exploration of small group ministry as a key facet of congregational life. She is acutely aware of the need to balance human interaction with risk and will thoughtfully work with us to find our new normal in terms of church life. We could not ask for a better partner to help us continue our mission in this challenging time.
Please join us in celebrating and welcoming Carin and her wife, Bev Buhr, to the Lake Country Unitarian Universalist Community! And feel free to find out more about Carin at her website: https://www.uuministry.com/carinbringelson/.

For more than twenty years, the Welcoming Congregation Program sponsored by the UUA has helped Unitarian Universalist congregations become more welcoming and inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.The spiritual practice of welcome is a very important one to the LCUUC faith community, and the continuing commitment to bringing attention to and taking action in regards to social justice issues is our work.
The LCUUC high school youth presented a service on March 8th, recognizing the struggles of the youth of the LGBTQ+ community. Their service ignited hope and challenged everyone to continue to fight for a more equal world. Their message was powerful and inspiring! Thanks to the six LCUUC high school youth for their leadership in running such a well organized service. |
