SUNDAY SERVICE:

"As if." Two words, two syllables, four letters. Such a small phrase, yet it can sometimes help us navigate the ups and downs of our lives. Tony's sermon will explore the power of "as if" to change "what is"; its use in making new scientific discoveries (think Albert Einstein); and its spiritual implications (especially as if impacts our first UU principle of inherent worth and dignity)

BYO GATHERINGS
The last two of the season: Weds Oct. 21st & 28th!

A portable restroom will be available.

This month we are supporting UU the Vote and the Mukwonago Food Pantry!
|
|
For the month of October, we will be encouraging donations to organizations working to Get Out The Vote. We all know how important this election is, and these donations are a way for us to get more voters to the polls!
Donations will support “UU The Vote”, which will be the focus of October 4th's worship service, and our congregation’s work with Vote Forward. Through Vote Forward, our members have written thousands of letters to voters with a personal message of why it’s important to vote. It has been shown to be a very effective way to increase voter turn-out!
Please give generously to this very important work, as we need an additional $750 to help with the postage costs for the letters that have been written by our members! Write your checks to LCUUC with the memo "Get out the Vote"

Also, please consider making an online donation to LCUUC in place of the usual Sunday donations. Select "Miscellaneous Fundraising" in the list of contributions funds. Thanks for supporting LCUUC.
Go to DONATE to support these vital organizations providing support in this great time of need and to support LCUUC. If you would prefer to send a check, mail it to LCUUC with "Mukwonago Food Pantry”, "UU the Vote", and/or "Sunday Basket" in the memo line. Every dollar helps! Thank you!

What's Happening in RE:
Dia de Los Muertos & All Souls Day
Family Zoom Social Night for Children's RE
On Friday, Oct 16th, we had RE's first Family Zoom Social Night. Our topic this month is honoring the loved ones we have lost. In the spirit of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and All Souls Day which occur in the beginning of November.
Everyone on the zoom meeting was able to share pictures and memories of those loved ones (human or pets) that we have lost (everyone will have a chance to show their pictures on the call). We did some "meditative" coloring with some colored pencils, crayons, or thin-tip markers using templates to color a traditional Skull Mask in the students' own bright and beautiful way!! Students received a recipe for a traditional sweet bread that is baked during the Day of the Dead celebration (it's a yeast dough so will take several hours to prep/bake) just in case they wanted to have a yummy treat to share with their family.
Some families had watched the movie CoCo to further the theme of Dia de los Muerto! It's a wonderful Disney/Pixar film from 2017 that is rated PG. Thanks to all who participated!

Stewardship Program for 2020/21 Begins!
The stewardship committee, in consultation with Rev. Carin, has decided there would in fact be value in using the Zoom virtual meeting tool for the annual pledge group meetings, contrary to what we published in the September newsletter. In this time of separation from our fellow church members, we could use every opportunity to bring our community together!
As I think about what this community means, it is easy to be reminded why I support it: The thought-provoking Sunday services, the music, the committed environmental and social justice efforts, the RE for our UU youth, the Caring Circle, and all those dedicated volunteers and people including our new Rev. Carin that make it happen and keep our church going.
Members will be invited to come to one of nine virtual stewardship small group meeting on Zoom. Those members who aren’t using Zoom will be contacted individually. As always we will try to keep the meeting to a half hour. It’s a chance for you to share why you support our community, hear the latest budget and pledge information, ask questions with your fellow members, and make an informed choice about your pledge for the 2020-2021 church year.
If you’re not able to join us for this meeting, you can always join us for a later meeting. I’m pleased to report that, thanks to Leann’s hard work, you can now go to Stewardship Program where you will find a schedule of meeting dates, all the meeting materials, and a virtual pledge card which can be filled out and submitted online without even having to print it.
Our church needs your financial and volunteer support more than ever! We look forward to seeing and talking with you.
