Grounding in Love
|
|
On this Bring-a-Friend Sunday, come explore the loving roots of Unitarian Universalism. When we dig deep into our spiritual sustenance, we might just find that love is as messy as it is nourishing. This is the first in a 3-part sermon series on The Courage to Claim Your Call. Image courtesy of Meadville Lombard Theological School.

Teaching the Truth about School Board Takeovers
|
Banning books, micromanaging curricula, restricting chosen pronouns and what teachers can say and display in their classrooms - there is a trend nationwide, and particularly in the Milwaukee suburbs, of school boards being taken over by GOP-endorsed members following a playlist encouraging divisive, culture-war policies. This is a planned agenda, promoted by several very well-funded and organized, right-wing extremist groups. It's time to realize what has been happening locally to better understand how we might counter this offensive.
In this presentation, we'll hear from people working to oppose this agenda - a former school board member, a parent activist and a retired teacher in the Waukesha area. They will lay out what is happening, why, and what we need to do to support our students and teachers and try to save our public school system. The program will be an hour, with time for Q&A at the end.

ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY
on Saturday, October 29th 10:00am-11:30am
Please join in with our autumn Adopt-A-Highway cleanup at 10 am on Saturday October 29. Meet at the front door of the LCUUC church (weather permitting, of course).
LCUUC has participated in Waukesha County's "Adopt A Highway" program since 2001. This program relies on organizations such as ours to pick up and bag trash along our assigned County Highway to get rid of the litter and make our roadways more attractive; and we get publicity in the form of signs along the designated stretch of highway. Each participating organization commits to 3 cleanups per year. Our stretch of road is Highway E, from the intersection with K (northwest corner of LCUUC property) north to highway EF. If you have never done this, please give it a try!
Wear good walking shoes and gloves. We supply the bags and vests (compliments of the County), and bottled water. Meet at the front door at 10:00am The clean-up takes about 1-1/2 hours total, is a nice sociable walk, helps our environment, and publicizes our church.
Anybody is welcome. Per Waukesha County rules, children participating must be at least 11 years old or in 6th grade.
Contact Gerry Flakas with questions at gerflak@aol.com or 262-646-2703.

Kintsugi Sangha Meditation
We meet every Monday from 6:30-8:30pm on Zoom. Go to Sangha Meeting or visit the Sangha page for details
Families are welcome!
People of all ages are invited back to worship service. Because LCUUC is not currently offering Religious Education (RE) classes during service, DIY materials are being prepared for guardians to use with their young ones who are not interested in participating in worship. For example:
* Pick up a “Busy Bag” at the sanctuary entrance for use in the sanctuary
* In the Nursery, play with toys and games
* In the Social Hall (where the sounds of worship will be audibly piped in), find toys, games,
and coloring sheets to enjoy
Please note that guardians need to be supervising their own children since we have no RE volunteers at this time. If you’d like to become an RE volunteer, please email cfm@lcuuc.org
Our new official position, based on the available information we have is that we are now strongly recommending masks when inside the church for any group activities. It is not a requirement, and we hope that it will not come to us needing to require them again, but we need to start operating with a higher level of caution and be prepared that if conditions in our area continue to worsen we may need to take additional measures.

A Welcoming Community
|
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.
