November 1 - Pandemic Grief: A Grief Experience Beyond the Norm –Elizabeth Lewis
Grief is a necessary emotion – a way of processing the pain of loss. But grief is also a depleting emotion, one that can take a toll on our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
The global pandemic has presented us with what grief specialists call “a grief experience beyond the norm”. Such grief experiences make grieving harder than usual because sometimes we’re not sure what we’re grieving, or if it’s OK to feel the loss we’re feeling, and we might feel we have little or no idea how to forge a path toward healing. Come learn about the four types of grief identified as beyond the norm, how these types relate to the pandemic, and specific actions that are recommended in order to work skillfully with the pain of loss.
Elizabeth Lewis is a motivational speaker, personal development coach, and spiritual counselor whose areas of expertise include resilience building, forgiveness facilitation, healing art and writing, and trauma healing. Recognizing that there is no “one-size-fits-all” path to wellness and a sense of wholeness, Elizabeth has pursued extensive training and certifications in diverse approaches to resilience, healing, and growth. She received certification as a grief support specialist through the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Elizabeth also draws on her personal resilience and experience in overcoming trauma to help people find their own best path to wellness
November 4 - Post-Election Reflection –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
This special 7:00p.m. mid-week service will hold sacred space for members and friends of LCUUC to be in community and share their responses to the previous day’s election results (or the lack thereof).
November 8 - Embodied Spirit –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
On this Sunday after the Presidential Election, prepare to engage in some embodied spiritual practices that will ground us in the present moment so we may be best prepared for whatever the future calls us to do.
November 15 - Leading with Hearts and Smarts –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
Earlier this weekend, leaders of the congregation will engage in a “Startup Ministry Retreat.” During Sunday’s worship service, we will share insights that we gained from the weekend reflecting on the roots and shoots of LCUUC.
November 22 - Enough is a Feast –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
American Thanksgiving can be a complicated holiday, given the history of genocide of Indigenous people—not to mention the ongoing pandemics. And simultaneously there is enough for which to be grateful. Part of our worship will include a “Bread Meditation,” so we invite you to bring some of your favorite bread (or participate in a Bread Share as explained in the November newsletter article).
November 29 - The Meaning of Home: Guest at Your Table –Lois Remeikis and Caryl Whiteman
For many of us, our relationship with home has intensified this year. The pandemic has given many of us new appreciation for, and concerns about, the places we call home and the centrality of these places in our lives. This year, during Guest at Your Table, we invite you to witness stories of our partners around the world as they tell you about home. This service will highlight the work of Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.
