8 Building Your Own Theology Unitarian Universalism differs from other denominations because the religion does not provide a ready-made theology. Instead, each person has a right and an obligation to determine the truth for him / herself. It can be a daunting task. Building Your Own Theology (BYOT) is an intensive 12-week program that uses readings, written reflections, discussion and fellowship to help participants travel down the road of spiritual discovery. So, join us in March for a very deliberate look at who we are, what we believe, and who we, individually and collectively, can become. Participants must sign up for the program and are expected to try to attend every session. There is a small amount of weekly homework in the form of reading and reflection. The program culminates in the development of a personal spiritual manifesto. Dates: Tuesdays - SEE SCHEDULE BELOW Time: 7:30 9:00 PM Where: Servetus USH Meeting House Class Size: Limited to 10 participants Fee: $5 Contact: Tom Gervais at: tom.j.gervais(at sign)gmail.com 860/ BYOT Part 1 3/1/2016 3/15/2016 3/29/2016 4/12/2016 4/26/2016 5/10/2016 In Septemb er Novemb er. - Summer break - BYOT Part 2 9/6/2016 9/20/ /4/ /18/ /1/ /15/2016

12 FRIDAY NIGHT PIZZA AND MOVIE DINNER & MOVIES SERIES January 8, 5:30 PM Beautifully scripted and perfectly cast,.. uncommon charm and insight"** OK, the title is grim, but many many of you voted for it to be included in our film series. Earning a standing ovation, it won the 2015 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and got epic publicity. It was adapted by its author from a New York Times bestselling novel; music scored by Brian Eno. So, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is the Friday, January 8, DInner & Movie feature. Plot: When a quirky high school kid get shamed by his mother into reaching out to with a classmate with cancer, he is angry, but gives it a try. The ensuing relationship is funny/weird/silly/difficult/awkward, but heart-wrenching, and, yes, "uplifting". I think you will smile and laugh, as well as feel for them, in this untraditional coming-of-age film. And Earl is an engaging side-kick. This PG-13 movie will be shown with sub-titles. You can watch a trailer here: We will gather on Fri, Jan 8, for popcorn and drinks at 5:30 PM, with pizza and salad meal at 6, movie at 7, with optional discussion following. Remember, you can invite non-ush folks to attend with you. To reserve ($10 each), please call Janice at by Wednesday, Jan 6. Leave a message on the answering machine, being sure to specify number of reservations, as well as pizza topping choices (meat or veg). Then you can pay with cash or check on night of the movie. There will be a Programs Table on Jan 3. If on Fri, Jan 8, you find you cannot attend, please call my cell phone ( ) before noon and leave a message so the pizza order can be adjusted. *from DVD box cover **from Rotten Tomatoes website
13 FRIDAY PIZZA/MOVIE FEBRUARY 12, :30 PM REGISTER BY NOON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10 The second feature from director Michel Gondry (Human Nature) finds the filmmaker reteaming with screenwriter Charlie Kaufman for this off-the-wall romantic comedy. Jim Carrey stars as Joel Barish, a man who is informed that his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had her memories of their relationship erased from her brain via an experimental procedure performed by Dr. Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson). Not to be outdone, Joel decides to have the same procedure done to himself. As Mierzwiak's bumbling underlings Stan (Mark Ruffalo) and Patrick (Elijah Wood) perform the operation on Joel -- over the course of an evening, in his apartment -- Joel struggles in his own mind to save the memories of Clementine from being deleted. Kirsten Dunst, David Cross, and Jane Adams also star. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi ch=eternal%20sunshine%20of%20a%20spotless%20mind
14 GREAT DECISIONS 2016 Great Decisions usually meets at 9:00 AM in Servetus on the 1 st and 3 rd Sundays of the month though June. For more information contact: Edward Savage ESavage15(at sign)att.net GREAT DECISIONS 2016 Meetings TOPICS We're pleased to announce the topics for Great Decisions 2016 discussions, an eight-meeting series continuing each Spring at the Unitarian Meeting House for more than 25 years. We will meet in Servetus from 9:00 am to around 10:00. Registration for the meetings and briefing books is $25. and folks are welcome to drop in for a session, although at least glancing at on-line resources from the FPA is recommended as preparation. Feb 7 - The United Nations Development Goals and Realities Feb 14 (tentative) Cuba and the U.S.Middle East Alliances The following topics will be scheduled for subsequent meetings; you can get more information at or from Ed Savage, Richard Groothuis and other members of the group. The Rise of ISIS The Future of Kurdistan Migration The Koreas Climate Change Middle East Alliances - Briefing by Augustus Richard Norton From a proxy war in Yemen to an ongoing civil war in Syria, a number of ongoing conflicts have shaken the traditional alliances in the Middle East to their core. As alliances between state and non-state actors in the region are constantly shifting, the U.S. has found itself between a rock and a hard place. In a series of conflicts
15 that are far from being black-and-white, what can the U.S. do to secure its interests in the region without causing further damage and disruption? The Rise of ISIS - Briefing by Gregory Johnsen Born out of an umbrella organization of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) burst onto the international stage after it seized Fallujah in December Since then, the group has seized control of a number of critical strongholds in the country and declared itself a caliphate, known as the Islamic State. Still, the question remains: What is ISIS, and what danger does it pose to U.S. interests? The Future of Kurdistan Briefing by Jenna Krajeski Kurdistan, a mountainous area made up of parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in region: the Kurds. Now, most in the West know them for their small, oil-rich autonomous region in northern Iraq called Iraqi Kurdistan one of the U.S. closer allies in the Middle East and a bulwark against the expansion of the so-called Islamic State. What does the success of Iraqi Kurdistan mean for Kurds in the surrounding region? Migration Briefing by Joseph Chamie As a record number of migrants cross the Mediterranean Sea to find refuge in Europe, the continent is struggling to come up with an adequate response. Although Europe s refugees are largely fleeing conflicts in Syria, Iraq and parts of Africa, their struggle is hardly unique. Today, with the number of displaced people at an all-time high, a number of world powers find themselves facing a difficult question: how can they balance border security with humanitarian concerns? More importantly, what can they do to resolve these crises so as to limit the number of displaced persons? The Koreas Briefing by Scott Snyder At the end of World War II, Korea was divided in two. The northern half of the Korean peninsula was occupied by the Soviet Union, the southern by the United States. Today, North and South Korea couldn t be further apart. The North is underdeveloped, impoverished and ruled by a corrupt, authoritarian government, while the South advanced rapidly to become one of the most developed countries in the world. With such a wide gap, some are asking if unification is possible, even desirable, anymore? The United Nations Briefing by Stephen Browne and Thomas Weiss On the eve of the international organization s 70th birthday, the United Nations stands at a crossroads. This year marks a halfway point in the organization s global effort to eradicate poverty, hunger and discrimination, as well as ensure justice and dignity for all peoples. But as the UN s 193 member states look back at the success of the millennium development goals, they also must assess their needs for its sustainable development goals a new series of benchmarks,
16 which are set to expire in With the appointment of the ninth secretarygeneral in the near future as well, the next UN leader is bound to have quite a lot on his or her plate going into office. Climate change Briefing by William Sweet In the past few years, the American public has become more aware of the damage wrought by climate change. From droughts in the west to extreme weather in the wast, a rapidly changing climate has already made its footprint in the United States. Now, it s expected that the presidential election in 2016 will be one of the first ever to place an emphasis on these environmental changes. What can the next president do to stymie this environmental crisis? And is it too late for these efforts to be effective? Cuba and the U.S. Briefing by Michael Shifter and Ben Raderstorf The U.S. announced in December 2014 that, after decades of isolation, it has begun taking major steps to normalize relations with Cuba. The announcement marks a dramatic shift away from a policy that has its roots in one of the darkest moments of the Cold War the Cuban missile crisis. Although the U.S. trade embargo is unlikely to end any time soon, American and Cuban leaders today are trying to bring a relationship, once defined by antithetical ideologies, into the 21 st century.

22 SMALL GROUP MINISTRY The first time that I came to USH was the summer of For personal reasons, I had left the faith community where I had been an active member for 35 years. I was grieving the loss of the community that had been an important part of my life for all those years. That Fall, I signed up for my first SGM (that s Small Group Ministry). I wasn t entirely sure what to expect but now, six years and many SGMs later, I can safely say that I was not disappointed. Many of you have been a part of an SGM, so you know of what I speak. Some of you might be new to USH and are wondering exactly what I am talking about. SGM is: A small group of people who meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to consider a selected reading and some thought-provoking questions related to it At times, your response can be quite personal and might even cause you to reflect and remember things that you hadn t thought about in a while It is NOT a discussion group, meaning that no one replies back to what you said the group just listens. Listens hard and deeply. Maybe it should be called SLGM Small Listening Group Ministry. So, you can feel safe to share deep and meaningful thoughts. What if you don t feel like responding to a particular question? You can pass. Each member of the group is bound by a covenant, which states that what is shared in the group, stays in the group. In Small Group Ministry, you get to know others in a very personal and meaningful way. You might even get to know yourself better. There are many ways to be involved in the USH community. Being a part of an SGM is, in my opinion, one of the most meaningful ways to connect with others. Below are the details of three groups starting soon. There is a family-friendly group, an evening and a daytime group. Be engaged. Be involved. Be an SGMer! Ginny Allen

Participants are welcome for all or any part of the 1.5 hours their schedules allow.

Classes are held in 8-week sessions. Fee is $80.00 per 8-week session. For questions please contact Ginny Hedrick at
27 Program Title: The Guru In You ~ Experiencing the Transcendent Self Description: Transpersonal Psychology acknowledges the spiritual and transcendent in human experience and integrates these into modern psychological practice. It presents us with a model for living as fully mature body-mindspirit beings. Our culture emphasizes the body-mind and has sorely neglected the innate spirited part of us that we are calling the inner guru. In this 5-session class, we will investigate the nature and usefulness of the inner guru, the part of us that taps into universal peace, wisdom, love and joy. Using lecture, discussion, and lots of participatory exercises, we will have some fun exploring the guru, the source of our inspiration and inner guidance. Class is limited to 10 and we strongly encourage attendance at all sessions. How this fulfills USH mission: The first of the Unitarian Universalist Six Sources of Wisdom is direct experience of the transcending mystery. (The summer 2016 programs will be based on the six sources.) Intellectual stimulation Creative exercises Interactive group building Spiritual growth Self-help Facilitators: Judy Robbins is a psychologist whose doctorate is in Transpersonal Psychology, the field that integrates the spiritual aspects of human experience within the framework of modern psychology. Rick Tsukada is a clinical social worker who has worked as a psychotherapist and workshop leader for decades. Rick and Judy, both long-time UUs, are married and members of USH. Schedule: Five two-hour sessions. A commitment to attend all 5 is strongly encouraged. Wednesday evenings beginning March 30-6:00 8:00 PM in Servetus Suggested Donation: $25 Participant Limit: Because of the experiential nature of this group, the class is limited to ten (10) participants.
28 USH Book Club The goals of the Book Club are: (1) to foster communication and community, as do our other small church groups. Visitors to the Meeting House as well as Members are welcome to participate in the USH Book Club. (2) to read fiction and non-fiction that raise issues of interest to Unitarian Universalists (recognizing that any and all issues are generally interesting to UUs!). Membership: As with any continuing organization, consistent participation from a core of members is essential to the success of the group; i.e. regular members of the Book Club should attend meetings, read the book selected, recommend books for general reading or for a future meeting and notify the host of the next meeting if they are unable to attend. We welcome individuals who want to try out our sessions or are attracted by a particular book. Meetings: Meetings are generally held between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM on the first Thursday of each month in David s Den at the Church. Format: At the beginning of each session, it has been our custom to share and discuss poetry of interest to a participant. In our discussions we employ the rules for small group meetings as much as possible with the goal being to patiently hear everyone who wishes to share thoughts and to have as many participate as possible. Members select the books to be read at the beginning of each year, but changes during the year are always possible. We seek to read fiction and non-fiction books that are generally available -- usually books that have been issued in paperback and therefore can be easily found in libraries. Generally, the proposer of a book selected serves as facilitator to pose questions/provide background. Please feel free to try out the Book Club and see if it will meet your needs. Please talk to Richard Groothuis if you have any questions ; rgroopofus(at sign)comcast.net
29 Books selected and schedule: Feb 4: Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End- Atul Gawade Mar 3: The Last Death of Jack Harbin- Terry Shames Apr 7: The Shell Collectors: Stories- Anthony Doerr May 5: The Little Friend- Donna Tartt June 2: Spring Chicken: Stay Young Forever (or Die Trying) - Bill Gifford
30 USH Book Club: February 4 Atul Gawande s Being Mortal ALL ARE WELCOME!! One reader noted: The subject is end-of-life. But this isn t a book you suggest for your friends or family members that are exclusively experiencing the difficult decisions that come with end-of-life care. The book is appropriate for all adults young, middle, or elderly. Gawande sheds light on the deeper meaning of life by example of how we treat patients in America at the end of their lives. Although the topic is end-of-life, it manages to spark an internal discussion within you about starting to live life. And in that respect, the book speaks to us all. What fears do I have about aging? How should I handle my gradual loss of autonomy as I age? What makes life worth living? And how do I keep it worth living in old age? What should guide my end-of-life decisions? How can these questions and answers better the health care system? These are questions we should be discussing now and in 10 years and always for our friends, for our family, and for ourselves. Please talk to Richard Groothuis if you have any questions ; rgroopofus(at sign)comcast.net
