In the front of the sanctuary sits a table full of photographs. Some are old, with cracks and wrinkles,

the sepia ink beginning to fade. Others are new, in bright colors. They are of every age. They are a parent, a lover, a child, a friend. They are a teacher, a pet, a distant ancestor. Here and there on the table are objects — a medal, a crochet hook, a button. Each object and each photograph holds a memory and a life.

All Souls Day is an ancient tradition, with roots lost to obscurity. For Pagans, this is the time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. In religions and cultures across the world, one day is set aside to remember the dead, honoring their living and their gifts to us. It’s known by many names — All Souls Day, Samhain, Day of the Dead — and is celebrated many ways, but always the day honors those whose living shaped our living.

In our country we have largely left All Souls behind, preferring to

focus on the “trick or treat” aspect of Halloween. We’ve made Samhain a children’s holiday. In doing this, we’ve created a wonderful tradition, but also lost something important. We need a day to remember those who have come before. We need a day to honor those whom we have lost — not with tears, but with stories and memory.

I’m glad that Unitarian Universalist congregations have begun to reclaim All Souls Day, and I think the beginning of November, with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, is just the right time. Taking this moment to remember will strengthen us as we head into feasts and holidays. And it will remind us, in the season when so many memories come to our minds, that each memory is a blessing, and that a life well lived is a gift to us all.

This November 4, I hope you’ll consider bringing a photograph or a small memento for our altar. I know you will bring names and memories. Together, we will honor their lives.

— In faith, Dan

NOTES FROM REV. DAN

THE

A Welcoming Congregation

Small Group MinistrySmall Group Ministry is a way to

gather with other Unitarian Universalists twice a month for community, conversation and connection. Each session is organized around a theme and includes a chalice lighting, readings, and questions to spark discussion. Groups

are led by trained facilitators who meet regularly with Rev. Dan.

Currently, our congregation has five groups which meet at different times and places. If you are interested in joining a group, please contact Pam Baxter at email: DLFD.

We gather, aspiring to be a thriving, caring, and

welcoming community that supports each person's

spiritual journey, embraces diversity, challenges us

to live responsibly, and is a catalyst for a just and

compassionate world.

Sunday Services

Nov 4 ALL SOULS Rev. Dan Schatz 10 amOn All Souls Day we honor our ancestors, remember loved ones we have lost, and remember the dead. This special service will include a ritual of remembrance. All who come are invited to bring a photograph or a memento of someone you are remembering for the altar. See Notes from Dan, p. 1.

Nov 11 IS RELIGION Rev. Dan Schatz 10 am A RACKET?Unitarian Universalists sometimes have a tense relationship with the idea of “religion.” Looking at the damage done in the name of faith, it’s easy to see why some would question whether religion itself is a racket. In today’s world, is religion still valuable?

Nov 18 BREAKING Rev. Dan Schatz, 10 am BREAD Pam Baxter, and Miriam DavidsonWhen we break bread with others, we share something of ourselves. For this beloved all ages service, we invite all members and friends of our congregation to bring a kind of bread that represents your background or in some way describes you or your family. Together we will share bread and stories. We hope that some gluten free bread will also be brought so that everyone may share in the Bread Communion.

Nov 25 THANKSGIVING Rev. Kyle J. Boyer 10 am CONTINUESSo often Thanksgiving is a passing meal on the way to the hyper-commercialized Christmas season. We have solidified this mindset by essentially creating a national shopping day right after our national day of thanks. While most of us do appreciate the importance of giving thanks on the fourth Thursday of November, we sometimes forget that we must continue to give thanks even after that day.Kyle J. Boyer is an educator, social justice advocate, and minister. His work and studies lie at the intersection of education, public policy, and theology. A career educator, he has taught at the middle and high school levels and is an elected member of his local school board. He is an ordained Elder in the Church of God in Christ. A graduate of the George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania, he is currently completing the Master of Divinity program at United Lutheran Seminary.

Religious Education andBabysitting at 10 am.

Late News - Auction UpdateThe 2018 UCWC Auction was a great success. As the November Fellowtarian goes to press,

the exact totals are not finalized, but the auction has raised over $10,000. Congratulations to all.

From the President From Visioning to a Long-Range Plan

We approved a new Vision Statement at the annual meeting in June, and it contains a group of wonderful courageous phrases about what we would like to see this congregation become in the future — where we want to go. The next step is for the Board to give it a little more direction, by sketching out what types of programs may be created, and what it might look like in five years or so. We began by looking at some of the phrases used, at the October meeting, and by trying to determine what examples came to mind.

For instance, what does it mean to “be a powerful voice for UU principles in action”? Does it mean leading new causes that are not getting attention? Does it mean writing letters to the editor? Does it mean showing up with other UU groups in Harrisburg when important bills are being considered?

Within our own community, what does it mean to “strengthen connections”? Is Small Group Ministry enough? Are the men’s groups and women’s retreats fulfilling everyone’s needs? How do new people build connections here, outside of coffee hours? Is spiritual connection included, or merely friendships? Are we strengthening connections for all groups: young parents, those that live alone, and those that are in transitional periods of their lives?

What does it mean to “empower those in need and advocate for justice”? Does it mean holding a public vigil when victims or survivors are feeling lost? Does it mean allowing our space to be used for groups looking for a home for their justice work?

While we were diving deeper on this last week, we had a visitor at our Board meeting, a colleague of Rev. Dan. At the end of the two-hour meeting, he said, “Wow, I’m really impressed. I’ve seen many boards try to be more strategic, but this is the first time I actually saw it working.” Made me proud of the thoughtful team of leaders we have here.

— Janine

The next step for the Board is sketching out what types

of programs may be created, and what it might look like in

five years or so.

Community Office HoursPeriodically, Dan will host community

office hours in a local bakery or coffee shop. UCWC members and friends are invited to drop in and join Dan at any time during these hours.

Look for updates on Community Office Hours in the weekly Connections email, and come for coffee, tea, or a snack and some conversation.

Minister’s Office HoursMondays: 1 - 3 pmTuesdays: By appointmentWednesdays: 1 - 3 pmThursdays: Minister’s writing dayFridays: Minister’s Sabbath

In addition, Dan is available by appointment Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and can be reached by email or cell phone at any time.

Town HallThere will a town

hall after the service on November 11. Topics will include finances and an update on what the Black Lives Matter Committee has been doing since we hung the banner in April 2016. They will also walk us through a congregation-wide activity to see where we think we are on an anti-racism continuum.

REmarks: Religious Education Update“A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…“

Our fourth Unitarian Universalist principle, “A free and responsible search for truth and meaning,” invites us to make sense out of the unfathomable, to come up with answers that make sense for each of us. This principle also leads us to our UU Sources, which include the wisdom of other faith traditions; what have they uncovered that we can learn from?

For me, the fourth principle is an example of the beauty and promise of our Unitarian Universalist faith. For when we delve into others’ beliefs and look past the distraction of ritual, we can see that we’re all exploring the same things. At the root of other faiths we find the same love and the same call to treat others kindly. We find ways for understanding the great cycle of Life and Death. We find the need for community. We find a belief in transformation: evil can turn to good; good can also turn to evil. We find that, ultimately, we are all grappling with the same everyday yet deep issues of humanity.

This year’s UU Jedi Academy program for our third through sixth grade classes makes a great entry-point into this kind of exploration. The class started by making “Force” bottles; physical reminders that we are in charge of what we think and what actions we choose. In reviewing the Star Wars movie, the students have been challenged to consider violence, and whether it is any better when used for the purpose of good than when it is used for evil.

They get to see how Darth Vader was once good and has good at his core still. They get to see that this evil character was someone’s father; by association, he was once someone’s innocent child. This brings us face to face with our first UU principle: does even Darth Vader have inherent worth? Exploration like this is one of the ways we weave the tapestry of our faith.

Path to Membership Newcomer Orientation

Sessions This FallIt is exciting to see many new

faces in our midst and to hear of their interest in our Unitarian Universalist message.

All visitors and friends are invited Sunday, November 4 and Sunday, November 18, to join Rev. Dan, Cindy Heck, Sarah Hyson and Marie Steel, Membership Chair, for our Path to Membership fall orientation sessions. The sessions will be held in our Religious Education lower level room 4 following services from 11:45 am to 1:00 pm.

The first session includes a DVD about who Unitarians are plus a discussion with Rev Dan. The second session delves into who we are at UCWC, including how we operate, what our goals are, and what we do for the wider community. Light refreshments will be provided. Childcare for the sessions is offered by RSVP to email: membership.

For those who wish to become a member of our congregation and have a vote at all congregational meetings, we will have a special Signing Sunday during services on December 2 and again in the spring. At that time, new members receive a small gift as they sign our Membership Book, which dates to our beginning in 1954.

GET OUT

Free Will Donations Accepted

Defenders of DemocracyThe Defenders of Democracy group has been involved with registering

voters and encouraging folks to learn about candidates, issues, and legislation. We will also work on election day to encourage voting.

The group is growing so much that we’ve nearly run out of enough chairs for us all in the lower floor of our building. That’s a good problem to have! Don’t worry, we’ll find a chair for any who join us.

We partnered with NextGen America to encourage students at West Chester University to register to vote and registered about 30 students in the afternoon. Some of us are very involved with the League of Women Voters and their events. Visit their web site, www.vote411.org for a nonpartisan guide to candidates. The league has delivered this information to voters for many decades and this is a trusted source of information.

Several of us — some as volunteers — attended the Candidates Forums at Saint Paul’s Baptist Church in West Chester. It was most informative and

well run. Saint Paul’s is coordinating a “Get Out the Vote” effort on election day in which DoD members are participating. To join us, please email stpaulswc@aol.com to volunteer.

Most important of all, be sure to vote and invite those you see at work and in your travels on election day to make time to vote, too. Sometimes just that “shoulder tap” is what encourages a person to get to the polls.

Black Lives MatterThe Black Lives Matter Committee

film series continues with Get Out on November 4 at 7 pm in the sanctuary. All are invited to attend. A good will donation will be gratefully accepted. Next will be the 1961 film A Raisin in the Sun on Sunday, December 2. Click here for the flyer..

We are considering hosting discussions of the next UU Common Read for 2018-19, Justice on Earth. More details will follow.

The Committee invites anyone interested to the NAACP Freedom Fund Luncheon themed “Defeat Hate! Vote!” on November 3 at Milestone Events in West Chester. For ticket orders ($50 pp donation), please contact email: black-lives-matter by October 22.

First Sunday Food Collection

This Month’s Suggested Items: Dried BeansOur monthly collection for the West

Chester Food Cupboard is Sunday, November 4. Look for the white collection basket in the lobby or the coat closet.

In addition to the suggest-ed items above, other non-perishable foods, personal care items, and household items are welcome—just be sure that items have not passed their expiration date.

Another important way to support The Food Cupboard is to put a check in the collection basket. This gives the Food Cupboard the flexibility to purchase items in short supply and to take advantage of sales. Make your check payable to “UCWC” and write “WC Food Cupboard” in the memo.

The West Chester Food Cupboard is a 100% volunteer organization, so you know that 100% of your contribution will go to fighting food insecurity. The Food Cupboard helps people right here, right now, because, “No one should go hungry.”

Contact Steve Sander, email: food-cupboard.

Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to The

Great Outdoors by Finney, CarolynAn environmental science professor

examines the interactions that African Americans have with the “great outdoors” in terms of access and engagement. She uses the fields of cultural studies, critical race studies, geography, and environmental history to discuss the confluence of race and the environment and to highlight advances for the future.

Our leader will be Fred Frayer. Contact Debby Kern, email: diversity-book-group.

Unitarian Universalist Service Committee

It is time for our Guest at Your Table kickoff in November, when we all focus on setting aside financial donations for UUSC projects. The theme this year is Justice Across Borders.

Guest at Your Table is UUSC’s annual intergenerational program to raise support for and awareness about key human rights issues. Since UUSC works in over 25 countries, with over 75 grassroots partners, there are thousands of individuals involved in and who benefit from the work that our members make possible. The program is an opportunity to celebrate grassroots partnership, support human rights, and learn about just four of these individuals — the “guests” in Guest at Your Table. For more information about the program, contact Charlot Barker at email: UUSC.

Did you know that UUSC offers an Inno-vation Grant each year? The UUSC Human Rights Innovation Fellowship is a one-year $25,000 grant, awarded to a non-profit, non-governmental organization, designed to bring about systemic change by creat-ing, nurturing, or spreading an innovation in human rights. Learn more about this im-portant and practical work as you consider your yearly donation to UUSC and help.

Share-the-Plate GenerosityThe Social Justice Committee’s Share-the-Plate program

raises money to give to local non-profit organizations which are trying to improve life for Chester County residents. We are pleased to announce the share-the-plate recipient for November 18 (third Sunday of the month), Baby Food Fund.

Baby Food Fund, founded by Nate Hyson, son of congregation members Sarah and Chris Hyson, addresses the needs of those least able to help themselves. At age six, Nate saw that need and started his charity with thirty dollars he collected from friends and family. Now he has delivered more than one thousand, five hundred pounds of baby food to the Chester County Food Bank, which then distributes the food to area food cupboards and shelters.

Nate hopes to expand his charity to someday serve all of Pennsylvania, then the US, then the world, and eventually to branch out to providing for other needs, such as diapers and clothing. We are thankful for this congregation, whose generosity from the beginning has been largely responsible for Baby Food Fund’s success.

Share the Plate works as follows:

• All cash in Sunday’s collection will be split 50/50 with the recipient of the month — in this case, Baby Food Fund.

• Make all your checks payable to UCWC.

• Checks with the memo “plate” or “donation” or “STP” or “Share the Plate”, will be split 50/50 between UCWC and the recipient of the month.

• Checks with the memo “All to Charity” or even better, “All to Baby Food Fund,” will go 100% to that recipient and none to UCWC.

• All other checks will go to 100% to UCWC, unless otherwise indicated.

Thank you for your generosity to July/August recipient, The Melton Center, in the amount of $740.

Good News after the Concert Across AmericaOn September 22 we and Wellsprings

UU hosted a concert in our sanctuary, like 50 other concerts in 26 states across the country calling for gun violence prevention. Our great musical acts included Rev. Dan, Who Needs Nigel? and the Wellsprings House Band. Speakers included:• Three eloquent stu-

dents from local high schools, who told about what it is like being in school today, with lock down drills and dread about a Parkland hap-pening at their school. One of the stu-dent speakers had previously attended Marjorie Stoneman Douglass High School and was friends with one of the shooting victims.

• Michelle Roberson, whose daughter, Bianca Roberson, was killed in an awful road rage incident nearby last summer. Michelle spoke movingly about her daughter and her new activism. She displayed great courage in her grief and has become a force for gun safety and anti-racism.

• Pennsylvania State Rep. Carolyn Comitta, who announced that she was introducing Bianca’s Bill into the House.It will ban having a loaded gun in a vehicle.Our call to action at the concert was

to lobby state representatives to vote for the Domestic Violence Gun Bill, HB2060. Three days later, it passed the House. A few weeks later it also passed in the Senate and now awaits Governor Wolf’s signature.

This bill will take guns out of the hands of domestic abusers within 24 hours of a Protection from Abuse order. The guns must be given to the authorities, not to a relative. It will save lives. In this very difficult political environment, it is gratifying to see that bipartisan compromise can still happen, especially with the issue of gun violence prevention.

— Tom Buglio

Building Wizards TeamThe Building Team continues to work our way

through a list of projects to complete our building. In October, we started working with a local painting contractor, Jim Hudson and Sons, on the painting of the exterior of our building. An anonymous donor has come forward to cover the cost of this work.

Over a period of about three days, the painting crew stripped the paint off the antique

columns and benches on our front porch and applied new paint. The transformation is amazing. If the

weather holds, we hope to be able to complete the building exterior before winter sets in. We have done a few other projects along the way, including some accent wall painting in the basement rooms.

Actors Needed: A UU Christmas Carol

In December one of our Sunday services will be a Unitarian Universalist Christmas Carol — a full production for the service.

We are looking for several actors and actresses to help with this very special and fun service. If you have any interest in taking

part, please contact Rev. Dan.

ChimesUCWC has recently purchased a two-

octave set of Schulmerich Melody Chimes. This set of 25 hand chimes will arrive mid-November. If you have experience ringing hand bells or chimes or are interested in learning more about the chimes, please contact Abby McGillivray at email:

intergen-choir.

Looking for Holiday Party HostsIn December the tradition at UCWC is to gather in each

other’s homes to celebrate the season with good cheer, good company, and good food.

The Fun & Fellowship Committee is looking for Hosts for these parties. Parties can be in the late afternoon or early evening on weekends—Friday parties should be in the eve-ning. Some folks like to bridge both day-light and evening by setting the time from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. This allows for daytime travel to an address. Parties can be sched-uled for any weekend in December, and even into January. The hosts provide the paper products, one finger food dish, and beverages (which can range from punch, iced tea, and soft drinks to beer and wine). Each attendee brings a finger food dish ranging from appetizers to desserts.

Please indicate whether it is a family party—children welcome— or adults only. Contact Susan Batchelor at email: fun to pick a date and time. We would like hosts and dates by November 18, so that it can be published in the December Fellowtarian. We already have a Game Night Holiday Party planned for Friday night, December 7, at UCWC.

These are Fun & Fellowship sponsored events, and all are welcome to attend. Help us ring in the season by scheduling a party at your home.
