Children & Youth
November 6 – Children’s Worship Service (CWS)
Children & youth begin in the sanctuary, then dismiss
to the Rainbow Room for our monthly 1st Sunday Children’s Worship Service (CWS). This Sunday, RE Chair
Liz Weaver introduces the monthly congregational
theme of awareness. In combination with this year's 7th
principle nature connection program in elementary classes, the CWS will include fun sensory activities about
"Awareness in Nature.” Children's Music Leader Chris
Hayden will lead theme-related songs. Youth in grades
6-12 are encouraged to sign up for leadership roles by
contacting Morgan. ONE Service at 11 am.
Reverend Alison Eskildsen with the
Chalice Choir.
Worship begins with everyone in the sanctuary for the
first 20 minutes or so as we share a welcome, light our
congregational chalice, sing a hymn, and experience a
storytelling or brief conversation. Children and teachers
are recessed from the sanctuary by congregational singing. Children and teachers go to their classrooms or to a
special children’s worship in the Fellowship Hall. Parents are welcome to accompany their children if they
wish.
Remaining adults hear a sermon, special music, sing,
meditate or pray, and share brief joys and sorrows within the community on most Sundays. For more on
UUFA’s worship services, visit the Spiritual Arts page
at www.uuathensga.org.

End of Live Decision Making
with Dr.Toni Miles
November 20 – All-Ages Worship Service There are
no religious education classes during All-Ages Worship
Services, but childcare is available as needed. There
will be opportunities for children and youth to participate in the worship service. Please let Morgan know if
your child would like a role.
Many caregivers find themselves in the position of being
asked to act as a surrogate decision maker. How do they
feel about this role in the lives of persons under their
care? Since July of this year, we have interviewed more
than 30 residents, families and staff in nursing homes.
Each speaker gives an eyewitness account of the experience with their loved one's dying process. Under these
circumstances, caregivers express an unmet need for bereavement care for themselves. I have learned a lot from
this frank and open discussion of palliative care, Advanced Directives and the Physicians Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST).

Lay Minister for Spiritual Arts at [email protected].   
Below are some suggested prompts for writing on the November theme of “Reconstruction.”  Everyone is welcome. 
Choose one or more of the following or make up your own
assignment:
1.     List all the possible meanings of “reconstruction” that
you can think of. Choose one and define it by using examples from your own or someone else’s life.
2.     Does destruction necessarily precede reconstruction?
Why or why not?
3.     What in your life needs to be reconstructed? What do
you need to let go of in order for that to happen? Explain.
4.     Is “reconstruction” the same as “transformation”?
Why or why not? See the excerpt from Brenda Miller’s
essay (Email Myrna for a copy.) for inspiration.
6.     If you could reconstruct some aspect of “western
civilization” what would that be? Why? How?
8.     Nature is of dual nature (pun intended). It both destroys and, having
destroyed, reconstructs. Describe an
example of this dual nature in your own
life, either of your own nature or of
Mother Nature. For inspiration, email
Myrna for a copy of Randy Minnich’s
“Acorns."
There are three inspirational pieces for

Music Ministry
Putting it Together 
Sometimes we have to take things apart to put them together.  Whenever the drum circle or choir begins learning a challenging piece of music, we break it down into
smaller, more manageable pieces. By dismantling something that seems so difficult and overwhelming, we can
begin to understand it, appreciate it, and finally make
music!
There are many ways to experience music at UUFA -and
beyond- this month.  Come hear our choir and other musicians at the 2016 Justice Fest on Saturday, Nov. 5th at
UUFA.  Hear Crystal's recital on Tuesday, November
15th, 3:30-4:30  at the Hugh Hodgson School of Music
(Ramsey Concert Hall).  Come drum with drummers
from the Athens community on Friday, Nov. 18th at
5:30pm in front of the Athens Library.  Take part in
an Interfaith Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, November 20th at 4:30 pm at First Baptist Church.  Come join
in the fun!

Peggy & Bill Horton
Congratulations to Peggy and Bill Horton, our November volunteers being recognized in the
Volunteer Recognition Team's Spotlight Series.
Peggy and Bill Horton's volunteering reaches beyond the walls of the Fellowship.
The guests of both Our Daily Bread and the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Athens have benefited from the Hortons' friendly assistance.
In addition to Peggy's scheduling ODB volunteers for several years, the couple has
also served the third Friday lunches. And they can often be found welcoming IHNA
guests to the organization's Hancock Ave. location on Sunday afternoons.

Recent Deaths in the UUFA family
Alex J. Bergins Alex passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2016 around 2 pm. There will be a jazz concert and refreshments on a weekend afternoon sometime in the near future.
Laura Conroy With great sadness, please note that Laura Conroy died recently. Laura was a child of the Fellowship
who once assisted in the Nursery. An instructor at Canopy Trapeze Studio, Laura spearheaded a program to bring in
and teach scholarship-funded classes to members of our Spanish-speaking community. It is requested that instead of
flowers, financial contributions be made to The Laura Conroy Memorial Fund to help Canopy carry on Laura's mission, and make this program the success she envisioned. The Conroy family shares that Laura's suicide was not premeditated, but the result of a rash impulse brought on because of a sudden, destabilizing hypoglycemic condition.
Canopy Studio will host a community celebration to remember the life of Laura on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 2 pm.

UUFA Theme for November, Reconstruction
Reconstruction for us here at UUFA may soon have particular significance in respect to our ongoing plans and
actions toward changing our building. Our reconstruction era will center around making changes that will allow for growth both in numbers and in diversity. Diversity in our programs, our outreach, our involvement in
the greater community and the welcoming of our greater
community to our reconstructed physical structure. We
have a lot to look forward to. During this time we will
continue to celebrate our diverse backgrounds, enjoy our
similarities, value all life, strive for justice and equality,
search for truth, be supportive of each other’s growth and
remain cohesive within our beloved community.
On a larger scale, during this month of November our
nation may take steps toward reconstruction. The election will be decided and regardless of who serves as our
President, we as a nation have a lot of reconstruction
work ahead. Following a particularly divisive election
process that has revealed the prevalence of intolerance,
racial prejudice and hatred, xenophobia, acceptance of
misogynistic attitudes, accepting without question the
radical statements that have been made and also the lack
of awareness of our democratic process, where do we go
from here?
I, personally have been shocked and saddened by the extent of hatred that has been expressed by such a large
number of our citizens. I’m certain that many others

have been also. These attitudes and this hatred have
been legitimized and intensified during the campaign.
I thought that we had made much greater progress in
our attitudes and acceptance. Is it better that we are
aware of the extent to which these feelings exist? It’s
time for reconstruction of our moral and ethical character. It’s time for national understanding and acceptance of others and the diversity that is such a part
of being American. Exactly how this comes about, I
have no idea. As an individual, I feel that I can’t do
much to make this happen. I can, however, strive to
be accepting, understanding, kind, compassionate, and
work toward justice and equality in our community.
As UUs living our seven principles, we are already
active in these regards. We can continue to reach out
into our greater community making connections,
demonstrating acceptance, and by supporting racial
justice and equality.

In Fellowship,

Wondering with AWE
A Follow-up on Racial Justice
One recent Sunday (October 23) I pressed the issue of
our Fellowship supporting greater racial equality. I put
that support in the context of Black Lives Matter
(BLM). Since then I have heard from a couple of members who are uncomfortable with supporting BLM because it includes some political aspects, as well as some
unwelcome elements resulting from the fact that it’s a
disorganized movement with no central authority to
control or set limits to actions taken in its name. That
means people can say or do things under BLM’s umbrella that are not condoned by its founders or all its
supporters. That creates problems for those of us who
support BLM’s broad goal of racial justice, but not
some of its follower’s methods. Because of these concerns, I regret implying that UUFA’s goal should be
unconditional support of BLM.
I endorse racial equality and I believe when black lives
matter, all lives will matter. And, I believe police lives
must matter, too. Like our own Athens-Clarke County
police chief, I want fewer guns available that put police
lives at risk. In focusing on BLM, I don’t want to imply
that blacks killing blacks doesn’t matter, either. I think
all this violence is tied up together and must end.
I continue to encourage UUFA to move towards greater
personal understanding of how white privilege impacts
all lives, how unconscious bias impacts all lives, and
how we may participate in systemic injustice. I continue
to encourage UUFA to adopt its own resolution of support for greater racial equality—separate from any specific support of BLM. For me, what’s important is not
BLM or hanging a banner. It’s about UUFA maturing in
its understanding of race matters, and bending our own
personal moral arcs towards greater justice. This work
isn’t easy or obvious, but it is vitally important spiritual
work because it requires deep self-examination. I appreciate that BLM has given racial justice the motivating

energy and visibility it desperately needs, even as I
reject some acts done in its
name.
I support and embrace all
members of this Fellowship, whether you want to
stand and protest on the
streets, write a letter to legislators, read a book, or engage in some other action. I
appreciate that even when we disagree, if we listen to
each other we learn from each other.
It is my hope and prayer that UUFA’s growing awareness of racial inequality is helping to bring about the
beloved community we desire. Love must guide me
and you as we explore what it truly means to affirm the
worth and dignity of all people.
I invite you to explore the UUA web pages (http://
www.uua.org/multiculturalism/black-lives-matter) that
might shed light on some of our denominational connections and actions around racial justice and with
Black Lives Matter movement. UUFA doesn’t need to
put up a banner to help bend the arc of justice towards
love. But let us continue to live out our Seven Principles in as many ways as we can.
