Allison Palm We gather this morning on the brink of a new congregational year, Some of us come fresh from summer adventures, From wind and waves and sunshine. Some of us come broken down from summer losses, From tears and pain and heartache. Some of us come renewed from summer rest, From peace and solitude and contemplation. Some of us come wearied from summer monotony, From work and heat and sameness. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever gifts and needs you bring, You are welcome here Opening Hymn #361 Enter, Rejoice, & Come In Words & Music by Louise Ruspini Enter, rejoice, and come in. Enter, rejoice, and come in. Today will be a joyful day; Enter, rejoice, and come in. Open your ears to the song. Open your ears to the song. Today will be a joyful day; Enter, rejoice, and come in. Open your hearts ev'ry one. Open your hearts ev'ry one. Today will be a joyful day; Enter, rejoice, and come in. Don't be afraid of some change. Don't be afraid of some change. Today will be a joyful day; Enter, rejoice, and come in. Reading 1 "Prayer for an Invitation" Poem by David Whyte I pray for you, world to come and find me, to see me and recognize me and beckon me out, to call me even when I lose the ability to call on you who have searched so long for me. I pray to understand the stranger inside me who will emerge in the end to take your gift. I pray for the world to find me in its own wise way. I pray to be wanted and needed by those I have learned to love and those I must learn to love. I pray to be wanted and needed by those I cannot recognize in my self-imposed aloneness. And I pray to be wanted and needed by those I wish to be wanted by. But I acknowledge the power of your beautiful disguise, and I ask for the patient heart of all things to understand the abiding fear I feel in following your unknown ways, in my fear of receiving, in my fear of taking your hand, in my fear of following your hidden, difficult and forever beckoning way Welcoming Visitors and Joys & Concerns Musical Response Reading 2 Reflection on Mary Oliver's poem: Invitation by Fay Adams There is an urgency in this poem. Mary begs us not to miss out on what is offered up to us. She says that especially here, especially now, especially when much of what we see and hear about is brokenness, we must not forget the feast that is offered up to us already. Simply by virtue of our being alive and being in the magnificent company of Life's abundance it is offered ... This could be the moment of revolution. Albeit a quiet and personal one. Here is the question I will take with me from this poem: even in my 'busy and very important day' (which every day needs to be!), can I let the wonders of Life change me? Invitation Poem by Mary Oliver Oh do you have time to linger for just a little while out of your busy and very important day for the goldfinches that have gathered in a field of thistles for a musical battle, to see who can sing the highest note, or the lowest, or the most expresive of mirth, or the most tender? Their strong, blunt beaks drink the air as they strive melodiously not for your sake and not for mine And not for the sake of winning but for the sheer delight and gratitude-- believe us, they say, it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world. I beg of you, do not walk by without pausing to attend to this rather ridiculous performance. It could mean something. It could mean everything. It could be what Rilke meant, when he wrote: You must change your life . Offering Original Composition by Mary Bopp Sermon Closing Hymn #188 "Come, Come, Whoever You Are" Words adapted from Rumi Music by Lynn Adair Unger Come, come, whoever you are, Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving. Ours is no caravan of despair. Come, yet again, come. Extinguishing the Chalice "A First Step Faith" by Rev. Scott Tayler Go with faith, not the kind that is called to move mountains, but the quieter sort that calls us to take the first step even when the whole staircase sits beyond our view. And as we move toward the unseen may we notice that the way unfolds only as we risk traveling it that on this journey we are never alone. Amen Closing Circle May faith in the spirit of life And hope for the community of Earth And love of the light in each other Be ours now, and in all the days to come.

Josh Pawelek Annual Appeal | UUSE 2024-25 Annual Appeal "Gratitude makes sense of our past; brings peace for today; and creates a vision for tomorrow." (Melody Beattie on BrainyQuote.com) Dear Members and Friends, This year the theme for our Annual Appeal is “Gratitude for Our Community”. Each of us has our own reasons for the deep gratitude we feel for UUSE. We have many shared memories of challenges and blessings. Here are some highlights of things we are grateful for this year: ​ First, and most important, is our gratitude to our volunteers who do so much for this church. Their dedication, their creative ideas, their service to other members, their spirit of hope and their commitment to a better life for all. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our community, and we are deeply grateful. Our donors rallied to the cause when the Buildings and Grounds team presented their assessment on our aging property! They increased their pledges significantly so that we can build a Building Reserve fund to cover the repair and replacement costs. We found a wonderful person to fill our CYM director position. Emmy Galbraith brings a warm, kind, and wise leadership to our children’s ministry. With the combined efforts of NLDC and the Finance community, we partitioned the Finance chair into three positions: Finance Chair, Treasurer, and a part-time, paid bookkeeper. Some highlights of our preliminary financial budget for Fiscal Year 24-25 include: COLA increases and a few adjustments for staff salaries and benefits, the cost for the new bookkeeper, our commitment to building up the reserve fund for our building and grounds, a reduction in our UUA dues to 90% of the UUA request (to assist in achieving a balanced budget), our youth affirmation budget which occurs every other year, and our ongoing commitments to community outreach. Your donations keep the spirit of our church alive and well. They are much appreciated and will be used well. ​ Please complete your pledge form (and EFT if you chose that option) and mail to the church office or give to your steward by March 31st. As always, we are deeply grateful for your generous giving. We are all stewards of Unitarian Universalist Society East. If you have any questions, you can contact any one of us on the Stewardship Committee. For your current pledge amount, please contact the church office at 860-646-5151. ​ Yours in spirit, Patricia Wildes, Louisa Graver, Jean Knapp, Larry Lunden, Stan McMillen, Phil Sawyer How Much?
