While it was expected for a very long time it still was sad for the family. Bonnie was home this week from work resting and just wanted the congregation to know. She is doing fine now and we will both see you next week. We will not be coming to service this Sunday. Thanks Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And thank you all those who couldn't make it but did sign a postcard (provided to us by Garden State Equality) last Sunday. Today I received a call from the person below asking me to look for and then send on this email.

We need volunteers to help us collect postcards either door-to-door or in busy places this weekend, the 9th and 10th of December. The postcards urge the legislators to pass marriage equality and oppose civil unions and will be hand-delivered to legislators after we collect them. We know that this is a really powerful way to sway legislators, and we really need of tons of volunteers to help us collect the cards. The more cards we collect, the more powerful the message.

Maj-Britt Johnson** * ?????????????????????????????????????????.. Meeting After the Service At our congregational meeting about priorities and resources held on September 24th, we collectively created a "wish list" of things that we wanted from our congregation. This was followed up by feedback that we received from the questionnaires we sent out, on what you perceived as our priorities and also on how much you were able to contribute. During the last month, your Board has been hard at work with the feedback that you gave us , and several priorities stood out above the rest. These are: Sunday services, growing our membership, providing financial stability, Children's Circle, social justice, adult programs, and having fun together. Several weeks ago the Board convened for an all day Board retreat, where we took a look at how we could structure the congregation in a way that would best allow us to serve our priorities with the resources that we have. We have scheduled a follow up meeting for all members and friends, after the service on December 10, at 11:30 am, for the whole Board to share with you the results. ___________________________________________________ *To the UUCP Congregation* : *Party!

This secret Santa program will be expanded this year and everyone is encouraged to bring a gift. *5.* We will have a "candle light" bistro with festive table settings, and even central space on the floor for dancing. *6.* Steve and Carol will be doing their home cooked special entrees, and everyone will be asked to chip in an hors d'oeuvre, or a salad or a desert. This buffet worked well last year *7.* The last request is for you to bring a bottle of wine along with your dish as a way to supplement the bar. * 8.* Remember, this is a fundraiser, last year we made over $800 dollars and we were hoping to make over $1000 this year. $35.00 per adult and $10 per Kid, extra donations are gratefully accepted, and encouraged. Hardships are also accepted. Your finance team: Sydelle Postman; Ron Hilliard; Saritha Clements; Lauren Hooker; and Bill Hoffman will be working hard on the set up and would love to get extra assistance and don't forget, we will be taking down after this Saturday night affair to prep for our next day Sunday service. Each committee member will be taking "advanced reservations" to get a handle on how many are coming plus Ron will be taking all friends and relations at the door. We still have almost three weeks to go, but time flies, so put this important Congregation Event on your calendars.

Roberta ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Robinson To: Peter Robinson Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 10:46 PM Subject: Remembering the Reverend Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley This was posted on the UUA website: Remembering the Reverend Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley Faith asks us to be open to life, to participate fully in life as it unfolds before us, even in the midst of uncertainty and turmoil." ?Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley, March 8, 2002 The Reverend Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley died on December 10, 2006, of cancer, and her death leaves a hole in the fabric of Unitarian Universalism that will not be easily mended. In her fifty-seven years of life, Bowens-Wheatley moved in circles of art, social policy, media, and ministry, providing resources, and, everywhere she went, asking the hard questions. She was born on August 6, 1949, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended Temple University. In 1979, while studying in media and public relations, she was offered the opportunity to work as a press attach? to the Ambassador from Grenada to the U.S. Returning from that assignment, she worked in public broadcasting and media, and received an M.A. in International Development, Visual Media and Public Relations from American University in 1982. In 1987 she received a World Hunger Media Award (Second Place, international category, television) for writing and production of "After the Rains," a documentary film about environmental degradation, its consequences, and U.S. policy in sub-Saharan Africa. She joined the staff of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee in 1986, serving as Director of Public Affairs. In 1988 she joined the staff of the North Shore Unitarian Universalist Veatch Program as a program officer, where she helped shape many Unitarian Universalist programs which influenced both secular social change organizations and the public voice and outreach initiatives of the UUA. She left Veatch in 1991 to enroll at Wesley Theological Seminary. In 1994, she received a M.Div. (Magna Cum Laude) from Wesley and was ordained in Washington, D.C., in December at her home congregation, All Souls Church Unitarian. That year Bowens-Wheatley became Affiliate, later Associate, Minister at the Community Church of New York City and also served as District Extension Minister for the Metro New York District and Field Consultant for the UUA Department of Faith in Action. In 1999 she accepted a position as Co-Interim Minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Austin Texas, where she served along with her husband, the Reverend Clyde Grubbs. In 2000, Bowens-Wheatley joined the UUA staff as Adult Programs Director in the Religious Education department. Judith Frediani, now Director of the Lifespan Faith Development staff group at the UUA said, " We are so grateful that Marjorie's unique religious journey brought her to Unitarian Universalism, and that for three years, our staff group was blessed with her extraordinary ministry. With passion and grace and soul, Marjorie lived Michah's call 'to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.' We can best honor her life and legacy by striving to do the same." In 2003, she accepted a call to the UU Church of Tampa, Florida, where she served through the summer of 2006. She had accepted a call in April, 2006, to serve as Minister for Social Justice and Community Life of First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, California, but withdrew because of illness. Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley's ministry shaped contemporary Unitarian Universalist Association programs and practices in significant ways. She was a founding member of the African American Unitarian Universalist Ministry (AAUUM); board member of the Unitarian Universalist Women's Federation (1991-93); and a member of the UUA Commission on Appraisal (1993-1999 and chair, 1996-1998). She served as co-editor, with Nancy Palmer Jones, of Soul Work: Antiracist Theologies in Dialogue (Skinner House Books, 2002); wrote the Adult Study and Process Guide to "Belonging: The Meaning of Membership" (UUA Commission on Appraisal report, 2001); co-authored "Interdependence: Renewing Congregational Polity" (UUA Commission on Appraisal report, 1997); and was a contributing author for Weaving the Fabric of Diversity, an anti-bias curriculum for adults, (UUA, 1996). She wrote "A Case for an Actual Racism 101," (Christian Science Monitor, 1988), and numerous articles in periodicals, including UU World, First Days Record, Inward Springs, the LREDA Journal, The UU Women's Federation Communicator, and others. UUA President William G. Sinkford said, " Marjorie has been a part of my ministry since I knew that I would become a minister. We met for the first time in 1991 at a gathering of the African American UU Ministry. She was in seminary at Wesley and I would start at Starr King the following year. We served on committees and commissions, teams and task forces, and shared work on the UUA staff. I preached for her congregation in Tampa and, just last week, had the privilege of visiting with her and saying goodbye. She has been friend, confidant, co-worker and so much more. Like so many others, my grief at her passing is deep. But I know that her gentle, competent and loving spirit will remain with us, helping to guide us in the years ahead." Bowens-Wheatley was featured in the article "Feminist Theology in the Unitarian Universalist Ministry" by Michelle Huneven (UUWorld, November/December 1998) and "A Whosoever Church: Welcoming Lesbians and Gay Men into African American Congregations" by Gary David Comstock (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press). Outside of UUA circles, Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley was a participant on the Mayor's Clergy Task Force on Racial Justice in Austin, Texas; and on the Partnership of Faith and the Interfaith Center of Greater New York. She served as an Advisory Committee member for the Black Church and Domestic Violence Project (a project of the Center for the prevention of Sexual and Domestic Violence). A lover of music, writing, and art, she had several writing projects in mind at the time of her death, and had noted, "A distant dream is to produce a cookbook featuring flat breads from around the world." Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley is survived by her husband, the Reverend Clyde Grubbs, who currently serves as Interim Minister of Throop Memorial Church in Pasadena, California and by her daughter, Talibah, a graduate student at Sarah Lawrence College. Her close friend, the Reverend Rosemary Bray McNatt, wrote, "My deep grief at the death of our sister Marjorie is more than personal: Our liberal religious movement has lost one of its most brilliant and passionate advocates for justice; a fierce, tender and loving mentor to ministers and religious professionals; a gifted religious educator, and a woman filled with God's spirit and grace. I will miss her every day of my life." Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley once wrote, "I am grateful for the many opportunities I have had to work within and know Unitarian Universalism, its greatness and its challenges." Countless individuals within Unitarian Universalism are also grateful?for the contributions and the ministry offered by Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley. Our lives are poorer for her passing, but our faith is immeasurably stronger for her life. A service celebrating Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley's life and ministry will be held at the Community Church of New York City, Unitarian Universalist, on December 30, 2006, at 2:00 p.m., Rev. Bruce Southworth and Rev. Rosemary Bray McNatt, co-officiants.
