    Rev. Nathan L. Stone: "Changing Us: Congregational Change" Someone once said that a single rider on a motorcycle can make a quick and easy U-turn. An 18-wheeler can also make a U-turn but it's a bit more difficult and takes longer. A congregation is not a motorcycle. Let's explore.

    Rev. Nathan L. Stone: "Changing It: Our Blue Boat Home" We could go over the cliff. You would hope not. You would hope that people see what needs to be done. It's not rocket science. It's not difficult. It's not even all that costly. It's actually about the way you think about the world. (Tim Flannery, Australian Environmentalist)

    David Schleicher, guest speaker: "Changing Laws: The Post-Modern First Amendment" - Depending on whom you believe, the Supreme Court recently breathed new life into the First Amendment or knocked the wind out of it. We'll take a non-partisan look at the prognosis for the source of our most fundamental American rights.

What's in store for March 2010

The Worship Team and the minister are experimenting this month with a thematic approach to worship. Appropriately enough, the chosen theme is "Change." Each Sunday's focus will center on some dimension of change.

Robert Flynn: If anyone still has the same ideas, perceptions of reality, same thoughts, same faith they had when they were 16, I consider that person dangerous.

Change is one of the signs of life. If something doesn't change it's usually dead.


Love is the doctrine of this Fellowship, the quest for truth is its sacrament and service is its prayer. To dwell together in peace, to seek knowledge in freedom, to serve others in community to the end that all souls shall grow into harmony with creation. Thus do we covenant with each other.

Building Our Future Together: The Vision Workshop

Saturday, March 20

UUWaco P.T. Barnum Fellowship Hall

Members and friends alike are invited to a

“Breakthrough Thinking Day” at the Fellowship!

Lunch 12 to 1 p.m.   |   Workshop – 1 to 5 p.m.

Reception at 5 p.m.

UUWaco's Board of Directors knows that it is time to review and assess who we are, what our purpose is, and imagine the possibilities as a religious organization. It is time for us to DREAM, folks!

It’s time to decide how we will “live out” our UUWaco principles and values. It’s time to plan on how we will demonstrate our principles -- what we stand for -- to those outside our doors. To do this, members and friends alike are asked to come together to develop a collective Vision that we all agree with and support. That is why our 3/20 Vision Workshop is the most important initial step of a three-step planning process.

Hogwart's Seeks Volunteers

UUWaco's Religious Education for children is beginning the planning stages of our second Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, A Magical Summer Camp for Children, presented by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Waco. All aspiring Witches and Wizards at UUWaco as well as all of Waco and surrounding areas are encouraged to register. Space is limited so only a limited number of applicants will be able to attend.

The camp will be filled with many fun and magical activities such as shopping for school supplies in Diagon Alley, daily Feasts, being Sorted into Houses, attending several different classes, Quidditch Matches, and even House Cup Awards.

The camp will be held at UUWaco at 4209 N. 27th Street, Waco, beginning Monday, June 14, through Thursday, June 17, 2010, from 5:30 P.M. – 8:30 P.M. each day.

If you are willing to volunteer to help with the camp, please let Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall, a.k.a. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , know. There is a wide variety of volunteer opportunities as there are many aspects to make this camp a success.

Grown-ups, kids give big at UUWaco

kidtrepreneurs2

The last three weeks have seen big generosity at UUWaco, from kids and adults alike. On Super Bowl Sunday, UUWaco continued its seven-year tradition of taking up a special offering to be donated to a local charity for the Souper Bowl of Caring. This year we added $355 in cash to our Cereal Sunday donation to Waco food bank Caritas, bringing our total donations (over the seven-year period) to more than $1,000.

Last week also saw UUWaco Treasurer Joe Ahlers making microloans to many of our younger members - each willing family received $20. The kids (with a little help from their parents) used ther money to purchase supplies for a Valentine's Day Bake Sale. With an outlay of $120, our younger congregants created beautiful treats ranging from the edible (sweet treats of every nature) to the

imbibable (hot cocoa and marshmallows) to the wearable (clay-and-bead heart charms), which were offered for sale before and after the Valentine's Day service.
