The Work of Grieving: A Service for All Souls
Rev. Dr. Craig Rubano

Our annual service and ceremony of honoring the souls of those lost to us during the past year. This year, we assemble a collection of photographs of the departed as, once again, we hear the litany of the departed. Please get names to Lisa by Friday, October 30th at the latest, and bring in photos of your loved ones, human and otherwise. In a month when our theme is healing, we gather to grieve, and to heal, together.

Touring the Five Great Lakes by Ship and Rail
Steve and Pat Miller

This past summer Steve and Pat saw a wide swath of the Midwest by sailing the five Great Lakes from Toronto to Chicago. They spent 9 nights on the ship, with port stops each day, and with hotel stays at each end. Transport to and from NJ was by train, and in a sleeper car on the way home. It was a fun, interesting, and environmentally friendly trip.

Steve and Pat Miller are Co-Chairs of UUCMC’s Climate Action Team. They also Co-Chair Electrification Committees in Sierra Club and Climate Reality Project and are founders and co-leaders of the NJ Electrification Coaching Network. They advocate for electrification of all home appliances, as well as EVs and solar energy.

The weekly service link is sent out via email each week. In addition, our weekly eblast that comes out on Thursday mornings has loads of information about UUCMC happenings. If you are not already on our email list, click the button in the footer to sign up. Our Facebook page (click here) is also updated as information unfolds.

We welcome you into our meetinghouse or you can join us in community from your homes.

September Theme: BEGINNINGS

You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

Martin Luther King Jr.

There is nothing more pathetic than caution, when headlong might save a life, even, possibly, your own.

Mary Oliver

Another world is not only possible, she’s on her way. Maybe many of us won’t be here to greet her, but on a quiet day, if I listen very carefully, I can hear her breathing.

Arundhati Roy

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Anais Nin

There is something deep in us that conspires with what wants to remain within safe boundaries and stay the same.

John O’Donohue

One can waste years this way, systematically postponing precisely the things one cares about the most.

Oliver Burkeman

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Adelaide Anne Procter

All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time.

Mitch Albom

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are.

John Pierpont “J.P.” Morgan

Let every moment be a reminder that you are more than the sum of your mistakes. A sunrise is still beautiful no matter how bad a day is. It’s allowed to start over. And so are you.
