Living Multigenerationally into a New Tomorrow
Rev. Dr. Craig Rubano & Michelle McKenzie-Creech, CDFM
On this Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, as we inaugurate new leadership around this country of ours, we pause to reflect on the stories we tell about our country, our congregation, and ourselves. We have the power, singly and collectively, to live into multigenerational, diverse Beloved Community, by telling a new story for a new tomorrow. And we welcome our new Music Director, Michael Rosin!
Music: Elaine Held, Music Director Emerita; Michael Rosin, New Music Director; UU Singers, UkUlele Orchestra
There will be a potluck dinner Monday, January 20th, at 6:30 PM in the Community Room.

My “why” – Justice for Kids through Education
Ashley Fabien – Director of Education, Dr. Lorenzo Harris Jr. Early Childhood Learning Center
In “Justice for Kids Through Education,” I will share how our new Montessori school aims to empower underserved children by providing essential resources and a high-quality education. Through wraparound services like meals, clothing, and scholarships, we strive to create generational opportunities and bring the “village” back to our children.
Ashley Fabien, a career educator from Asbury Park, New Jersey, has worked across the country in various educational programs. With a bachelor’s and master’s degree, along with Montessori certification, she has returned home to establish a new school. See: https://interfaithneighbors.org/the-early-childhood-learning-center/

January Monthly Theme: The Practice of Story
I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Stories are told as spells for binding the world together.
When we deny our stories and disengage from tough emotions, they don’t go away; instead, they own us, they define us. Our job is not to deny the story, but to defy the ending.
storytelling is a way to give someone an experience they haven’t had yet, or maybe didn’t even know was possible.
Those without power risk everything to tell their story and must. Someone, somewhere will hear your story and decide to fight, to live and refuse compromise.
The question is not so much “What do I learn from stories?” as “What stories do I want to live?”
Humans don’t fight over territory and food; they fight over imaginary stories in their minds.
Remember, you don’t fear people whose stories you know.
