WORSHIP SERVICES: A PEOPLE
Sunday, April 3rd, 2016—9:15 & 11:00 a.m.
OF
CREATION
―Creation Continues:
A Multigenerational Service‖
The Rev. Suzelle Lynch and Maria O’Connor, Director of Religious Education
April begins our new monthly Soul Matters theme of Creation! Join us for this creative multigenerational
service in which we explore an old creation myth in a new way. Through stories, songs, and activities,
people of all ages will discover the ongoing creative power within ourselves and create something wonderful
together in community. No religious education sessions. Nursery care is available for infants and toddlers.
Sunday, April 10th, 2016—9:15 & 11:00 a.m.
―What’s it Good For?‖
The Rev. Suzelle Lynch
Transcending traditional rules, patterns, and such. Producing novel, meaningful forms, methods,
interpretations. Being flexible and nonconformist in attitude or behavior. Huh? What? Oh! It’s Creativity!
Creativity: Does it have anything to do with spirituality or religion? Do you have it? What’s it good for?
All this, plus delightful music from the UUCW Adult Choir today! Special event, please note: We’ll bless our
Black Lives Matter Banner as a community of all ages at both services today, and will conduct a short public
witness with the banner and signs after each service!
Sunday, April 17th, 2016—9:15 & 11:00 a.m.
―Earth Day: Love the Earth!‖
The Rev. Suzelle Lynch
Global climate change is a reality. There have been unbelievably large changes in very fundamental
elements of our beautiful blue planet in a very, very short time—like the melting of polar ice. These changes
come with real consequences, yet most of us live on in the same way we always have. The Earth is telling
us it is time to turn around. Religious communities are crucial in that turning, because we are committed to
something other than the world of the producing-and-consuming marketplace. We are committed to love.
Today we love the earth, we celebrate the earth, and plot the next steps on our path. Today’s services
include an evocative dance performance, and there will be Earth Ministry Earth Day activities after the
services.
Sunday, April 24th, 2016—9:15 & 11:00 a.m.
―Tending the Spirit‖
The Rev. Joyce Palmer
We will explore practices for tending the spirit, beginning with contemplating the stars and our place in the
universe. Come hear a surprising reading from the TV Show "Animaniacs,” which contains a description of
an entire theology. Bring your wonderings about the care and nurture of your spirit. Music today from Jen
Nicolosi, Lead Music Director.

That’s our Soul Matters theme for this month of April. Creativity—the process of
creation—is important to me not only in my “regular life,” but also in my inner life. It’s core
theology for me.
I believe that all of us have a spark of creative spirit—a “divine spark.” I believe that it’s
present in all living beings, all living processes, and that all of these sparks add up to a
greater wholeness, a larger creativity which sustains and transforms us, even as we
sustain and transform it as well.
My personal theology was shaped by the ideas of Henry Nelson Wieman, a 20 th century
Unitarian theologian who wrote: "What we all want more than anything else in the world is
for our lives to have some genuine significance—to be part of something greater than
ourselves...” He devoted most of his life to answering the question: "What operates in
human life with such character and power that it will transform man as he cannot
transform himself, saving him from evil and leading him to the best that human life can
ever reach?" Wieman’s answer to this question was god, but not god as a noun, a person,
a Creator, or any other kind of discrete, all-powerful, omniscient god-entity. For Wieman,
God occurred. God happened. God rose up, sparked up, splashed out, emerged,
manifested, grew, in relationships; relationships involving human beings. “God,” he said,
“is the integrating process at work in the universe.” He said, “God is the growth which
springs anew when old forms perish."
Wieman was not exactly a theist, nor was he a humanist (though he did sign the second
Humanist Manifesto, a 1973 revision of the statement of humanist thought created in
1933). He was a process theologian, whose ideas were seasoned with panentheism,
which says that god interpenetrates everything, or that everything participates in god.
Process theology affirms that god and the world are interdependent. God is not an
exception to our human understanding of reality; it both shapes and reflects the nature of
reality. Because process theology believes that good theology is based in our lived
experience, it affirms these things:

Reality is dynamic and interdependent.
The world is composed of living, experiencing entities. The universe is lively and
enchanted, not mechanistic and insentient. And the world is interconnected—a giant
ecosystem in which what harms or blesses one harms or blesses all.
Non-human creatures are valuable and deserve ethical consideration apart from our
use of them.
Mind, body, and spirit are intricately connected and shape one another.
The future is open-ended and will emerge in part as result of human decisions.
We are in constant dialogue with god, giving and taking, in a dynamic, co-creative web
of call and response.
In process theology, god’s main power is love, not coercion.
I’m curious how these ideas strike you! If they feel familiar and comfortable, how does
your life reflect them? If they are new and strange, what about them is different from your
own beliefs? Is Wieman’s use of the word god off-putting? And in the meantime, I look
forward to exploring Creativity and Creation with you this month!
With abiding affection,
Suzelle

Jody: We invest physical and
psychological energy into attending services at UUCW and
we have gotten increasingly involved over time with our
children’s religious education. We also take time to reflect
on whether we are engaging in UUCW to the degree that
we need to in order to grow spiritually.
Eric: We believe in Involvement, it begets community,

Endowment Grants
Awarded
Implementing racial justice,
LGBTQ Youth Ministry, and
beefing up the UU
Maintenance Reserve Fund—
these are the themes of the
three successful grant
proposals which will be funded
this year by the UUCW
Endowment Fund Committee.
The Social Action Council's
grant, called “Implementing
Racial Justice Initiatives,” will
be used to pay expenses for a
wide variety of speakers and
educational programs,
including: America's racial
history, Standing On The Side
of Love, Unlearning Racism, a
Wisconsin prison system
workshop collaborating with
WISDOM, and facilitated UUA
justice-themed programs.
A “Ministry With LGBTQ
Youth” grant will help launch a
ministry program of outreach
and support to LGBTQ youth
(and their parents) in the west
suburban region of Milwaukee,
with programming located at
UUCW. Collaboration is also at
the heart of this grant initiative.
The final successful grant
proposal, a Board of Trustees
request for $30,000 to bolster
the UUCW 'Maintenance
Reserve Fund,' will push our
total Maintenance Reserve
Fund balance over $100,000
for the first time. The
overarching goal of this grant
is to provide greater financial
sustainability for future UUCW
needs.
For more information, contact
David Brostrom via the church
office at [email protected] or
(262) 782-3535.
Holistic Study/Build 2020 Feedback Sought!
Since September 2015, the Holistic Study has been underway
to analyze and improve the usage of UUCW’s building and
land to serve the mission and ministries of the congregation.
The Holistic Study began with the work of UUCW’s Vision
2020 long-range plan. Vision 2020 starts with the assumption
that there is a need for greater accessibility in the church building and land to meet the
needs of all members of the UUCW community. The
church worked with Workshop Architects to conduct the
study and develop recommendations. The architects
toured the facility and met with church staff, committees,
and the Board. The congregation was surveyed and a
broadly-representational group of 30 was also invited to
participate in developmental workshops.
The Holistic Study’s recommendations include: improved
accessibility, a welcoming environment, consolidated
storage, staff collaboration, environmental sustainability, improved flow between the
two floors, reconfigurable multi-use spaces, and addressing
many deferred maintenance items.
The Holistic Study/Build 2020 presentation is available on
UUCW’s website. The Board of Trustees notes that the
recommendations are not a final plan; congregational feedback
is being sought and it is hoped that the plan will be finalized in
Spring 2017. Members are asked to go to the website and
review the Holistic Study/Build 2020 recommendations and
offer their thoughts via a brief online survey by April 10th.
(Paper copies of the survey are available in the east foyer.)
As Board member Joe Lange noted at the March 20th presentation, “Now we share
and listen, remembering our love for UUCW and our desire to honor our differences.”
For more information, contact [email protected].
Getting to Know UU
“Getting to Know UU” is a monthly opportunity for newcomers
to speak with Membership Committee members and the
Assistant Minister. The next session is April 3rd after each
service. It's an informal conversation for anyone interested in
learning just a little more about UUCW. Grab a cup of coffee in
the Community Room, then make your way to the Welcoming
Table in the foyer. We'll head up to classroom UL3 to chat and
try to answer any questions you might have.
Summer Music Opportunity
The UUUkuleles will be re-convening this summer! The group will perform one Sunday
at the end of June and one Sunday at the end of August. All skill-levels are welcome to
join us. Rehearsal dates and times will be announced. If you are interested in joining
the group or if you would like more information, please contact Jennifer Nicolosi, Lead
Music Director, via the church office at [email protected] or (262) 782-3535.

FELLOWSHIP AND LEARNING
DUUversity: Meaningful
Theatrical Experiences with
Friends
Dobby the Free Elf Fair Trade Chocolate Bar
Sale
DUUversity is a group of UUCW members and
friends who support diversity in the Milwaukee
community by attending plays and other
productions that feature different cultural groups
as either the theme of the work or as the
performers. Following the performance, all those
who are interested can get together for
refreshments and stimulating conversation
about the performance and its meaning for us
as individuals and as members of the greater
Milwaukee community.
Hogwarts UU religious education students
in grades 3-5 consider the plight of the
House Elves in the Harry Potter series and
learn how promoting fair trade products
can help fight the horcrux of forced labor in
several commercial industries, including cocoa farming. To do their
part in working to create a free and equal society, the students are
hosting a Fair Trade Chocolate Bar Sale, with proceeds being donated to our UUCW Nicaragua Brigades.
The next DUUversity event is on April 3rd,
2016 at 2:00 p.m. The group will see “Censored
on Final Approach” at the Broadway Theatre
Center (158 N. Broadway in Milwaukee). During
World War II, an elite group of female pilots
became pioneers, heroes, and role models. But
they struggled daily with sexual harassment,
discrimination, and sabotage. Based on real
incidents, the play tells the story of four of these
young women, and the cost of their commitment
and patriotism.
You’re invited to join for one or all of the
performances. It’s a great way to get to know
UUCW members and friends while enjoying
meaningful theatrical experiences. Although
everyone purchases his or her own tickets,
you’re encouraged let Ken Luepke know if you
are planning to attend. He will facilitate group
seating, carpooling, and restaurant reservations.
Contact Ken via the church office at
[email protected] or (262) 782-3535.
Experience Community Through
Drumming
This new drumming affinity group meets on the
third Fridays of the month, 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.,
beginning April 15th.
Gather in community to play with child-like
wonder, enjoy with delight, and benefit from our
togetherness and the rhythm of the drum. Bring
your own drum and rhythm instruments—we
will have extras available to share. Meet in the
UUCW lobby. For more information, contact
Tom Kotlarek via the church office at
[email protected] or (262) 782-3535.
Sunday, April 10th, after both services
Each 3.5 oz, fairly-traded, organic dark chocolate bar will be sold for
$3. Come with your cash or checks made out to UUCW!
For more information, contact Maria O’Connor, UUCW Director of
Religious Education via the church office at [email protected].
Technology Support for Families
As parents, it can be challenging to navigate the
current technology and social media trends for our
children and teens. We want to use technology but
also want to keep content safe and age-appropriate.
The quickly changing and evolving e-world can
overwhelm parents trying to make the best decisions
for their families.
Join the Lay Pastoral Care Team on April 17th after both services
as we provide information, answer questions, and share helpful
resources about internet security for families.
The UUCW Lay Pastoral Care Team can be reached
at [email protected] or (262) 782-3535. On Sundays, you can also
complete a Sharing Card for Rev. Suzelle Lynch or Rev. Joyce
Palmer. Our team of trained caregivers provides a compassionate,
listening ear. All inquiries are handled confidentially.
Monthly Rotation: Garden Tools
The joy of sharing, recycling, and de-cluttering is
expressed during Earth Ministry’s monthly rotation.
April 3rd the rotation will feature garden tools.
Perhaps you have an extra spade, rake, or hoe just
standing or leaning in your garage and not being used. Let's see what
you no longer need for the care of your garden.
Bring unwanted tools to the Community Room before each service
and browse through items brought by others after each service. You
don't have to bring a garden tool to take one.
For more information, contact Helen Klimowicz via the church office

Black Lives Matter Banner Blessing
and Public Witness on April 10th
In keeping with our congregational vote in
January to support of the Black Lives
Matter movement publicly, the Social Action Council will dedicate a large Black Lives
Matter banner with the help of representatives of local area UU congregations during
both worship services on April 10th. A brief public witness will take place after
each service. As we have done with past issues, such as peace witness, volunteers
will stand along North Avenue during coffee hour and hold the banner and other Black
Lives Matter signs to testify to our commitment to educate ourselves on the issues
and our work for racial justice. The banner will be hung on the building later Sunday
afternoon, and will remain hanging for as long as our City of Brookfield permit allows.
UUCW Supports Dontre Day
Saturday, April 30th, Noon – 8:00 p.m.
at Red Arrow Park in Milwaukee
Church members will attend this second anniversary of the
death of Dontre Hamilton, an unarmed black man, shot and
killed by a Milwaukee police officer at Red Arrow Park. This
family-friendly event, sponsored by the Coalition for Justice, will start at Noon with a
march from a downtown site to be determined, to the park. The march will be followed
by food, entertainment, and speakers. To show support for the Coalition of Justice,
local UU churches will be sponsoring a family friendly activity (possibly a bubbleblowing station or a hat making activity). UUCW members and friends willing to
volunteer are needed, but all are encouraged to join in the festivities at some point
during the day.
