Welcome
Welcome to the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta (Mid-Ohio Valley).
Please enjoy a time of gathering and greeting one another via Zoom
until the Welcome Slide appears and the Prelude begins, denoting the start of the service.
We ask that you mute yourselves (or we can help) to establish a reverent space and pause for the beginning of the service.
At the end of the service there are Announcements & a brief time to share Joys & Sorrows;
and then an additional open time of sharing and socializing.
Please be mindful that the service is also streamed Live to FaceBook,
and because of this, the time of Joys & Sorrows will not be included in public postings.

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food.
You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

Next Sunday Sept. 13 (11:00am) Positivity in this Pandemic
Meeting on Zoom Worship Leader: Rev. Kathryn Hawbaker
To some degree, a positive attitude can be cultivated regardless of the external circumstances.
Let’s focus on some of the positive lessons and experiences that will help to shape our future in positive ways. Do you hear the lead song from Monty Python’s Life of Brian?
Some relationships are suffering, and some are finding new expressions.
Sunday Mornings (9:30am) in the Parlor
The Today’s Issues group meets Sunday mornings (9:30am) in the Office/RE building following social distancing guidelines. The group discusses essays from the NY Review of Books.
Looking Ahead
FUUSM Adult Religious Exploration Open Study of Prayers
Monday, Sept. 14, 7-9pm on Zoom with Rev. Hawbaker
This new study is based on the Prayer & Poetry Service (8/23) and featured articles from the Summer 2020 UU World magazine. Access by using the Sunday Service Zoom Link.
Sun. Sept. 20 Ingathering Water Ceremony ~
In the Courtyard (9:30am & 10:15am & on Zoom (11am).
As all things are different and changing, this year’s annual Water Ceremony will refer to our traditions, and also happen in new ways. When there was a Sternwheel Festival, it made a strong connection to have it on the same weekend, and it marked our Ingathering -the beginning of the FUUSM Program Year (like the school year). This year we have scheduled the event at the time of the Autumnal Equinox, to reinforce our environmental work and education with an earth-based spiritual orientation.
You are invited to bring actual water for the ceremony into the courtyard, and send photos (for a slideshow) of your sacred waters from this year or previous years. Please send photos to Rev. Kat Hawbaker by Sun. Sept. 13 and include your name and the name of the place or body of water.
Sun. Sept. 27 (11am) Fall Congregational Meeting (Zoom & Sanctuary)
Your input and vote is important to address future plans and the proposed budget. Agenda & Proposed Budget will be shared by email.
*Please respond to the Survey from the Board (Ted Goertzel) to share your feedback and help with our planning.
