Weekly Service: Sundays 10:30 AM

Sunday Service: October 25, 2015 Faith It to Make It Montana Steele This sermon will explore differing perceptions of faith in the UU tradition, and how we shape our religious identities around the meaning of faith, or a claim to non-faith. I am challenging you all this Sunday to be open to a shift in faith perception, and in claiming the action of faith as a significant part of the UU identity. Come, let us worship through asking the deep questions, and allowing the answers to manifest within.

FROM THE MINISTER

mUUsings Greetings from your interim minister. As the September chaos of coming together settles, the work and focus for the program year is unfolding. This month alone the congregation will host

Authoring Life’s Final Chapter – A workshop addressing family issues and dynamics, emotional and practical support for caregivers, end of life care, required legal documentation and traditional and alternative ceremonies to memorialize the deceased. Great Decisions Forum – A discussion program on world affairs exploring the most critical global issues facing America today. Beyond Categorical Thinking – a workshop designed to promote inclusive thinking and prevent unfair discrimination during the search for a settled minister. Exploring Horizon – Everything you ever wanted to know about Unitarian Universalism and Horizon (Okay, maybe not everything!), designed with those who are new to UUism and Horizon in mind. PASTA Fall Festival – A fun-filled event for everyone, featuring the annual silent and live auctions, entertainment and activities specially designed for the young and young at heart. And behind the scenes, the circle committees and groups are tending to the day-to day tasks that keep the doors open and programs happening. Staff and Circle Coordinators are working on a variety of projects from the mundane to the imaginative – everything from cleaning up the database and online calendar to exploring grant and funding possibilities for new ventures. If you’re curious about what’s happening and what’s planned, check-in with one of the Circle Coordinators. Community Circle – Ramona Ramazani Growth and Learning Circle – Lauren Daniell Social Responsibility Circle – Nancy Foreman

HORIZON NEWS Stewardship Circle – Peter Hendee Worship Circle – David Martin Beyond the day-to-day focus and out of its commitment to the future of the congregation, the Board is completing the initial body of policies, assessing the effectiveness of Horizon’s programs for achieving the mission of the church and planning to identify the focus for the next program year. All of that and more is happening over the next month. A time of action, a time of learning, a time of investigating, a time of sharing. In this harvest time, Horizon has much to celebrate. Faithfully,

Rev. Helen 972-492-4940 ext. 106

COMMUNITY NEWS Community Cares

Ramona Ramazani Director of Membership and Pastoral Care dmpc@horizonuu.org Update on the status of Walter Riley from his daughter, Betsy: Walter is now at Oxford Glen Memory Care at Carrollton, 2221 Marsh Lane, Carrollton, 75006 phone 214 380 0955. “I'm very impressed with their vision and commitment to individualized care. They realize that not every dementia patient is the same. Their well-trained staff and upto-date technology helps to customize everything. He is on hospice with the goal of comfort. Unfortunately he has pneumonia, but we hope that will be cleared up soon. My dad can have visitors, but keep in mind that he might not recognize you. His face will light up when he sees you. Maybe even crack a joke and a smile. He enjoys getting the cards and letters. You can continue to send them to me and I will read them to him. I also give him a little background on who's who to maybe trigger a little memory. They are great tools to help us reminisce. Please feel free to pass this on to those that I don't have the email addresses for (or that don't have email).

COMMUNITY NEWS AFTER CHURCH LUNCH BUNCH One way to get to know people from Horizon better is to join us after church for lunch. Everyone is welcome (even friends and family joining you after church). The restaurant will change each week. Check the welcome desk each week for the location. We meet most Sundays. Ask for the “Horizon” tables. It may take a few minutes following the service for lunch attendees to arrive but we’re coming!

Second Sunday Potluck: Everyone welcome! Horizon’s potlucks provide an opportunity to get to know others and be with our church community. We appreciate your bringing a bit more than needed for our families, allowing us to offer this hospitality to all members, visitors, and friends.

THE ART FORGER BY A. A. Shapiro Almost twenty-five years after the infamous art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—still the largest unsolved art theft in history—one of the stolen Degas paintings is delivered to the Boston studio of a young artist. Claire Roth has entered into a Faustian bargain with a powerful gallery owner by agreeing to forge the Degas in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But as she begins her work, she starts to suspect that this long-missing masterpiece—the very one that had been hanging at the Gardner for one hundred years—may itself be a forgery. The Art Forger is a thrilling novel about seeing—and not seeing—the secrets that lie beneath the canvas.

The Horizon Book Group choice for the month of October Join us at 12:00 in the Horizon library.

Bring your lunch (if you wish) and contribute to the discussion. . . (or just listen!) The 4th Tuesday, October 27

YEAR–ROUND STEWARDSHIP

YEAR-ROUND STEWARDSHIP IS WELL UNDER WAY In case you haven’t heard, Horizon is shifting to a year-round Stewardship Program, where each HORIZON UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CHURCH month about 20 families and individuals are asked to renew their pledges. These families are also given an opportunity to engage in a fun event with others pledging that month. We began the program in March 2015, and so far, about half of Horizon's pledging families have been contacted about pledge renewal and attending one of the monthly events. The rest of you will be contacted over the remainder of 2015 or in early 2016. Please watch for your pledge commitment letter and we hope you will attend and enjoy the activity that the leaders of your month choose. During your month we ask that you let our accountant, Menaca Padakandla, know your plans to support Horizon during the following year. You can return the commitment letter or use any means of communication with her, including email, accounting@horizonuu.org, and phone, 972-492-4940, ext. 105.

STEWARDSHIP NEWS

Artist Statement Art helps us define our humanity; it seduces us with beauty, pushes us to define what we are repulsed by, and every imaginable response in between. Artists are compelled to create. The act of creating evokes pleasure and pain, like great love. Time disappears when with this love. The ultimate result is something that you hope will speak to others. My own art has incubated from subjective beginnings. My undergraduate work focused on psychological portraits. The backgrounds in these paintings were provocative and they started to interest me. In grad school I began painting Asian textiles approaching them as high contrast portraits. I started my own Faux Finishing business and became intrigued with the lack of subject matter on a fauxed wall. The technique, products and tools were intoxicating. Surface quality became paramount. My current work bridges the divide between art and faux. I use trowels, palette knives, even pine needles to escape the inhibiting brush. I push and pull the visual plane, as if it were a puzzle with a hidden truth. I scratch and stab. Inspired by rust, peeling paint, old wood, sound waves, distortion and objects that have been used to exhaustion. The surface is the story and color plays the role of both protagonist and antagonist. Wendy Marceron
