FUTURE SUNDAYS Horizon encourages you to attend weekly worship here within your community, on Sundays at 10:30AM
October 13, “Changing the Dream?” - Lyssa Jenkens The Achuar, an indigenous people of the Amazon, believe their rainforest lands will not be safe until we change the dream of the modern world. They say that our dream has become a nightmare, haunting and threatening all of creation. They say that we are living in a trance. What is the dream of the modern world? Are we haunting all of creation? And, if we are, how can we change the dream to offer hope?
October 20, “Ghostbusters in the Basement” - Rev. Hamilton Do you know the ghosts in your basement? All of us have a past, but are we aware of its influence on our lives? We carry more than our own past. We carry generations of attitudes, values and customs, and often dysfunctional behavior that will persist until we look it in the eye and decide to exorcise it.
October 27, Halloween Service “Skeleton Woman” - Rev. Hamilton The story of Skeleton Woman comes from the Inuit tradition. Clarissa Pinkola Estes made it famous in Women Who Run with the Wolves. When we first meet her she is terrifying, but if we get to know her, we discover where the terror comes from. Everyone has a skeleton in their closet. We ask them to come out today.

SAVE THE DATE: “Current State of Women’s Health Care in Texas” SUNDAY * October 13, 2013
Kelly Hart Senior Director of Government Relations, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas Will join us for the Potluck and present “Current State of Women’s Healthcare in Texas” Please plan to stay after the service and participate in the discussion! On Sunday, October 13, Kelly Hart, Senior Director of Government Relations for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, will join us for the Horizon Potluck and lead a discussion on the “Current State of Women’s Health Care in Texas.” The discussion is presented by the Social Justice Reproductive Task Force. If you’ve been following the political news in Texas over the summer, you are aware that Governor Rick Perry signed House Bill 2, the now infamous “abortion clinic-killing bill,” into law, and many Planned Parenthood clinics have begun to shut their doors. Among other things, the bill bans abortion after 20 weeks, requires licensed abortion clinics to transform into costly-to-build ambulatory surgical centers, and mandates that abortion-preforming doctors have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles of each facility where abortions are performed. Most facilities will be unable to meet these requirements, leaving thousands of women without health care and reproductive services. Unfortunately, the assault on women’s reproductive rights and health goes beyond House Bill 2. Poor and uninsured Texas women have fewer options for care today, since state lawmakers have slashed spending for family planning by roughly two-thirds over the course of the last year. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, which covers the Dallas area, says it has no immediate plans to close clinics—at least not yet. Regardless, the future is looking grim for women’s health services in Texas. Please join us after the October 13 to hear Kelly Hart speak and learn what action you might take to halt this dangerous threat to women’s health and families in general. Brought to you by the Reproductive Justice Task Force Questions? contact Mary Morris at mmorris143@verizon.net

Sunday mornings 9:00 – 10:10 am Horizon Library
October 13, 2013
John Wesley’s Personal Life and Hymns by Charles Wesley facilitated by Gordon Roe. John Wesley led the Evangelical Revival in 18th century England. One historian said “Wesley changes the face of England.” I think it’s more accurate to say: changed the heart of England.” In the midst if the Industrial Revolution he spent 50 years riding his horse, preaching wherever he could get a few people together, and organizing class meetings. In the meantime James Oglethorpe was organizing the colony in Georgia to get some debtors out of prison, and William Wilberforce was working to abolish slavery in England. Wesley’s movement provided some impetus for these efforts.
October 20, 2013
Forum facilitated by John Myers: a class discussion on “Returning”, the October Horizon UU theme. The Chalice Circle model for interactive learning will continue.
October 27, 2013
Change in the Air facilitated by Lyssa Jenkens. One scholar wrote that organizational change requires 300 people to have a conversion experience that will take them all to the same place. Clearly, he does not know much about Unitarian Universalist! With so much change afoot at Horizon, we will take time to discuss received wisdom about personal and institutional change, with time to reflect on our own experiences and expectations.

Share the Plate for Sunday Oct 20th Horizon has a collection for non-profit organizations once a month during our worship service. The Share the Plate collection on Sunday, October 20th, is to benefit At Risk Children Foundation. Our own Andy Kernan serves as President: “Improving the lives of orphans in Haiti continues. At-Risk Children President and Horizon member Andy Kernan is very grateful for the opportunity to again share successes with Haitian orphans. Last year’s Share the Plate went a long way toward finishing a successful school year for 84 children in our care. This year as always has been challenging, yet we have taken on the administration of educating a total of 250 children. For just $152 dollars, each of our children can attend school for the year which includes one of their meals. We also are expanding our efforts collaborating with like-minded individuals. I look forward to sharing Challenges and Successes and having Horizon again participate in breaking cycles of poverty in the poorest country in our hemisphere at Sunday Oct. 20th Share the Plate Sunday. With Sincere Gratitude, Andy Kernan”

A Note from the DLRE * By Lauren Daniell * dlre@horizonuu.org
Attention Youth: Opportunities ahead! There are many opportunities for our teens 14-18 years of age in the near future. Please contact Lauren (dlre@horizonuu.org) if you are interested in attending.
#1
Youth Leadership Conference Nov 15-17, 2013 9:00 pm Friday-11:00 am Sunday First Unitarian Church of Oklahoma City Cost $40 – for each registrant, youth and adults
Registration limited to 4 youth and 2 adults from each congregation – if you have additional people that want to attend, we will have a waiting list. Led by Ann McDermott (Youth Coordinator at 1UOKC), Bronwyn Agnew and Olivia Henshaw (former youth leaders in SW District). Registration will be available soon at uuokc.org What to expect: This will be a working conference designed to give youth and adults an opportunity to gain skills and acquire resources to take back to their home congregations to enhance youth programs all over the district. We will cover a variety of topics including basic youth group structure, community building, youth/adult shared leadership strategies, and tips on integrating social justice and anti-oppression work into your group. The ultimate goal is to create youth groups that are balanced in their approach. These tend to be more successful and help us to honor our seven principles. We will also help youth and adults to identify how to better integrate the youth as individuals and the youth group as a whole into the congregation at large.
