FUTURE SUNDAYS Horizon encourages you to attend weekly worship here within your community, on Sundays at 10:30AM
August 11 - "Unity, and 99 Other Names for God" - Cynthia Talbot Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world, and yet for most of us in the Western World, it remains one of the least understood, and mysterious. Come and learn a bit about the Muslim view of faith, some of the surprising beliefs that we UU's share with our Muslim neighbors, and some we don't, and how the Muslim faith shapes the everyday landscapes of life in modern North Africa. Shared in stories, anecdotes, and occasional quotes from a Unitarian Universalist who lived in the region." We are pleased to have Cyn Talbot bring her insights from her life among the Egyptians.
August 18 - Spirituality for Agnostics - Rev. Dennis Hamilton Are you “spiritual”? Do you have a spiritual practice? When religion gets out of the way, everything becomes an object of devotion. The ordinary becomes miraculous. The world, once called “profane” by the “religious” now reveals itself as sacred. The whole universe dances. And dancing is wrong? Something is amiss. Sign up for Wellspring group begins today.
August 25 - “Good Vibrations” - Rev. Dennis Hamilton Michio Kaku the physicist claims that at the subatomic level the universe is insubstantial, just vibrations, like a violin string. Quarks, electrons, and the rest are like notes on a string, and, in a way, we are each a song, music made flesh. Today we look at how science is far more amazing and spiritual than the imaginative rings of heaven and hell pictured by Dante. And we ask the question, “Then who am I really?”

Please mark your calendars and check this column in the future for more details. Proposed First Wednesdays topics include: September 11, 2013*: RETURNING As we return from our summer wanderings to the normal church rhythm, we are invited to think about what we return to: home, companions, church, school…And are there practices that you have neglected? Are there things you will abandon? October 2, 2013: HAUNTING What haunts your life? The dead? Memories? Old experiences? Old beliefs? Resentments? We look for ways to befriend our ghosts.

New Classes for Children and Youth begin in September! Children and youth at Horizon will begin new classes in mid-September. The younger children will focus on the Judeo-Christian roots of Unitarian Universalism while the middle and high school youth will have the chance to do Our Whole Lives, Coming of Age and a variety of curricula at the senior high level. Here is a snapshot of classes by level: Preschool: Celebrating Me and My World Begins September 15 The young UUs in this class will learn through hands-on experience with the wonderful and wide world around them; stories about our Faith that teach our history and principles; and play, which is the natural expression of the young child's heart and mind. Kindergarten and First Grade: Picture Book Bible Tales and Holidays and Holy Days Begins September 15 Five to seven year olds will explore stories from the Bible as told from a UU point of view and emphasis. They will also celebrate Christian and Jewish holidays throughout the year – UU style!
the_week@horizonuu the_week@horizon v05.13.12page 6 of 20
page 6 of 20
Second and Third Grades: Timeless Themes Begins September 15 Timeless Themes introduces children to religious literature which is central to our culture and our heritage as Unitarian Universalists. The program examines two sets of scriptures: the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible. The primary goal is to retell stories that are often told or referred to in our culture, but from a UU perspective. Fourth and Fifth Grades: Living the Promise Begins September 15 Children ages nine through eleven will delve into the Jewish and Christian texts this year with our “Living the Promise” program. The foundation of our Unitarian Universalist Faith is our Covenant with one another, and the history of the Bible is one of making, breaking, and renewing Covenants. Sixth and Seventh Grades: Compass Points Begins September 15 Preteens will be exploring the people they are and the people they want to become through the Compass Points program this year. Compass Points takes youth ages 11 to 13 on a journey through Unitarian Universalism by exploring our diverse and rich history, the Covenant of the Seven Principles, and our Six Sources. Not only will the children gain an understanding of where we come from as a Faith, but also where we hope to be going. Eighth Grade: OWL (Our Whole Lives) Begins September 8 OWL or Our Whole Lives is our comprehensive life course that teaches accurate information about sexual health and relationships integrated with the UU friendly values of respect, compassion, responsibility, diversity, and justice. Ninth Grade: COA (Coming of Age) Begins September 8 This course for ninth graders helps young teens understand what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist. They study UU history, theology, and clarify their own spiritual selves. The COA year’s highlights are a Credo service where each teen presents his or her beliefs and a UU heritage trip to Boston. Grades 10-12: Various curricula Begins September 15 Our Senior High students will have a say in choosing their courses of study this coming fall. Choices will include spiritual deepening, UU History, and refining their sense of ethics and learning what it really means to live by UU values.

Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade
Mark your calendars now! Show your support of the GLBTQ community. Plan to make a poster, see a movie and march in the 2013 Dallas Pride Parade! It has been a historic year for equal rights at the national level. In Texas, though, not much has changed. In fact, Texas legislators have taken small, petty steps to emphasize that the GLBTQ community is not welcome here. Even while we celebrate the national movement forward, we must take a stand at the local level. Sunday afternoon, Sept. 15, UU congregations from across the metroplex will be uniting and marching in the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade, the GLBTQ Pride Parade of Dallas. The theme this year is “Deep in the Heart of Pride!” Now, more than ever, this parade will be a demonstration of the size, the support, and the voice of the GLBTQ community and allies. The week before, on Saturday, Sept. 7, 12 noon, join us at Horizon for a sign-making party and movie screening in the portable building. More about this fun, creative event and information about other happenings will be announced soon. If you have any questions, please email Horizon’s 2013 Pride Parade Team, Diana Bracken, Elizabeth Gustwick and JuLane, at julane@judithlane.com.

Labor Day Weekend Extravaganza! AUGUST 30-31 • 8:00 p.m. Labor Day plans? Be sure they include Horizon Players’ Summer Dessert Theatre production, “What the Bible Left Out“ Did you ever ponder why some of the favorite stories in the Old Testament don’t hold up to UU scrutiny? Could it be that there was a back story that somehow didn’t make it into those parchment pages? Prompted by this mystery, a group of Horizon Players playwrights came up with the missing links – even if we had to create them with our imaginations – and we are proud to present them to you this summer in our original play. To make this trip back in time even more tempting, a heavenly host of singing archangels will provide music of the spheres for your enjoyment – with lyrics appropriate to the subject matter at hand! A unique experience awaits you! As always, Horizon Players will have a tasty array of snacks on sale at the Caravansary Café – delectable desserts, fresh fruit and cheese plates, a selection of refreshing beverages, and the ever-popular “$5 Special Snack” that includes a free beverage (which can be wine). Tickets are only $12 if purchased in advance ($15 at the door) and are on sale August 18 and 25 in Fellowship Hall – you can’t miss the Horizon Players lighted marquee! Email orders can also be placed at players@horizonuu.org Horizon Players is completely self-supporting, and we deeply appreciate your patronage through ticket and concession sales so that we can keep the laughter going! Please note: Horizon Players events do not include childcare.

Patti Burns will facilitate the class on Hearing Loss based on Katherine Bouton's memoir “Shouting Won't Help: Why I - and 50 Million Other Americans - Can't Hear You”. It is an excellent book on a widespread and misunderstood disability. Hearing loss is invisible. It is also frustrating, isolating, and at times embarrassing. It also has many causes - not just growing older. We'll discuss hearing loss and share experiences from many different perspectives.
August 18, 2013
Kent Darwin will facilitate the class on Immigration to the United States. He will be sharing some of our immigration history and what the key issues being considered for the new immigration bill. There are some historical surprises.
August 25, 2013
Our six sources say we draw from "Jewish and Christian teachings", but UUs tend to spend little time studying Jewish teachings. To correct this in part, join J. P. DeMeritt in exploring the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah to see what we UUs can gain from a deeper knowledge of the Jewish tradition. J. P., a dedicated UU, is a nearly 30-year participant observer of Judaism and is minoring in the Sociology of Religion at TWU.
And… Always check the weekly newsletter for short profiles on classes and late-breaking announcements. If you email are@horizonuu.org you will get a quick response from one of the committee chairs – Kay Darwin and Kent Darwin.
