Sunday, March 5 WOMEN OF THE WORLD

Moderator: Cecilia Montesdeoca Panelists: Martha Hernández and Friends

The Women’s Marches that took place around the world on

January 22 were a powerful manifestation of women’s power.

International Women’s Day dates back to the 1900s with roots

in the labor movements. Today the holiday continues to ad-

dress existing inequalities among the genders while recogniz-

ing and celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and politi-

cal achievements of women. Join us for a panel discussion of

the diverse contributions international women in our commu-

nity have made to help empower other women and bring posi-

tive long-term change to North Dakota and beyond.

Cecilia Montesdeoca, native of Bloomington, Illinois, graduat-

ed from Illinois State with a degree in Cultural Anthropology

and Community Health Education and currently works at Da-

kota Resource Council. Martha Hernández works with Nonvio-

lent Peaceforce, a global non-profit organization that promotes

unarmed civilian protection.

Sunday, March 19 MUSINGS ALONG THE MISSOURI:

SPIRITUAL PRACTICES FOR LIFE Karen Van Fossan, Minister

What gives you inspiration? What opens your heart, nourishes

your body, and brings presence to your mind? In this explora-

tion of spiritual/inspirational practices across the ages, we will

sion for others and ourselves.

Karen Van Fossan has been serving as the minister for the Bis-

marck Mandan UU congregation since August 2015. She is a fos-

ter mom, pastoral counselor, writer, and social justice advocate.

*Ingathering is our way of acknowledging and honoring new

members. And we are having Ingathering ceremonies at

both the 10:30 am and 12:30 pm services.

Sunday, March 12 WATER IS LIFE: THE BEGINNING

Nicole Dammert and Megan Carranza

We come from water, we are made of water, we return to water.

Doulas—professional birth companions—will share their experi-

ences with birth and the all-encompassing presence of water.

This service continues the Water Is Life series.

Nicole Dammert is a mother, doula, retired veterinarian, and

Peruvian living in North Dakota. Megan Carranza—also a

mom— is from North Dakota whose career has involved working

with immigrants, Adult Education, veterans, and being a doula.

Sunday, March 26 THIS I BELIEVE; THIS I DO

Jim Lennington

As UUs, we hold a belief in 7 Principles and the sentiment that

what we do while here on Earth matters. In this popular ser-

vice format, Jim Lennington will share his spiritual journey

and how he lives our UU principles.

Bis-Man UU member since 1998, Jim Lennington has served

on the Board and one term as president. Jim was raised UCC

and is the son of a minister. Jim considers himself a North Da-

Our UU Community

Our UU Folk Choir Welcomes YOU!

The UU Folk Choir welcomes any and all musicians and singers! Practice

begins Friday evenings from 5 to 6 pm at the church, and again before the

service at 10 am. Director Jean King can be reached

at [email protected] if you have any questions.

People, Place, Program (PPP)

Gatherings On Wednesday, March 15th, we will again have our

monthly People, Place, Program Gatherings (PPP) a light

supper and social at 5:30 pm and break into PPP meet-

ings at 6:00 pm.

The PPP Gathering's purpose is to bring more volunteers

into the work of the church -- creating a true community

of action within our congregation.

The People Area mission is to promote spiritual growth

and vibrant community at the BisMan UU Fellowship and

Church by providing our congregation with spiritual

support and opportunities for community engagement

and fellowship. Specifically, we collaborate to develop

and deepen our congregation's approach to hospitality,

greeting, membership, caring and social justice.

The Place Area Vision Statement is providing a safe, se-

cure, and aesthetically-pleasing physical environment

for our congregation.

The Program Area sets the direction of the ministry of the

church. What topics will be discussed and presented on

in Sunday services, what part of the wider world we

bring into our church every Sunday, what values are

promoted from the pulpit--these are also part of the mis-

sion and work of the Program Area.

If you are interested in finding out more about the work

of our church and our PPP Gatherings, call or email the

church office: 701.223.6788 or [email protected].

Welcoming New UU Members!

Ingathering Sunday, March 19

On March 19, new UU members will

be recognized during both Sunday

services.

Am I a Member? What is a Member?

And What is an Ingathering, Anyway? —Janis Cheney

So, starting with the third – easy – answer:

An Ingathering is our UU way of acknowledging and

honoring new members. And we are planning one for

Sunday March 19 at both the 10:30 and 12:30 ser-

vices.

If you have been attending for some time, and are finding

community and connection at our Unitarian Universalist

congregation, perhaps you feel like a member – and it is

likely we think of you as one! As with most organizations,

however, there is a bit of a process…

Our by-laws list three things to be a member: signing the

membership book, supporting the mission and principles

we affirm, and making a ‘contribution of record.’ A con-

tribution of record is generally regarded as a financial

contribution and it can be whatever best fits your circum-

stances – we just need to know that it came from you! As a

member, meeting these three items entitles you to vote at

our business meetings. (Note: as a place where all are

welcome and everyone’s contribution – whether of time,

energy, talent, or treasure – is recognized, exceptions can

also be made to the financial ask).

So, if you have been considering membership (or haven’t

been, but would like to!), please contact Carol Jean

Larsen ([email protected]; 701-516-7848) or Janis

Cheney ([email protected]; 701-426-6950).

And remember – member, friend, seeker, wanderer,

wayfarer, You are Always Welcome Here!

Quarterly Congregational Meeting

on 3-26-17

When: Sunday, March 26, 11:45am-12:15pm

Quorum needed! UU Board will discuss change in

by-laws and revised annual budget for 2017 with

input and participation are valued and appreciated!

Please join us.

UU Community in Action

WHERE DO YOU STAND?

—Rita Kelly, Board President

“One cannot lead a life that is truly excellent without feeling

that one belongs to something greater or more permanent than

oneself. This is one conclusion that is common to all the vari-

ous religions that have given meaning to people’s lives.”

Above, Forrest Gilmore quotes a noted psychologist in an es-

say on the Seventh UU Principle, Respect for the Interdepend-

ent Web of All Existence of Which We Are a Part.

In 2015 I came back to this fellowship after making highly spot-

ty appearances over the previous two and a half decades. I

enjoyed being back, seeing former friendly faces while appre-

ciating the new ones, too. I would talk to a few folks, listen for

an hour and then head out.

Essentially, although I fully concurred with “Standing on the

Side of Love,” I was basically just “Standing on the Side.”

Thrust into the center of things through a non-initiated encoun-

ter, I first found myself joining Board meetings to fill a vacancy

for the last few months of 2016. Then I was asked if I would be

willing to be nominated to serve on the Board for 2017-19, to

which I said yes. And suddenly—totally gobsmacked—I found

myself Board President, out of an awareness and guilt that eve-

ryone else on the Board already had myriad fellowship respon-

sibilities.

My point? If you, too, are basically “Standing on the Side,” we

are pleased that you’re here with us. It’s a wonderful start. But

consider dipping your toe in to participate more fully. It need-

n’t be a huge leap at first: join a circle supper, come to a com-

mittee meeting that sounds as if it might interest you, sing in

the choir, facilitate a program.

UUs cherish the individual and the search for meaning, but

reaching out to connect with other UUs more fully will lead to

an ever-richer experience.

The Bismarck-Mandan UU organized two Standing

Rock clean-up parties from the church (Saturday, Feb-

ruary 11 & 18) to help clear debris at Oceti Sakowin

camp before spring flooding.

MidAmerica Regional

Assembly will be at

the Oak Brook Mar-

riott in Oak Brook Illi-

nois (Chicago area) on

April 28-30, 2017.

In spite of our small numbers

in the national religious scene, Unitarian Universalists have

been at the forefront of every significant social change in our

nation's history. Now, more than ever, we need to work with

partners to have an impact in our cities, states

and country.

Our Keynote Speaker will be Rev. Dr. Lee

Barker, President and Professor of Ministry at

Meadville-Lombard Theological School! Rev.

Dr. Barker's topic will be:

To Multi-faith: A Verb Unitarian Universal-

ism is perfectly situated to promote construc-

tive multi-faith engagement for increased

understanding and enhanced harmony. Suc-

cess will depend on a new understanding of

what it means to “be engaged.” You can find out more at

Each year, the MidAmerica Region of the UUA hosts a re-

gional gathering of UUs from the 13 states comprising the

region. This year’s Regional Assembly will be held April 28-

30 at the Chicago Marriott Oak Brook, Oak Brook, IL. Our

congregation will have 3 delegates including our minister.

This year’s theme is

Finding Our Partners: Faith in Action.

As members who have attended past district and regional

meetings will attest, the keynote sessions, workshops, and

worship sessions are energizing and inspiring, as are the

connections with fellow Unitarian Universalists from across

the region. The Assembly also includes the annual MidAm-

erica Region business meeting and election of regional

board members. Bismarck-Mandan UU member Janis Chen-

ey serves on the current regional board.

You can learn more about the Regional Assembly at the

MidAmerica website midamericauua.org. If you have ques-

tions or are interested in attending, please contact Carol

Jean Larsen ([email protected], 701-516-7848) or

Camp UniStar—-Check It Out!! Would you enjoy a week on a beautiful island retreat where you can unplug, un-

wind, and enjoy nature? A place where you can learn something new and engage -- when you want to -- with a village of old

and new friends who are largely rooted in Unitarian Universalist values?

Camp UniStar is a special week-long rustic retreat for individuals, couples and families with shared values.

Reachable only by water, the camp is surrounded by the Chippewa National Forest on Star Island in Cass

Lake, one of the largest lakes in northern Minnesota, near Bemidji.

The camp's waterfront offers a wide range of activities. The island's forest trails attract hikers. Sunrises and

sunsets encourage meditation. Each year UniStar campers return for the serenity and community, with no

roads or commercial enterprise, and enjoy a week filled with thought-provoking programs, wonderful meals,

and memorable experiences.

During the season, camp offers 12 weeks with various programs – some for youth only, some for adults only,

most for a combination of individuals to family groups. The season opens with a work week fixing up the

camp, and two youth weeks for people entering 7th through 12th grades. In addition to staff, camp capacity

each week is up to 70 campers, who are housed in sleeping rooms in the cabins and the upstairs of the main

lodge, or in a tenting area beside the lake.

You can find the 2017 summer schedule and registration information on the web at http://www.campunistar.org/program/. If

you have questions, there are a number of Bis-Man UU members who have attended including Carol Jean Larsen, Liz Loos,

Janis Cheney & Steve Crane, Don Morrison, Anessa Pfeifer-Johnson. And our own Rev Karen Van Fossan is leading one of the

program weeks this year!

For Your Information: 2016 Financial Picture

Note: The bar graph on top shows income (green) compared to expenses

(brown). The top pie chart is an expense summary; the bottom-most pie

chart shows an income summary. The legends for each graph and chart are

on the right and are unique to that particular graph. Please note the same

colors are used in each graph but are used differently in each one—e.g.,

“staff” in the expense pie chart summary and “pledges” in the income pie

chart summary are both colored green. These charts represent our 2016

finances.

Look for graphs to be presented in our newsletters in the future. Our goal is

that the graphs and more detailed financial information will give our mem-

bers and friends an easy and quick way to understand our church’s financial

health.

“Hope” is the Thing with Feathers

By Emily Dickinson

“Hope” is the thing with feathers—

That perches in the soul—

And sings the tune without the words—

And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—

And sore must be the storm—

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm—

I’ve heard it in the chillest land—

And on the strangest Sea—

Yet—never—in Extremity,

It asked a crumb—of me.
