Time flies, when you’re having fun!

Goodness me, can you believe that the congregational year is drawing to a close in just a couple of weeks?

In some ways, I can and, in some ways, I can’t.

It does seem like ages ago that we hosted our water ceremony and blessed and named the body of water that fills our spirit. And at the same time, the January Bi-Annual meeting, when you decided that we would spend another year together in interim work, seems like it happened just last month!

I believe that this quick passage of time is a function of the amount of activities that have gone on from then until now. (In February, we were orientating and welcoming six new members. In March, we were stretching with the Covenant Feast. In April, the Board of Trustees was furiously planning for the year ahead. In May, the Talent Auction Task Force was picking up steam and ten members lent their talent to the Whole Congregation Celebration on Emergence on May 22. In the home stretch of the year, we’ll officially welcome our new members, congratulate Delphine Esformes on her successful completion of the Coming of Age program on June 5 and host the end-of-year picnic on June 12. Wrapping up the official congregational year, we’ll do calendaring for next year on June 13.)

According to scientist Peter Russell in his book “Waking Up in Time,” the pace of life is speeding up. While not a surprise to anyone, “technological breakthroughs spread through society in years rather than centuries. Calculations that would have taken decades are now made in minutes. Communications that once required months occurs in seconds.” As a result, he says, “it will force a complete revision of our thinking about who we are, what we really want, and what life is all about.”

Indeed, we are facing a world that is in rapid convolution, both maturing and digressing at the same time. Some say it’s always been like this – three steps forward, two steps back. But to me, with the quickening pace of our technology and our realization that resources are limited, we find ourselves in a place that we’ve never been.

It’s an exciting and precarious time, made more rich with self-reflection.

It matters that we are a voice of reason. It matters that we are a voice for sustainability. It matters that we encourage ourselves and our children to be tolerant, resilient and centered with a moral compass.

It matters that there is a liberal religious Unitarian Universalist congregation on the south shore of Long Island.

Our work, so far has been fruitful: spending the first year exploring the roots and the characteristics of the congregation; strengthening, in the second year, the congregational systems and firmly inhabiting a shared ministry. We have successfully moved from a full-time minister to a part-time one. In the year ahead, we will tackle how to blend this preliminary work into a clear well defined vision and mission in preparation of welcoming a new developmental minister in the fall of 2017.

I look forward to the work. And I look forward to the planning and preparation for our final year together. We will spend the summer sprucing and getting ready, as well as resting and rejuvenating.

In a very basic sense, understanding that this rapid changing world is not an either/or but rather, always, a both/and helps to root us on a slow and steady path, together.

May your gardens grow lush, may you always remember to put on sunscreen, and may the waters of our beautiful earth quench your spirit and your thirst.

Laurie Stuart, Transition Minister

Transition Minister Laurie Stuart facilitates the board retreat on April 23.

5th Sunday Nominations are being accepted for the July 31 5th Sunday Giving. For months where there are five Sundays, members of the congregation can recommend a 503-C not-for-profit charity to receive the 5th Sunday’s collection plate. Someone will need to give a brief description of the charity to the congregation during the service. Contact Mary Brower of the 5th Sunday Committee for an application, 516-532-2554, mlbrowerapr@aol.com.

Laurie, who has served as SNUUC’s transition minister since September 2014, was granted preliminary fellowship in December 2015. The vote to ordain is a happy one, honoring Laurie and her ministry as well as supporting the denomination as a whole! Ordination will not change Laurie’s status as a part-time minister at SNUUC, though we can call her “the Rev. Laurie” afterward!

The ordination worship service and celebration will be held at SNUUC on October 1. If you’re interested in helping to plan the event, please speak with Laurie or a board member.

And speaking of next year... The board will be hosting the spring Congregational Council meeting on June 13 at 5 pm. The focus of this meeting will be calendaring events and collaboration for the next congregational year, which begins in September. All committees and ministry groups are urged to send a representative; if that’s not possible, please email to me or the SNUUC office the dates your group would like to have calendared. For more information, please speak to Transition Minister Laurie Stuart or me, rosemaryolander@optimum.net

The board will be spending the next few months identifying and mapping goals for the next congregational year; we hope to have many new ideas to share with you in September!

Let’s celebrate before we part With the congregational year concluding at the end of June, we have at least one more opportunity for a congregation-wide party: the potluck cookout after worship on June 12. This annual event is organized by the Membership Committee – please let them know how you can help and what delicious dish you will contribute. We’re looking forward to seeing you there! With gratitude, Rosemary Olander-Beach, President, Board of Trustees

We are zooming into the “end” of the year, with the congregation having met for its spring biannual meeting on May 15.

At that meeting, the congregation adopted the budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. Next year’s budget continues to support the important work of the congregation, maintaining programming and part-time staff at or exceeding the previous year’s level.

We are mindful that the adopted budget includes a deficit amount that will be spent from the congregation’s savings if additional funds are not raised. The congregation is the fulcrum in this equation – the greater our financial stewardship, the less we will have to spend from our savings. And truly, the more options we have for the future.

Planning for our next ministry At the recent biannual meeting, the congregation also voted to pursue a developmental minister beginning with the 2017-18 congregational year. A developmental minister is hired for a contract period, typically three to five years, to help congregations work to develop areas of “stuckness.” SNUUC’s hiring of a developmental minister is expected to follow our third year of interim ministry, which begins in September.

In the next few months, the board will be mapping out the steps to hiring a developmental minister. The steps are both internal, i.e., identifying the span and specific goals for the period of developmental ministry, and external, working with the UUA Transitions Office and the region to begin a search process. The board will share information about this process as it unfolds.

We’re having a party! Happily, the congregation also voted at the biannual meeting to ordain Transition Minister Laurie Stuart.

In the Unitarian Universalist tradition, congregations alone are empowered to ordain, signaling that a person has been called forth from a congregation and recognized as a spiritual leader. Although congregations can ordain anyone, typically congregations ordain individuals who have received a Master of Divinity degree and completed chaplain training and an internship before being granted preliminary fellowship by the UUA.

Trustee Paul Sherrock talks about congregational goals during the board retreat on April 23.

RE program news The board is also happy to report that Harriet Arnold, SNUUC’s acting religious education coordinator since last September, has accepted the position on a permanent basis. A subcommittee of the board was formed to continue the forward momentum of the program and will be evaluating the RE Assessment forms that were handed out during the Biannual Meeting. Additional copies are available in the foyer, from the office or from Harriet.

Congratulations to Jr. Youth member Maggie Musto, who received the Nassau Reading Council’s 2016 Young Author’s Award. Maggie will read her personal narrative piece at Molloy College on June 6. We look forward to Maggie sharing her piece during a Whole Congregation

Celebration in the future.

Delphine Esformes, member of the SNUUC Jr. Youth, made it through the NY State gymnastics championship and will be competing in the World Championship in Orlando Florida in June! Great work Delphine!

Many thanks go to the Membership Committee, Zac Stuart-Pontier and his mom, Transition Minister Laurie Stuart who held a very interesting discussion about the HBO documentary, The Jinx, on Friday, May 20 at SNUUC. Zac is the editor, co-producer and writer of the show and had the audience on the edge of their seats as he shared inside information. Laurie facilitated the event and the conversation continued into the foyer with food and wine, provided by the Membership Committee.

A heartfelt thanks to all those who made our Talent Auction a success by their hard work and participation.

Special thanks to our hardworking Task Force, jockeys, auctioneer and betting captain, and our brilliant checkout team for the streamlined system they devised. Kudos also to our dessert coordinators, cleanup team, and mighty pew movers.

Perhaps folks are unaware that Nick Nanos, bartender at our cash donation bar, has been stocking those mint juleps at his own expense these many years; give him a shout-out.

Thanks to all who pitched in and did some task that needed doing, and thanks to the congregation for that 20% stretch in all the wonderful offerings this year.

The Talent Auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we welcome your feedback. If you have hearts or darts to throw at us, we want to hear them. Email Rita Hines, Rosemary Olander Beach, Veronica Underhill or Marietta Cleckley.

Again, thanks for everything!

Talent Auction Thanks!

SNUUC Committees meet regularly and welcome attendance at their meetings even if you are not a member of the committee. Speak with a Board member if you would like to learn more about serving.

The Board will meet on Wednesday, June 8 at 7 pm in the foyer.

Membership Committee wants you! Do you want to see SNUUC thrive, even grow? If so, this is the committee for you! Speak with Julie Buckley to join them at their meeting on June 3 at 7pm in the RE wing. If you're a SNUUC booster, or would like to be one, please plan to attend!

The Thrift Shop Committee will meet on Sunday, June 5 at 12 pm. Please speak with Joe McAuley, Anne Olsen or Doris Brass to find out more about this important committee.

The RE Committee The RE Committee chair is Sharon Nanos. Sharon Kennelty-Cohen serves as Secretary. Contact Sharon Nanos for more info on the exciting year ahead.

Caring Team provides support and pastoral care to members. If you or a member you know

needs compassionate help during a time of stress or would like to share during a time of celebration,

please email caring@snuuc.org; kindly email items to be shared from the pulpit by noon Saturday for the next Sunday. The caring team ministries are divided into four sections.

Cards and phone calls: JoAnn Fassman, Transportation: Doris Brass, Visiting: Paul Sherrock, Joys and Concerns: Rosemary Olander-Beach.

The Environmental Committee reminds everyone to do a spring clean out of all unused and expired prescription medications and dispose of them at a collection location. Two local ones near Freeport are the Lynbrook Police Station at 1 Columbus Drive, and the Seaford Police Station at 3636 Merrick Road. This eliminates the chance of misuse and preserves our water source. Never flush medication. If you’re interested in this committee, contact Mary Brower 516-532-2554.

Five Weeks To Go! Pay your Pledge in Full by June 30

The income from our pledges enables SNUUC to operate. Please check your pledge statements right away. Make sure you have completed your Pledge for this current fiscal year by June 30. Thank you!

A Call From The Treasurer

Our Unitarian Thrift Shop is located at 22 W. Merrick Road and is a great place to volunteer, donate or shop! Your support of our Thrift Shop can come in different forms.

Are You a Yard Sale Addict? If so, you can help the Thrift Shop while enjoying yourself! When you visit yard sales, look around for the following items; glassware, dishes, pots and pans, flatware, art objects, jewelry, shelves and collectibles. These are all very desirable, salable items in our Thrift Shop. When you find a yard sale with any of these items that are in good, salable condition, you can help in any of the following ways: Purchase the items, donate them to the Thrift Shop and received a tax slip for an income tax deduction. OR 2) Give a Thrift Shop business card to the yard sale operator and ask if he/she would call to have these items picked up at the end of the sale. The operator will receive a tax slip for the donated merchandise.

Donating sellable items is a great start. So is volunteering your time to help fully staff our shop. Shopping in our store might find you that little treasure you didn’t even know you needed but could easily welcome warmly into your home! The Thrift Shop's income contributes significantly each year to the 1operating funds of the congregation which is still another way that you will be helping out SNUUC!

The Thrift Shop is currently open Monday and Tuesday from 10 am to 1 pm and Wednesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. The phone number is 516-223-3974. Any questions? Please feel free to talk with some of our regular volunteers at the shop: Andrew Spatt, Joe McAuley, Anne Olsen, Jay Gach, Arnie Herman, Jim Hawkins, Bobby Granoff, Doris Brass, Robin Norris and Ken Lawson.

Stewardship Update We are almost there! The canvass for the 2016-17 fiscal year is drawing to a close, as the Stewardship Committee continues to collect financial commitments for the spiritual and financial health of the congregation. For the next fiscal year, 64 member and friend pledging units have promised to contribute more than $110,000. So many members and friends "stretched" their monetary commitments for the coming year, and for that we are grateful. The committee will issue a final report in time for the start of the next congregational year, in September.

The canvass is continuing, however, as a few pledging units still need to make commitments. Please respond right away if you haven't made a pledge for next year. And remember, you should begin paying your pledge for the 2016-17 fiscal year on July 1.

As the 2015-16 fiscal year draws to a close, the committee asks that you make every effort to pay your pledge by June 30! And if you've already paid your pledge in full, the committee says: Thanks! (And can you pay more?) The financial gifts of members and friends are the congregation's single largest source of income -- and they are our best hope for "stretching" our stewardship of this place we call our spiritual home.

Finally, the outgoing Stewardship Committee chairs ask that you consider whether you can lead or assist with next year's canvass. If you are interesting in learning how to promote financial stewardship as a spiritual practice -- and teaching others what that means -- this is the job for you! Training and mentoring will be offered. Please speak to Rosemary Olander-Beach or Ellen Zaehringer-Gach if you feel called or would like more information.

Trustee Steve Underhill shares a light moment with board secretary Barbara Singer, center, and treasurer Ellen Zaehringer-Gach at the board retreat on April 23.

Our Thrift Shop

This fundraiser will benefit the LI Transgender Day of Remembrance when community members come together to denounce violence, bigotry and hate, and remember the friends and allies who have been lost in the past year because of prejudice and hate. Last year the service was held on Sunday, November 22 at the Episcopal Church of St. Margaret in Plainview. The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed because of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28, 1998, provided the impetus for the Remembering Our Dead Web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. At the LITDoR, community members participate in memory of those affected by hate crimes. This service in November is a free event, no solicitations accepted or solicited. All are invited and encouraged to attend, www.litdor.org.

Join us every other Tuesday, 10:30 am to 12 noon in the foyer for a study of one

prayer from the sacred literature of the world. We work with a process called lectio divina.

General Assembly 2016, June 22-26 Columbus, OH

General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Attendees worship, witness, learn, connect and make policy for the Association through democratic process. The theme for GA 2016 will be Heart Land: Where Faiths Connect. The faith world is increasingly multifaith. People are crossing borders of religion and spiritual practice to create wholeness in their lives individually and collectively. The labels—Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, theist and non-theist—no longer define who or what we love, or how spirit moves in our lives. General Assembly 2016 will assemble leaders and communities of many faiths to worship together, learn from one another, and create a new vision of faith that no longer divides us, but connects us to an interdependent future that works for all. Speak with the minister or a Board member if you would like to attend GA. More info on GA, registration costs and hotel/travel costs can be found at http://www.uua.org/ga/index.shtml.

Judy is a heroine very much like our junior youth girls. She is smart and very observant, and anxious to learn as much as possible about her world.

When Judy first appeared in 1932, the country was in the throes of the Great Depression and life was very different. As one of our young women noted after reading the first chapter of one of the stories, “Wow, these books were written so long ago that gay still meant happy.” And although there are obvious linguistic and technological differences between Judy’s world and ours - the essentials remain the same. Emerging into womanhood presents many challenges—who to befriend, how to conduct my life, what is truly important to me? The Seven Principles we instill in our young people and try to live by as adults serve as guideposts.

We are, as Unitarian Universalists, a people without dogma. We have guiding principles but we are not bound to them or any creed. But we do have many stories and storytellers to give us our gospel - our good news. From Thoreau and Emerson to Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott and Dr. Seuss they each tell us stories of bravery in the face of injustice, love for all people, and a constant search for truth.

Margaret Sutton, too, wrote with a passion for these values. They are embedded in all her stories. And when Judy fails to live up to her own expectations, with an unkind word to a friend or a bit of gossip, she engages in that most UU value, forgiveness, of ourselves and others.

Now, as then, we can wish no greater gift for our youth as they emerge into adults, than a respect for these timeless ideals and an understanding of how these values will enrich their lives. Harriet Arnold Acting RE Coordinator

In the RE Wing

The Junior Youth service on May 1 celebrated UU author and founding member Margaret Sutton. Delphine Esformes, back row left, Laurel Owen, Leanna Pignataro and Maggie Musto, front row, welcomed the congregation in four languages.

The chief glory of every people arises from its authors - Samuel Johnson

We UUs have no true gospel but we are heirs to a long tradition of storytellers that often imbue their writing with the essence of Unitarian Universalist ideals.

On May 1st, there was a beautiful confluence of celebrations that paid homage to that tradition. We celebrated a UU author, a founding member of our congregation, Margaret Sutton. Our Junior Youth planned this service, learning much about how the ritual, music and symbols of our faith combine to create a worshipful time and space.

Our theme for May - emergence - worked so beautifully for the Junior Youth project and service and as we were also acknowledging the generous donation of Barbara Barry’s collection of Judy Bolton mysteries written by Margaret Sutton, it all came together. And we were fortunate enough to have all of Margaret Sutton’s children here to celebrate with us. Tom, Lindsey and Meg all spent their formative years here as part of the SNUUC family.

Although Margaret wrote many other fiction and nonfic-tion books for young people and the first history of our congregation, she is best remembered for her feisty girl detective Judy Bolton. And the feisty young women of today’s Jr. Youth group had all read parts of the series and did their own detective work. In addition to the pure enjoyment of reading a good mystery, they searched the text for evidence of the UU values that have been instilled in them at SNUUC. And they were not disappointed.

Isabelle Gille, left, and Nicole Finch relax after dishing up scrumptious quiches and a dazzling brunch buffet celebrating Mother's Day.

Vacationing this summer? Please remember to collect toiletries to go to the Midnight Run this fall (soap, shampoo, lotion). When you bring the small washed used bottles we can refill them, so collect them all.

The mission of the South Nassau Unitarian Universalist Congregation is to provide a sanctuary of beauty and harmony where: We search in freedom for meaning and truth; we draw inspiration from many religious and philosophical sources while acknowledging the Judeo-Christian heritage of Unitarian Universalism; we embrace diversity and welcome people of all ages, races, and orientations; we affirm that our children and youth are an integral and important part of our religious family; we strive toward a social awareness that leads to transformative action in our community and to living in balance with the environment. Ours is a nurturing congregation where children and adults find acceptance and fellowship, feel empowered and grow spiritually.
