SUMMARY:On Optimism
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday for a screening of a talk by the late Barbara Ehrenreich “On Optimism”. The film will be approximately 30 minutes after which we will have a discussion. During our discussions on resilience one thing that came out was the societal pressure around a particular type of resilience. Ehrenreich gives a view on Optimism and Toxic Positivity that is unique and sure to provoke a lively discussion.\n\nFor those of you asking who was  Barbara Ehrenreich\, here is a brief synopsis through Wikipedia: \nBarbara Ehrenreich (August 26\, 1941 – September 1\, 2022) was an American author and political activist. During the 1980s and early 1990s\, she was a prominent figure in the Democratic Socialists of America. She was a widely read and award-winning columnist and essayist and the author of 21 books. Ehrenreich was best known for her 2001 book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America\, a memoir of her three-month experiment surviving on a series of minimum-wage jobs. She was a recipient of a Lannan Literary Award.\n\nWe regret that there will be no children’s program during this service. Children’s programming will return on Sunday\, October 15.

SUMMARY:The Weeds Teach Me About Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Victoria Ingram\nI live “rurally-adjacent”. In my neighbourhood\, there are fields of definite\npurpose\, crops and orchards and grazing. But there are also expanses of land\nthat hold only wild flowers\, grasses\, thistles\, and shrubs – in other words\,\nweeds. With no human stewardship\, they grow\, bloom\, fruit\, and seed\,\ncoming back year after year. You can learn a lot from weeds – I have.\nThis Sunday\, I’ll share my insights.\n(We are especially delighted to have Rev. Ingram join us this Sunday for the first of a series of talks by her this year at UCG)

SUMMARY:Flower Communion
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date!  \nThe Flower Communion\, which is 100 years old this year\, is a cherished ceremony among UU congregations worldwide. It is a celebration of “beauty\, human uniqueness\, diversity\, and community” created in 1923 Norbert Čapek\, in Prague\, Czechoslovakia. As well as a celebration of the sixth principle (The goal of world community with peace\, liberty\, and justice for all)\, it’s also a welcome to summer and a (Temporary) farewell to our regular scheduled services until the fall. \nAn integral part of the communion is the sharing and distribution of flowers\, so please bring flowers from your garden if you will be at the sanctuary. The communion will be led by one of our Lay Chaplains\, Carey McDonald. \nFor more information on the Flower Communion\, here are some primers from the UUA on the ceremony and also the centennial: \nhttps://www.uua.org/worship/holidays/flower-ceremony \nhttps://www.uua.org/worship/lab/flower-ceremony-centennial \nNote that due to the after service social in the parking lot\, parking will be available on Harris Street and at Ferra Flooring (322 York Road). Hope to see you there! \nChildcare with our junior staff will be available on site at 122 Harris St. Guelph. \nFor the Zoom link\, please email admin@guelph-unitarians.com \nYouTube Link: https://youtu.be/A8zXhvo2vxM

SUMMARY:Walking the path of Reconciliation (Darin Wybenga)
DESCRIPTION:Prior to working with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation\, Darin Wybenga was an educator in elementary schools in Southern Ontario. Specializing as a teacher of history and geography\, he also served as a vice-principal and curriculum coordinator. In recent years\, Wybenga has worked for the MCFN as the Traditional Knowledge and Land Use Coordinator for the First Nation’s Department of Consultation and Accommodation. His work in the department primarily consists of educating project proponents about the history of the treaty lands\, territory\, and people of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. I will bring a few wampum belts with me and talk about the spirit of Reconciliation (as I see it) between First Nations and Settlers. If we walk down the path of reconciliation together in peace\, respect\, and friendship we will eventually reach por goal. Service Leaders: Margriet and Paul \n  \n\nPhotos provided

SUMMARY:Learning and Listening\, Solitude and Connection
DESCRIPTION:In the UUWellspring program focused on Sources\, we have explored the six sources of Unitarian Universalism\, meeting bi-monthly in a format that centers on a practice of deep listening. This Sunday\, join Hannah and Lorna and other members of the Sources group\, as we share some of what we have been learning through sitting together\, sometimes in silence. Deep listening catalyzes the profound connection between solitary reflection and communal interconnection\, and the results are mysterious and often joyful! \nChildcare with our junior staff will be available on site at 122 Harris St. Guelph.
