Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Speaker — Wendy Bartlett
Leader — Brian Moore
Title — A Free and Responsible Search for Truth and Meaning
Topic –As Unitarian Universalists, we hold our Fourth Principle close to our hearts. Increasingly though, bookbanning efforts by special interest groups have challenged our ability, and the ability of our children, to read and learn freely. Wendy Bartlett, Collection Development and Acquisitions Manager for Cuyahoga County Public Library, will speak on why this new wave of book banning challenges is particularly pernicious, and what we as UUs can do about it.
Wendy Bartlett has served as the Collection Development & Acquisitions Manager for Cuyahoga County Public Library since 2008. Wendy graduated from the Unitarian Universalist House of Studies with a Master of Divinity degree. She is involved with social justice issues including anti-racism and LGBTQ concerns. She lives with her grown-up son, a cat, and a grandcat in Fairlawn, Ohio.

Speaker — Rev. Dr. Elaine Strawn
Title — “Three Old Rich Guys Visit the Baby”
Topic — Zoroastrians read the sky; Hindus go on spiritual retreat after raising a family and retiring.

Bio — Elaine served as the settled minister in the UU Fellowship of Wayne County in Wooster for 23 years before semi-retiring. She now co-chairs the regional Commissioned Lay Ministry Council and offers Spiritual Direction to a wide variety of people. Walking, gardening and tai chi keep her grounded and inspired.”

Leader — Reed Richmond
Speaker — Luke Beekman
Title — The Persistence of Vision with Mankind
Topic — Exploring narratives and teachings in culture, we wander the path of the visionary.

Let’s walk the path of a vision, taking one step at a time, as we try to understand and realize the potential of our visionary lives.
Bio — Luke Beekman is a local resident in Downtown Mansfield, with a background in creative writing, music and film. Having founded the nonprofit Mankind Murals Inc in 2015, has recently become a painter by trade, and is focused on creating opportunities for public art to thrive.

In World War I, enemy forces left the safety of the trenches on Christmas Eve, 1914, to sing, to honor the dead, to create peace and discover the meaning of Christmas together. In this further development of Chris Truce presentation last year, you are invited to sing, to pray, and to let go of grief and anxiety. We do this during the darkest weeks of the year in expectation of new life, light and peace. We bring a new life, love, warmth, surprise and humor like a sacred fire from within. (This is also a preparation for the sacred fire later in the day, if you would like to join in)
Note: The Sacred Fire Ceremony will take place at Sacred Stones Mystical Farm following the service. Potluck Lunch at 1:00PM and the Ceremony will start at 2:00. More information to follow as the date approaches.
