Lessons from Nature

Speaker: Richard Dube


Richard Dube will be in the pulpit. Richard considers himself an interpretive naturalist. It is going to be another wonderful Sunday morning, at UUCC, not to be missed.

Richard's philosophy is if you want to understand the creator, look at the creation.

An aside, you may be asking yourself, why does his name seem so familiar? Richard volunteered to be the auctioneer, for the fund raiser Terry Beale organized for us. His photography has graced the walls of the church. Author of both fiction and nonfiction books and poetry, musician, teacher, administrator, philosopher, Richard has a web site under the name NatureDan.com.

Let’s Talk About RE!

UUCC is searching for a new Religious Education Coordinator. A search committee has been appointed composed of Jan Brookes, Gary Beale, and Brianne Brucker Derveloy. Our committee has engaged with an RE consultant from the UUA, and met with UUCC's RE committee, and we are working through the steps required to hire a new "CRE". A search like this typically takes around 3 months, so our target is to hire a new RE Coordinator by the end of this year.

In order to solicit the congregation's input on what UUCC's families want and need from RE, we are planning an event called "Let’s Talk About RE". It will feature Reverend Nancy Combs-Morgan, who is the UUA Southeast Region's expert on all things UU RE. The event will take place Wednesday evening, 10/15 at 6:00 PM in UUCC's social hall. Children are welcome contributors to this conversation, and child care will be provided as well. Pizza will be served, including gluten free and vegan options. Dessert will be "potluck". This is a congregation-wide conversation, so please come and offer your thoughts and hear the latest update on our RE Coordinator search.

Questions? Please email DRE@uucc.org.

Please come enjoy some pizza with other UU families, and tell us about your hopes for RE in 2026!

Oct/Nov Art on the Walls:
Threads of Fall
An exhibit by UUCC members and friends

Art on the Walls presents “Threads of Fall,” an exhibit of 6 fiber art works by UUCC members and friends. The exhibit opens Sunday October 5 and continues through November. The artists have interpreted this season’s burst of orange, yellow, and red using fabric and yarn.
Fiber artists Emily Compton, Cindy Collins, Jen Horning, Beau Miller-Palmer, Carol Hobbs, and Jody Borochoff evoke the beauty of fall with stitched, woven, or knitted creations. The exhibit is rounded out with a large collaged canvas of leaves and pumpkins created by the RE class of 5 to 10 year olds. Photographs from members’ collections add additional color to the exhibit.
