NC CLIMATE JUSTICE SUMMIT, November 21-23, Haw River State Park
The NC Climate Justice Summit (NCCJS) is the first statewide gathering of youth and adult community leaders
focused on connecting the dots between social justice issues and climate change and answering these questions:
How do we manifest climate justice in North Carolina?
How can we make all of our communities more resilient?
We will explore how climate change impacts our food, water, energy, housing, transportation, health and economy in NC. Together, we will name the problems and identify emerging solutions. Together, we will build new
community connections and skills that will support us to do the work of building the world we want to live in.
It is time to Re-imagine. Resist. Reform. Re-Create. It is time for the NC Climate Justice Summit! For more
information and to register, please go to: acespace.org/NCClimateJusticeSummit. At United Church, you are
also able to speak with Nadia Sheppard ([email protected]) for more information.
GOD IS STILL SPEAKING,
Taizé Worship Service
Tonight (7 pm)
Adult Forum: Witness for Peace
Southeast (10 am, Fellowship Hall)
Witness for Peace Southeast is a grassroots non-profit
organization that works to promote peace, justice and
sustainable economies in the Americas. Each fall, we
organize a tour with a Latin American speaker who is
personally affected by U.S. policies and corporate
practices in their home country.
This year's tour features Julia Vallejos, a Nicaraguan
fair trade advocate credited as a founding member of
Masilí; a free trade zone factory. Julia will give her
perspectives on how free trade policies and U.S. corporate practices have affected her community and the
choices we as consumers can make to support alternative trade models like Masilí.
Taizé is a style of Christian
worship that originated in Taizé,
France, some 75 years ago.
It is woven with Christian song
and chants, interspersed with prayerful silence,
scripture reading, more song, more prayer, and more
silence. The effiect is profound and takes one deeper,
beyond intellect, into the very heart of worship. Be
prepared to walk away from the experience refreshed,
renewed, and at peace.
You will find that Taizé worship will satisfy the
longing of your heart to be filled with God’s presence.

Book Readings and Events on
Touchdowns for Jesus and Other Signs of
Apocalypse:
Lifting the Veil on Big-Time Sports
By Marcia W. Mount Shoop
Why do sports matter to so many
people? And why should we care?
Theologian and football coach’s
wife, Marcia Mount Shoop, invites you to take a closer look at
the hold that sports have on us.
This book takes you beneath the veil in some of the
most challenging issues in sports today: fanaticism,
sexism, racism, and abuse of power. And beneath the
lifted veil you also encounter wisdom about how we
can find our way back to what is most life giving about
sports. If you love sports or if you just wonder why
others do, Touchdowns for Jesus will give you a whole
new way to view the games people play.

FIVE MINUTES CAN CHANGE A
CHURCH
Here are some ways we can do an even better job of
extending an authentic, extravagant welcome to all:
⇒ Greet people – visitors and members. Don’t
leave it to the ushers or the extroverts! And
don’t worry that someone may tell you they’ve
been here for forty years. Just share your name
and ask for theirs. Simple is good.
⇒ After worship, invite them to join you for
coffee hour. Accompany them there if they
accept. Introduce them to a couple more people.
⇒ Look around in the Fellowship Hall.
Is anyone sitting alone? Standing off to the
side? Go speak. Ask if you can get them some
food. Talk about the weather, sports, the kids
running around on the stage — whatever. No
super-intrusive questions, but asking if they
live here or where they work or how they
found us is fine.

drums, will offer a concert on Saturday evening at Iglesia Unida de

and join us for Stone Soup. We’ll sit down and
enjoy a bowl of soup together while all of our
pledges are counted. We will start serving soup at
10:45 am for early service attenders.
We suggest that you bring (chopped and ready to
go) onions, leeks, carrots, celery, and canned diced
tomatoes by 9:30 am. Fellowship Board is providing bread. Please no: potatoes, hard beans, or meat
for the soup.

SOUP:
2015 FLOWER
CALENDAR
the story
Once upon a time, somewhere in post-war
times, there was a great famine in which people
jealously hoarded whatever food they could find,
hiding it even from their friends and neighbors.
One day a wandering soldier came into a village
and began asking questions as if he planned to
stay for the night. “There's not a bite to eat in
the whole province,” he was told. “Better keep
moving on.”
FALLING INTO GOD: EXPERIENCES IN
CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY
A 7-part series with The Rev. David Frazelle
Thursdays, October 30 - December 18, from
5:30-7 pm, at The Chapel of the Cross, 304
East Franklin St., Chapel Hill, NC
All are welcome to attend! This course is intended
for anyone who desires a dynamic, intimate, transformative relationship with God. The purpose is to
cultivate that relationship within a spiritual community. There is no pre-requisite or prior experience
necessary. We will explore contemplative prayer
with Scripture, interior image, interior word, icons,
sound and silence, Christian yoga, and sacraments.
“Oh, I have everything I need,” he said. “In fact,
I was thinking of making some stone soup to
share with all of you.” He pulled an iron cauldron from his wagon, filled it with water, and
built a fire under it. Then, with great ceremony,
he drew an ordinary-looking stone from a velvet
bag and dropped it into the water. The villagers
asked if they might try some of the soup -- “yes,
if you bring a vegetable for the pot you may
have a bowl.” Soon the pot was thick with delicious vegetables and they all enjoyed “Soup fit
for a King!”
Do you have a special day to remember?
A friend or family member you’d like to honor?
A special anniversary or birthday
to celebrate?
If so, consider volunteering to provide the
flowers for the church altar that enrich our
Sunday worship.
“Many Hands Make Light Work”
Volunteers sign-up on the 2015 Flower
Calendar, which is on a stand in the church
Narthex.
Please help with Stone Soup on November 2. We need volunteers to help set-up at 10 am and
help with clean-up around 1 pm. If you can help, please let us know by...
About registration. The fee for the course is $25.
Participants may register and pay online at
www.friendsofChristschool.com or by completing
and mailing a registration form and check. Additional information is located on the Friends of
Christ School for Christian Spirituality website.
The Rev. David Frazelle serves as a priest at The
Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, where he is responsible for adult education, youth ministry, 20's
and 30's ministry, and Centering Prayer, among
other things. David learned contemplative prayer
practices as an undergraduate at Sewanee. He then
earned a degree in Biblical Studies at the Institut
Catholique de Paris, and his MDiv from Virginia
Theological Seminary in Alexandria. Following a
five-month “ordination retreat” from Maine to
Georgia on the Appalachian Trail, David began
parish ministry in 2004. He is now enrolled in the
“Leading Contemplative Prayer Groups and Retreats” program of the Shalem Institute for Spiritual
Formation in Washington, DC.
