R EV . K AT E L ANDIS
My Wonderful Church Family,
Happy August! Somehow the relaxed month I had
expected has turned busy, but busy with such joyful
activities, I don’t mind a bit! The second week in August I am traveling to our beloved Seabeck Conference
Center to serve as chaplain for the Elliot Institute’s
first-ever Creative Arts Camp. I can hardly wait to
meet all the UU families writing, photographing,
making mosaics, and painting at beautiful Seabeck.
Also in August, our Worship Planning Team meets for a morning retreat
with a significant goal—choosing which monthly themes we will build worship around in 2014-2015. Over the last two years we have explored the
following themes: Journey, Witness, Gratitude, Wonder, Freedom, Loss,
Spiritual Practice, Faith, Justice, Mystery, Vision, Compassion, Grace, Sacred, Resilience, Forgiveness, Good and Evil, Hope and Fear, and Transcendence. What themes do you think we should explore this year? What
has captured your imagination? What ideas are moving your heart? Let me
know at [email protected]. I would love to hear what’s on your
mind!
Aside from my joy at the start of a new church year, I am feeling heavyhearted about our nation’s treatment of immigrant children at our border.
Regardless of how you feel about our immigration policy and deportation
system, regardless of your red, blue, or even green politics, the children being detained are no different from the smiling little ones I love to greet at
church on Sunday morning. They are OUR children: curious, afraid, playful,
and very vulnerable. How we handle this border crisis will reveal who we
are as a nation. More important to me, however, is how we as Unitarian
Universalists respond to these little souls.
The first principle of Unitarian Universalism is that all people have inherent
worth and dignity. Not just adults, not just Caucasians, not just those of us
with roofs over our heads—we all matter. We are all worthy of safety and
sustenance. This call for justice is echoed in the Christian Bible, in five distinct narratives in five different books. My favorite is a story attributed to
the prophet Jesus, in which he says that in the end times he will return to
earth and separate humanity into two groups. Jesus says ‘Come, you that
are blessed by God, for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty
and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed
me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of
me, I was in prison and you visited me.’
The people blessed said ‘When was it that we saw you hungry and gave you

July Board Meeting Report
Present: Karen Thompson (presiding), Laura Morghon, Paul Bormann, Lauren Ploskey, Adam Griffith, and Carolyn Threadgill, Rev.
Kate Landis; Absent: Bill Roach
Review Financial Policies: Paul Borrmann reviewed SUUC’s financial policies with the Board. The Finance Committee has improved the soundness and transparency of these policies. The SUUC Treasurer will no longer be a signer on
any church accounts. SUUC fundraising policy now clearly requires all non-Operating Fund fundraisers (that are not run
by Religious Education) to require Board approval. All committees can request non-Operating Fund fundraiser approval
from the Board.
More Padded Chairs to Be Ordered: The SUUC Board has approved the purchase of approximately 25 new padded
chairs for use in the Sanctuary and Chrysalis building in response to the needs of the congregation and renters; some
chairs will have armrests to help accommodate those with mobility issues. Paul motioned for the Board to approve up to $2,200
for the purchase of more padded chairs, including some with armrests. Karen Thompson seconded the motion. The Board unanimously approved the motion.
District Day: Saturday September 27, 2014 is our UUA District Day. Our region’s UU leaders will be running a variety
of valuable leadership and skills-building workshops. Our own Rev. Kate Landis will be teaching a workshop there. Registration and event details to be published in a future Soundings. Scholarships for interested SUUC members who want
to attend were discussed.
Building Assessment Committee Next Steps: The hardworking Building Assessment Committee is continuing to
reach out to all SUUC members who have not yet returned a survey with their opinions on the renovation of the Chrysalis building. Phone call reminders will start soon for those that have not responded after the initial follow-up email.
This committee is also researching prefab building costs and zoning and building codes.
Stewardship Committee Update: This committee is currently recruiting hosts for house meetings this fall. The member loans that were approved by the SUUC Board at the May meeting have all been processed. Budget requests from
committees are also being collected for next year.
Celebration Sundays Discussion: The Welcome Committee requested Board feedback on the new tradition of Celebration Sundays. The Board believes the congregation is enjoying the sharing of the milestones in the lives of members
in our community and the addition of the monthly treat during after-service coffee.
Special Thanks from the Board: The SUUC Board wrote thank you notes to Richard Graves in appreciation of his
work maintaining the SUUC lawn and grounds and to Laura Westbrook for her leadership in grounds upkeep and organizing work parties this summer.

Do You Like to Make Art?
For our fall art display in the Sanctuary hallway, we would like to have a group show! Any
medium is fine, as long as the piece can be hung in our space. Do you have a photograph,
water color, sketch, small quilt, or weaving that you would like to show off? Maybe a collage, mask or assemblage piece? If you are interested, or know some other SUUC member
or friend who might have something to contribute, please contact Laurie in the office,
206-363-7994 or [email protected]. Any kind of original artwork is welcomed; don’t
be shy! We want to continue the visual enhancement of our walls as much as possible and
display the work of our many talented members and friends.

Money Talks – August 2014
Halfway Through the Year
Last December when I presented the Board-recommended budget to you,
I insisted that our fundamental financial condition is sound. But I described several deferred needs that would demand significant chunks of
future budgets. Staff salary increases, growing maintenance needs as our
Dome ages, and repairing or replacing Chrysalis are among the needs that
resulted in our recommendation – and your agreement – that the Membership Activity Coordinator position be ended on June 30, 2014. It was
further noted that the congregation’s modest growth would need to continue if we were to be able to meet those needs while maintaining the current staffing levels.
So, how are we doing? Very well, thank you.
Most income categories are running ahead of budgeted amounts. Chief
among them are the 12 pledges by new members, for more than twice the
budgeted amount. These plus the 120 pledges made in last fall’s stewardship campaign bring us to a total number of pledging units well over any
previous year’s total, and give reason to be optimistic that our income is
indeed growing. As our Personnel Committee is working on recommendations for staff salary increases, this means that our 2015 budget will likely be able to respond positively (to some degree) to whatever the Committee recommends. Meanwhile, our expenses are running very close to
budget.
Of course, the good financial news is merely a reflection of SUUC’s continued growth in many other respects. New and re-energized activities are
popping up almost weekly. I can also report that the needed uptick in volunteer activity, cited by many last December as crucial to fill the workload
of the Membership staff position, is definitely happening. The Welcome
Team (the re-incarnation of the Membership Committee) has many new
members and has been doing a fantastic job, not only in taking over existing tasks but also initiating creative ideas like the monthly Celebration
Sundays. Well done, everybody!

background in education, third world development, and holistic health. As
a college student, she worked as a volunteer in Haiti, spending her 18th
birthday working with Mother Theresa’s order at the “House for the Destitute and the Dying.” By the time she was 20, she was a public school
high school teacher and then a Peace Corps volunteer in Micronesia. She
spent her 30s in the business world and starting a family. Soon after turning 40 she received a spiritual call to serve in ministry. Today she is busy
with seminary, her family, and serving as a Shamanic Conscious Medium.
A Beautiful Bouquet
of Flowers!
Are you the kind
of person who
tends to notice
flowers? Do you
notice them in a
pot or vase? Do
you notice them
in our church
space? Beloved
Community, as
we transition this summer into our
new church year in the fall, please consider: ADOPT A SUNDAY for
FLOWERS! Consider dedicating your
gift to honor someone you love, or
something you care about. We can
explore ideas together!
If this opportunity to participate calls
out to you, please sign up in the back
of the church, or contact Peggy
Williams Scott, for the Worship Planning Committee, 206-331-2729 or
[email protected] .

R ELIGIOUS E XPLORATION
C HRIS P OLLIN A – D IRECTOR
OF
R ELIGIOUS E XPLORATION
Hello all! I hope you have all been enjoying the nice hot summer days we’ve been having and
that those of you with children or work that changes substantially in the summer have been
enjoying the many contrasts this season provides. In light of there being relatively few people
willing to take on opening up and closing tasks for our monthly second Friday family potlucks
and the difficulty for many people to make it to church on a Friday evening, we’re going to try
switching this month’s family potluck to take place after church on Sunday, August 17, directly
following church. Just bring along a dish, come out to the orchard after you’ve gotten some
coffee, and continue the conversation and fun outdoors!
Please note, our annual Ingathering Service is on Sunday, September 7. While this is still some
time away, I mention it now because in order to make it a meaningful and rich service, there’s
preparation for each of you to do in advance. We ask everyone to gather a small amount of water that has some significance to you (ocean water from a trip to the coast, water from your rain barrel to symbolize time you spent in the garden, etc.) to mix with everyone else’s water during the Gathering of the Waters ritual this day.
Finally, as we move closer to the beginning of the school year (and I imagine there are many demands on you and your
children’s time), I invite you to consider the following thoughts by Roger A. Cowan:
“ ‘She brought forth her first-born son, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, for there was no
room for them in the Inn.’ That inn has become the most famous of all inns…not because of what happened there but
because of what MIGHT have happened there and didn’t. So it has become a kind of symbol, a parable of your life and
mine. Why is so much of life like Bethlehem’s inn? Why does so much of love and goodness in our world, of hope and
possibility, get shut out? The most obvious reason is that the inn was already full. Those who arrived first were served
first. The innkeeper wasn’t mean-spirited. Others got there first, the place was full, and that was that.”
I invite you all to reflect on the value of leaving space in your life. Leave empty times, aimless times, times set aside to
revel in the sacred and celebrate the qualities of life that aren’t productive, that don’t lead to material success, but nurture and sustain the deeper, more intangible aspects of our lives. Spirituality can not be multitasked!
I hope you all enjoy this last month of summer!
—Chris Pollina/[email protected]
Upcoming Events
Sunday, August 17 – Family Potluck, noon-2 p.m.
A monthly kid-friendly potluck. Please note the time/date change this month; we’re going to see how having the potluck after church works instead of having it on a Friday night.
Sunday, September 7 – Gathering of the Waters Intergenerational Worship
We ask everyone to gather a small amount of water that has some significance to you (ocean water from a trip to the
coast, water from your rain barrel to symbolize time you spent in the garden, etc.) to mix with everyone else’s water
during the Gathering of the Waters ritual this day.
Please remember to make an appointment to have your free pictures taken
at Yuen Lui Studio (523-5707) for our new Member’s Photo Directory!
Social Action Committee Meeting, August 24
The August meeting of the Social Action Committee will be on Sunday,
August 24, after church and coffee time, starting at noon in Chrysalis.
Likely topics to be discussed are:

Final report on Rain Garden completion and publicity.

Final report on Children’s RE summer social action project.

Progress report and future plans for support of the campaign for the
November vote on Initiative 594, to enact universal background checks
for gun sales in Washington.

Report on activities to support countering Supreme Court decisions
disallowing regulation of political campaign financing in the name of
free speech (for big private economic interests). The signature gathering
campaign for WA Initiative 1329 failed, but there may nevertheless be a
vote in Congress to move on a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to restore Congressional and states’ ability to regulate political election campaign financing by wealthy individuals and big corporations. Discussion
of the various relevant Congressional bills and actions—and also of the
Fair Elections Now Act (Dick Durbin’s Senate bill 2023) for federal
election campaign financing.

Report and discussion of “green justice” advocacy activities: coal trains,
oil trains, a carbon tax in Washington State, supporting the administration and EPA rules on coal plant CO2 emissions, fossil fuel divestment

Report on Food Lifeline volunteer nights.

Looking ahead to annual justice summit of NWUUJN expected this
fall.

Budget request for SAC in annual church budget?

Open discussion of other topics or business.
The September Social Action meeting will be on Sunday, September 28,
same time and place.

makes this style of yoga so healing and
unique. Perfect for beginners or students who have tried other types of
yoga. The series is free of charge but
pre-registration is appreciated. To preregister, please email Shelley Curtis at
[email protected].
SUUC Women’s Circle
We Care!!
Are you going through a tough time in
your life when a little help could ease
your burden? You are part of our caring community, so don’t hesitate to ask
for help! Our Care Team is ready to
help coordinate support from within
the church community, including rides,
brief respite care, support for caregivers, light housecleaning, and meals
during a crisis—or to help you locate
support services outside of church. If
you need assistance, leave a confidential message with Laurie in the church
office at 206-363-7994 or
[email protected] and she will
relay it to the Care Team coordinators
for August. Please allow the Care
Team 48-72 hours to reply (72 hrs. for
messages left Friday or Saturday). If a
more pressing need should arise,
please contact Rev. Kate directly. (We
are phasing out the Care Team email
address previously posted as a contact
route.)
Meets Saturday, August 2, 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Sandy
Powers will be our guest leader. She is a Life Coach and
has done individual coaching, facilitated groups and
workshops for 20 years. Her other workshops have included developing intuition, dream boards as healing
tools, listening to life—learning to read the symbols and
signs around us. Sandy is the presenter for our six
month class starting on September 17 (see announcement below). There
will be an opportunity to donate to her. Here is her introduction to our
time together in August.
Exploring the Mystery of the Medicine Wheel
“Death has a way of tearing down the walls we’ve built to protect us
and open us up in ways we never imagined. That’s what happened to
me in 1992 when my mother died. A postcard she received after her
death changed my life forever. It was then, this Scottish girl learned
about the power and gift of the Medicine Wheel and the 4 directions.
On August 2, we will learn how the Medicine Wheel, an ancient symbol used by civilizations for thousands of years, is able to serve our
life today.
Please bring an object that represents the essence of who you are to
the meeting. We will be placing the object in the center of the circle
for the duration of the meeting.”
New Class Beginning in September
Chamber Music Group
Calling all musicians who want to
play chamber music for fun: we will
be meeting Friday, August 15, 6-9
p.m. in the Sanctuary. All skill levels
and instruments (including voice) are
welcome. The less accomplished
musicians will be able to play at the
beginning of this time and the more
accomplished musicians will be able
to play a little later in the evening. If
you plan to participate, please contact
Barbara Rader, 206-898-5403 or
[email protected], to let her know
what instrument you play and your
approximate skill level.
Darrell and Cheryl Udd are bringing a wonderful Life Coach friend, Sandy
Powers, to the church for a course called, “Compassionate Listening – a
Course for Self-Healing,” which Sandy developed over 20 years from individual coaching, facilitating groups and workshops.
The class will meet the third Wednesdays of these months; September,
October, November, February, March, and April, from 7 to 9 p.m. Light
food will be provided.
Sandy works for Providence Hospice serving as the volunteer manager,
overseeing 800 - 1000 hospice volunteers in the Olympia, Seattle and Everett areas. Her training here at SUUC will include the aspects of selfawareness, self-knowledge and self-care. She says her course will help people become aware of the unlimited love, peace, and joy that reside in their
hearts. This course will be interesting to men and women. She will ask for
donations only. If you would like to help with building cost, you may contribute $5 per night per person. Please email Cheryl at
[email protected] if you can attend and she will add you to her mailing list to receive updates.
(Minister’s Message, continued from page 1)
food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we
saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And
when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ Jesus replies:
‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these—who are members of my family—you did it to me.’
Then Jesus speaks to the other group, saying: ‘You that are accursed, depart
from me into the eternal fire, for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I
was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did
not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison
and you did not visit me.’
The cursed reply: ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ Then he
will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least
of these, you did not do it to me. And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’
As a spiritual seeker who is not a Christian, I understand this narrative as a
parable, a made-up story with an important real-life lesson. We each get to
choose: do we help the hungry, greet the stranger, visit the prisoner? If so,
then we have built heaven on this earth. But if we ignore these holy beings
among us, these nation-less children, if we miss their sacredness because of
their rags, then we have built hell in our world.
The other lesson from this parable is that every person is important as the
teacher Jesus. Every child on the border is equal to our greatest teachers:
Jesus, Siddhartha, Julian of Norwich, Gandhi, Muhammad. For whatever we
do to the least of these people—the people ignored and abused, forgotten and
afraid—we do to all of humanity.
So what will we do? In what direction is your heart leading you? Perhaps you
are inspired to give supplies or money to an organization helping children at
the border, like Border Kids Relief Project. Perhaps you are moved to join a
Standing on the Side of Love campaign of direct action, or to contact your
elected leaders and tell them to protect these vulnerable children. The White
House number is 866-473-5915. Regardless of what action you take, you must
do something.
The must-have t-shirt at General Assembly this year said “Unitarian Universalists—Let’s love the hell out of this world.” Let’s stand up for the suffering
kids, and love the hell right out of our world. I hope you have a love-filled
August.
SUUC Evening Book
Group Reads
God’s Hotel
The reading for the
August 6 meeting of
the Evening Book
Group (aka “The Owls
of Minerva”) is God’s
Hotel by Victoria Sweet. This is the
story of the physician author’s 20
years at San Francisco’s Laguna
Honda Hospital, the last almshouse
hospital in the country, a descendent of the medieval hospice or
hospital, which could be found in
each major European cities and
which was called “Hotel
Dieu” (God’s Hotel). (Judi Kalitzki
and Bob Beekman just visited the
Hotel Dieu in Paris and the very
beautiful and interesting Hotel
Dieu in the town of Beaune in Burgundy.) Sound interesting? Come to
our discussion on Wednesday,
August 6, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., in
the Conference Room.
Looking ahead, our book selection
for September will be Lawrence in
Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and
the Making of the Modern Middle East
by Scott Anderson. Fascinating!
Anyone is welcome to join our
discussion meeting on the first
Wednesday of each month —even
if you haven’t finished reading the
book for the month!
For further information, contact
Bob Beekman, 206-527-7340,
