Staying When it’s Uncomfortable by Marianna Seaton, Director of Lay Ministry * [email protected]

“Rarely can a response make something better, what makes something better is connection,” says Dr. Brene’ Brown, research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. “Empathy fuels connection, sympathy drives dis-connection,” says Brown. Sometimes, we are in the habit of “running away” in uncomfortable situations by using old platitudes that are sympathetic, and which stifle unease. Staying when it’s uncomfortable means that we have to slow down and listen to our soft spot within. “In order to connect with you, I have to connect with something within myself that knows that feeling,” says Dr. Brown. Old stand-by phrases like “Time heals all wounds” no longer work when we commit to responding with empathy. Here are some alternative choices when connecting with someone grieving the loss of a loved one: Instead of: “Time heals all wounds” Try instead: “What would feel healing/helpful to you right now?” “What do you need most today?” Instead of: “Let go, move on” “You think too much about him, that’s why you’re sad.” “If you just let go, you could get on with your life.” Try instead: “I’ll walk by your side through this.” “Tell me about (fill in person’s name).” “What was he like?” “What do you miss the most?” Instead of: “Everything happens for a reason.” Try instead: “I’m sorry, it’s just not fair.” Instead of: Any sentence beginning with “at least.” “At least she didn’t suffer.” “At least he lived to an old age.” “At least you were blessed to have her at all.” Try instead: “I miss him too, I wish he was here with us” “What’s your favorite memory of her?” “What helps you feel closest to him, when you miss him the most?” Staying, and responding with empathy is a spiritual practice; it grows our soul and nurtures our connection with one another. Buddhist teacher, Pema Chodron, says that staying with the soft spot in difficult circumstances, where it’s vulnerable and as tender as an open wound, makes us kinder and more open to what scares us. It’s a choice that awakens our hearts and minds.



Please join us in a celebration of life for long time member, Leland Mebine. A memorial service will be held at Horizon on Saturday, February 15th at 10:00am. A cookie and coffee reception will follow. And in the spirit of love and compassion that binds us, choose someone at home, work, or in our church community who might heal a little bit this week because you offered to listen with an open heart and connect with them in a deeper way. Let me know how it goes Our Pastoral Caregivers work with the Minister and the Neighborhood Groups in a spirit of cooperation to cherish and care for the members of our congregation. If you or your loved ones are in need of a sympathetic ear, the Pastoral Caregivers are available. Call Rev. Dennis Hamilton at 972-519-8187, or Marianna Seaton, Director of Lay Ministry at 972-743-1599 or e-mail [email protected].

FUTURE SUNDAYS Horizon encourages you to attend weekly worship here within your community,

on Sundays at 10:30AM

February 16 “Staying Engaged” Rev. Hamilton Getting down on one knee and asking for someone to make a lifetime commitment can be terrifying and wonderful at the same time. Saying “yes” is equally wonderful and terrifying. Well Life is proposing to you, to each of us. Life is offering us the commitment of being with us until the end. Life is asking if you will say “yes” and enter into a sacred, life-long relationship. What would that mean to you? What would it demand? What would it offer? “Until death do us part,” is offered. What will you say?

February 23 “Staying Awake” Rev. Hamilton In his poem, “Summons,” by Robert Francis, he implores us to

Keep me from going to sleep too soon Or if I go to sleep too soon Come wake me up. Come any hour Of night. Come whistling up the road. Stomp on the porch. Bang on the door. Make me get out of bed and come And let you in and light a light.

I just read that 40% of our actions are habitual. I think that is low. Gurdief said we are sleep-walking through life. Anthropologists observe how cultural norms predict most of our behavior. What’s it like to be awake? Really awake?



Share the Plate for Sunday 16 FEB 2014 Horizon has a collection for non-profit organizations

once a month during our worship service.

The recipient of this month’s Share the Plate will be The Innocence Project. The Innocence Project of Texas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to securing the release of those wrongfully convicted of crimes in Texas and educating the public about the causes and effects of wrongful convictions.

Currently there are over 150,000 people in the Texas prison system. Even at a modest 1% wrongful conviction rate there are over 1,500 men and women behind bars at this very moment who do not belong there. We receive over 100 letters a week requesting our assistance and have over 500 cases in line for investigation.

1) All undesignated cash (not in envelope with instructions) will go to Share the Plate; 2) Checks MUST be made to Horizon UU with a memo Share-The-Plate or STP to be counted toward the donations for that day; 3) Undesignated checks without instructions are assumed to be donations to the church or to fulfill pledges; 4) This is our Horizon's primary source of funds for outreach into the world.

A Note from the DLRE * By Lauren Daniell * [email protected]

Summer UU Activities for Adults, Families,

Children, and Teens These recent spring-like temperatures have got me thinking about the upcoming summer season. If your family is like mine, you are already planning your summer schedule and it’s only mid-February! Luckily, we live in an area full of UU camps for children and teens, and you can even venture outside of Texas to participate in some UU trips and conferences with your family! Here is a brief listing of what’s available this summer for UUs of all ages. I’d love for you to let me know if your family will participate in any of these activities so I can put you together with other travelers from the region to arrange carpools, etc.: [email protected] Yours in Faith,

Lauren

“Spirit in Practice” with Tina Ulakovic

Organizational meeting Tuesday, March 4th 7:30 pm

Do you have a spiritual practice? “Spirit in Practice” is a class designed for those who don’t yet participate in our yoga or Buddhist Sangha groups, or who wish to explore a variety of spirtual practices. This class will help Unitarian Universalists identify their spiritual needs and develop regular disciplines, or practices, of the spirit—practices that help them connect with the Sacred, with other people, and with their inner selves.



“A Long Strange Trip: The Complete Video Guide to Unitarian Universalist History”

Part II – The Birth of Unitarianism (1553 - 1794)

Two showings:

Sunday, March 9th 12:30-2:00 pm OR Wednesday, March 12th 7:30-9:00pm Horizon Library Fellowship Hall

The second installment chronicles those who carried on Servetus’ message after his martyrdom, primarily Faustus Socinus and Georgio Biandrata, and how they carried his message forward to religious liberals in Poland and Transylvania. It documents the influence of Servetus, Socinus, Dávid Ferenc, and various Polish Unitarians on the early English religious liberals such as John Biddle and Thomas Emlyn, and the work of Theophilus Lindsey and Joseph Priestley in forming an organized English Unitarianism. It discusses the split between the Arian and Socinian Unitarians in England. It mentions the early feminist work of the Unitarian Mary Wollstonecraft. It concludes with the emigration of Joseph Priestley from England to America in 1794.The same segment will be shown twice to accommodate members’ schedules. Close-captioned.

Campout News * By Paul Nelson * [email protected]

Spring Campout April 25-27

at Eisenhower State Park

It’s 40F in the garage, 17F outside, with snow flurries, so naturally we are thinking forward to late

April, when the vegetation will be green, flowers will be in full bloom and the weather should be mild.

Perfect time for camping!

Horizon will join Community UU church for the spring camp out April 25-27 at Eisenhower State

Park. We have reserved all of the shelters in the Deer Haven campground. All UUs from the

NTUUC congregations are invited.

Full disclosure: This is the same weekend as the SWUUC Annual Meeting/Conference, but it posed

the fewest conflicts with other weekend events.

Announcements

Elva Roy (member of Pathways UU/Board member of nonprofit Funeral Consumers Alliance

of North Texas “FCANT”) and Jim Bates (Board President of FCANT www.fcant.org) are

hosting a “Death Over Dinner” event to encourage individuals and families to discuss death

and what should happen when you or your loved one dies. The purpose of this event is to

take the “taboo” out of the death discussion.

Elva and Jim will conduct a fun and lively discussion about various options available to a family

when someone dies, such as

(1) Do It Yourself home funerals where families take care of their own dead, with little or no

involvement of a funeral home which is perfectly legal in Texas and is becoming more popular;

(2) green burials (what it is, cemeteries with a green section, requirements, etc.);

(3) least to most expensive arrangements with price estimates;

(4) discussion of the federal FTC “Funeral Rule” and your consumer rights when dealing with

funeral homes; Q&A.

During the second hour, while eating, you will be encouraged to discuss your experiences and

thoughts about death with your table mates. Bring your family. No charge, except you will pay for

your own meal.
