February 21, 2010
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Invictus
The Rev. Dr. Paul S. Johnson
On this twentieth anniversary of Nelson Mandela's release from prison, a film of the above title portrays his unconquerable spirit and how it inspired the predominantly white South African national rugby team to win the World Cup and thus serve as a means of national unity. The poem, "Invictus," a favorite of Mandela during his 27-year imprisonment was written from a hospital bed by English poet William Ernest Henley in 1875. Henley and Mandela have much to teach us.
Music Notes: Music this morning will include Invictus in a setting by Carl Nygard, Jr. and a Dawson setting of "Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit," in the choir's continued celebration of Black History Month.

Re-claiming Salvation
The Rev. Jennifer L. Brower
Salvation: n. the preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil. By what means might we experience salvation? What difference would it make in our lives? And if we stake our rightful claim on salvation wouldn’t we have to claim sin as ours, too? Join us this Sunday morning for a service of spoken word and song offered by our choir and special guest musicians. I look forward to seeing you then.
Music Notes: Bluegrass returns to Shelter Rock!! This morning we welcome special musical guests Mimi LaValley, guitar; David Moore, banjo; and Rob Hecht, fiddle, as they bring us the songs; Jim Shank, Sail Away Ladies, and Anchored in Love (Carter Family). The UUCSR Choir will present its final presentation in celebration of Black History Month: Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday.”

The Never-Ending Wave
Women's Group & Anne Bancroft, Intern Minister
I am honored to join the UUCSR Women’s Group to present the service on March 7th. Our theme this year is a response to the New York Times Magazine of August 24, 2009: Why Women’s Rights are the Cause of Our Times. The issue argues that “the well-being of women around the world is the key to progress, national security, development and health.” What does that mean for UUCSR? And what does it suggest for the future of our children – both girls and boys?
This is a multi-generational Service, which means we begin our worship all together – children, youth and adults. Willow, the women’s a cappella choir, will be joining us along with the Young People’s Choir. We are so looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!

Visioning Our Future
The Rev. Dr. Paul S. Johnson
Five years ago our congregation envisioned what we might accomplish together over the next 10 years. At the half-way point I would like to share where I believe we stand in terms of our vision as a prelude to congregational conversations on the issue. We’ll also mark member anniversaries in five-year increments and launch our 2010-2011 pledge drive.
Music Notes: The UUCSR Choir will present two choir favorites, Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday” and Randall Thompson’s “Choose Something Like a Star“ (on a text by Robert Frost), under the direction of guest conductor, Geoffrey MacDonald.
