On the Path

by Rev. Bill Gupton

We said goodbye to summer – and hello to fall – with a bang (or was it a splash?) on August 25, with our annual Ingathering Sunday worship service, our water ceremony, a lovely picnic potluck outside, and . . . a dunking booth! Yours truly, along with my colleague Rev. Leslie (it was her idea) took the plunge as folks lined up to toss balls at a target that released one of your church leaders (Board President Jim Nolan also graciously joined in) into a few hundred gallons of water.

Speaking only for myself, I must say getting dunked was a very fun way to start the new season at Heritage Church! From the gorgeous, cooler weather to the truly intergenerational atmosphere of the day to the return of our Choir to the taste of baked beans and potato chips to the face-painting and temporary tattoos (thank you Eva Sofge!) to the joy on a child’s face when they hit the bulls-eye and watched Rev. Bill fall into the water – well, it was a day to remember.

We strive to create many days to remember throughout the year in our church community. Coming up in the next few weeks, you’ll have a chance to take part in more. There’s the Friday the 13th Game Night. I’m looking to start up a walking group. Don’t miss the Halloween Party. There are special events – and regular, weekly and monthly gatherings – for everyone.

As I said during that Ingathering Sunday service, one of the most beautiful things about Heritage Church is the sense of community that always seems to welcome more and more people into the circle. That morning there were several newcomers, who quickly fit right in. Maybe it’s because we don’t take ourselves too seriously. I mean, how many churches can you walk into for the first time, and take part in a picnic, then get to see the preacher being dunked in a water booth?

Sure, we can be serious, and frequently spiritual, but having fun is also high on our list. In these challenging times, a good sense of humor can be one of the best vaccinations against anxiety, fatigue and stress. This month, I encourage you to laugh. To smile. To do something – even if it’s just one thing – that is completely silly. And enjoy doing it!

Welcome to fall! Have a wonderful month.

Namaste,
Rev. Bill

President’s Corner

by Jim Nolan

I am very happy to share with you that the Board of Trustees held its annual retreat on August 17 and came out of it with focus, energy and goals for the coming year.

Our theme for 2020 is “Putting Energy into Action” and at the core of this initiative is Stewardship.

Our Mission Statement is three-fold:

  1. To be excellent stewards of our spiritual home.
  2. To strive to recognize and acknowledge our service to each other.
  3. To empower and encourage each other to make positive change in the wider world.

You will be hearing much more about Stewardship in the following months as there are many and varied needs inside and outside of our church.

To that end, I want to echo my message from last month and ask you to reflect upon what skills and abilities you might have and be willing to offer, whether that is in physical activity, planning or management of resources.

There will be many opportunities in the coming year to help maintain our thriving, active and loving community, both for the immediate future and as part of a long-term vision. I hope you will be engaged with us in whatever capacity you are willing and able to share.

As always, my very best wishes to you all.

Jim

On the Path

by Rev. Bill Gupton

To paraphrase my colleague, Rev. Leslie Woodward, “It’s going to be a wonderful month at Heritage Church. Won’t you join us?”

Late in the month, one of my favorite annual church rituals – the Water Ceremony during our Ingathering Sunday – will allow all of us (regardless of who you are, where you’ve been, or even if you brought water) to symbolically and literally join together in community as we kick off the fall season and a new “church year.” This meaningful ritual reminds us of our physical Source (water) and our spiritual Source (God, community, the Spirit of Life, Om…). It reminds us of our interconnection with one another, of the rites of passage (weddings, funerals, the welcoming of babies) yet to come this year. It reminds us of the sacred cycle of life of which we are a part. And it allows us to blend our experiences (and water) into one common container – all while creating beloved community.

Rev. Leslie and I also have some other plans for our Ingathering Sunday that we’re keeping a secret – at least for now!

Earlier in the month, I will be offering a couple of “seeker services” – worship services that are particularly newcomer-friendly, designed to give a good sense of Unitarian Universalism, and Heritage Church, to those who are less familiar with us (and serve as a refresher for those who are very familiar who we are and what we do!). Please be sure to invite a family member, neighbor, friend or co-worker. I will continue the “seeker” theme on the 1st of September by exploring the ways our church and our faith differ from other churches – in our own, and in other, faiths.

Meanwhile, your Worship Committee is thinking of new and innovative ideas to make our services fresher and more enjoyable for all ages and all stages of faith development.

Can you tell I’m excited about worship at Heritage this summer/fall? I hope you’ll join me – not only in the sanctuary, but at all the other fun and friendly gatherings we have lined up in the coming months. And if you think you want to join Heritage – if you are ready to become a member – please speak with me or drop me an email. Our next Membership Ceremony is September 8.

See you at church!

Namaste,
Rev. Bill

Soul Matters — Exploring Ideas Together in Religious Exploration

by Rev. Leslie Woodward

September begins a new year in our Religious Exploration (RE) Program and this year we are trying something new. Our RE program will be using curriculum built around a subscription program called Soul Matters — sharing resources with a network of over 150 Unitarian Universalist congregations who follow the same monthly themes.

Each month will have a different spiritual/religious theme that will be explored in RE throughout the entire month. In September, our theme will be “Expectation” and our children’s RE groups will explore what it means “to be a people of expectation.”

This fall we will also have three separate age groups for religious exploration so we can assure we are using age-appropriate activities for children and youth. Our three groups will be Sparks! — preschool and kindergarten; Flames! — first through sixth grades; and Ignite! — seventh through 12th grades. Watch for more information on how you can help lead and assist in our RE groups!

One of the greatest benefits of using Soul Matters is that children and their parents can explore the same theme together throughout the month. Families can continue their discussions of the themes at home through dinner conversations, car chats, bedtime stories, movies, and books tying into the themes, allowing religious exploration and education to be more than just a couple of hours on Sunday morning.

To help with this, I will be sending out a monthly email with ideas and resources about that month’s theme to weave into your family’s week. These will, of course, be only suggestions. Use them as it works for your family. And if you have ideas to add or something about which you want more information, please let me know.

Religious exploration is going to be great at Heritage!

Won’t you join us?

Rev. Leslie

President’s Corner

by Jim Nolan

Hello my fellow gentle, angry people.

I want to begin by saying how grateful, honored and humbled I am to have been asked to take on the role of President of the Board for the coming year.

I’ve never been President of anything before – so I’m feeling mildly intimidated by the task. I keep thinking of the 1993 movie Dave, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver, in which an ordinary person is thrown into an official position and must learn how to do the job on the fly. To paraphrase the main character, “I was hired to do a job for you and it is just a temp job at that.”

I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor than Jaime Castle. Her boundless energy and incredible creativity have taught me a great deal about leadership. In doing so, she has also set the bar pretty high, but I promise to always work my hardest to do the best job I can.

Under Jaime’s leadership, we were given the mission of “Recharging our Individual and Collective Energies.” She also provided for us an anthem in Sade’s “By Your Side.” For this coming year, my goal is to build upon what Jaime achieved and to guide us all into putting that renewed energy into action.

In Physics, Velocity is defined as Speed with a Direction. Similarly, by action, our individual and collective energies can do so much good in the direction of our church, our community and into the wider world.

For the next week or so, I would like us all to reflect upon what skills we have and what we would like to contribute to putting energy into action.

Are you good with tools? Can you cook? Do you like to read to kids? Can you plant and maintain a garden? Do you play an instrument? Can you lead and organize a group? Are you good with computers? Or – do you have time to offer where you can watch, lend a hand and learn a new skill? All of these – and more – will prove to be so valuable in maintaining the future of our church and its mission.

I can’t think of another Sade song to share to motivate you to action – but might I offer James Brown’s classic “Get Up Offa That Thing?”

Or, to take another quote from the movie Dave:
“You don’t really know how much you can do until you, stand up and decide to try.”

I look forward to putting energy into action with you all in the coming year.

On the Path

Rev. Bill Gupton

What have you been doing with your summer? The longest day of the year has already come and gone, and the days are getting ever so shorter. But it’s not too late to make the most of this special season – to make memories, share laughter, experience something new and exciting.

For some, that means travel. Do you have any fun trips lined up? (I did my traveling in May, when it was still springtime here in the States but downright chilly and on the cusp of winter in New Zealand!).

For others, summer is a family time, with children out of school and the opportunity to spend more time together – hiking, swimming, going to Kings Island or an FC/Cincinnati game. For still others, summer is a chance to reconnect with far-flung friends, be that on a shared vacation or by meeting up at a Unitarian Universalist summer camp. Jennifer and I always join a thousand or so of our closest friends at the Southeast UU Summer Institute in the mountains of North Carolina. This year, Jennifer is the Director of SUUSI! It’s a huge volunteer role, but definitely a labor of love.

You can learn more about all the UU camps and conferences here:
https://www.uua.org/beliefs/get-involved/where/camps-retreats-and-conferences
(and yes, that’s our own Chris Whittaker and a much younger Henry Sofge featured in the picture; yours truly is somewhere off camera).

Wherever you go this summer, whatever you do, keep Heritage Church in mind (and in your heart) by collecting some water, and saving it to bring with you to our annual Ingathering Sunday worship service on August 25, when we mark the “end of summer” and our “homecoming” with a UU tradition: the Water Ceremony.

And when you are in town, be sure to come to church on Sunday mornings. There will be a wide variety of interesting topics for reflection, outdoor activities for the children, and Heritage’s amazing, loving community to welcome you. Plus, in August we’re planning some special worship services for newcomers, as well as the aforementioned Ingathering Sunday.

Have a safe, refreshing, love-filled summer. I hope to see you at church soon!

Namaste,
Rev. Bill

President’s Corner

by Jaime Castle

“Recharging our Individual and Collective Energies” was the focus of this church year that the Board of Trustees came up with at our Board Retreat last August. Actually, it was the theme that I presented to them and that they willingly went along with. I told them that to prepare for that meeting/retreat, they were to prepare by listening to Sade’s “By Your Side.” Think of Heritage Church as Sade while you listen, I instructed! It’s a love song to you! I knew back then that we were all feeling drained: physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, culturally, politically, individually and as a community. Our batteries were low and needed to plug in and recharge.

I wanted for Heritage to be a positive place – positive in a supportive way offering social gatherings and uplifting messages throughout the year. This is to give us what we need now with the anticipation that the 2020 year would drain us again. These are important times, but we need to take care of each other and ourselves. Our work continues to offer support and to uplift as we take our renewed selves out into the world working to make it a better place.

Looking back, it seems that this past year has flown by. I’m checking my pulse now and unpacking how I’m feeling. Truth be told, my battery is in that treacherous red zone. It has been one event to plan and hold after another and one meeting after another and I’ve been working full time these last months as well. But this past Saturday was the last event that I was in charge of for a while and Thursday was the last day of school (so no more full time for me!). I’m ready to crash.

I know that many of you have gone through this or something like this before and know what I’m talking about. I am not bitter nor resentful – I knew that in recharging others, I was going to have to give of my own energies. I knew that I was going to give freely and thoroughly but would get the chance to recharge myself afterwards.

Afterwards is upon us. My time as Board President ends June 30th and in looking back I hope that I’ve done well. There have been so many good Presidents before me and I know that there will be great ones after me too. I was so fortunate to have wonderful folks on the Board with me. I enjoyed working with them and serving you all together.

I leave you all with a challenge: I challenge you all to be the hero that you can be.

I don’t think that you read that right. You probably read it like this: Be the hero that you CAN be! Like: Hey you! You can be a hero! But that’s not what I mean. Read it again like this: Be the hero that YOU can be. You see, you know what you can give and when and how. Whatever you can give in your current capacity is good enough. Sometimes you can step up more, but sometimes you cannot. And that is ok. Together we will be each other’s heroes and we can take turns. Sometimes we are Sade keeping others warm, and sometimes we are the ones that she is bringing home, drying our eyes, and staying by our side.

I’m going to go recharge for a while Friends, but I leave you with Sade: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8QJmI_V3j4

On the Path

by Rev. Bill Gupton

If it’s spring, can our annual congregational meeting be far behind? Church members are reminded to come to church early on Sunday, June 2, for our annual meeting. As stakeholders in Heritage Church, your vote and voice are needed as decisions are made about church leadership, budget priorities and more. I look forward to seeing you all in the sanctuary at 8:30 a.m. on June 2.

For me, it will be a homecoming of sorts, as I will be away throughout the month of May. If you’d like to discuss details of my time away, please do not hesitate to call or email me prior to May 4. I will be completely unavailable from May 5 through May 27. If you have an emergency or pastoral need during that time, please contact staff members Denise Martinez or Rev. Leslie Woodward.

Did you see that Heritage Acres was mentioned, and I was quoted, in the current edition of Cincinnati Magazine? Check it out at your favorite newsstand, or at the Cincinnati Magazine online site.  You can also read more about Heritage Acres, and the latest news from our green burial project, elsewhere in this Heirloom.

Wishing you a bright and beautiful spring! See you in June!

Namaste,
Rev. Bill

May, 2019.

Navigating Our First Principle

by Jaime Castle

I have a confession to make. I used to feel guilty about it, but somewhere along the way, I let that go. There’s not a one of you who probably haven’t felt the same way too. There are probably different levels of reactions, though, some feeling very guilty and others, no qualms at all. I’m talking about the times when you just “can’t people” or just don’t like people in general. I have a hard time following our First Principle in my heart sometimes.

The first Principle of Unitarian Universalism is: The inherent worth and dignity of every person. EVERY person! It is an important principle as we are humanistic at our core and respecting our fellow beings is a good basis for a good, peaceable, and stable world. Even the Golden Rule, or even better, The Platinum Rule, gets to the idea that we need to be good to each other: Treat others how you want to be treated or treat others how they want to be treated. And we should be good to each other, or at the very least “harm ye none!” But our Principle goes past how we act and gets more into our hearts, challenging us to see the worth in everyone and to see them as dignified – due respect and honor. That can be very hard.

I’ll give you a “Life Pro Tip” to help you better follow our First Principle: stay out of the comment sections on social media! In today’s politically charged and divisive times, people are passionate about their views in a way that is aggressive and cruel. I have yet to see a productive conversation between two or more faceless social profiles/strangers where each states their opinion or viewpoint and then listens to the other’s side. Instead, there is attacking and name calling and memes and fake news links or dismissal or deflection or accusation…it goes on and it is exhausting. How do we see the inherit worth and dignity of people like that?

After the 2016 election, I posted a picture on Facebook taken in Joann Fabrics showing an aisle fully stocked with all kinds of beautiful fabric. The caption that went along with it was: “I’m going to my Happy Place.” Many friends understood and were likewise distracting themselves from the shock and horror that we felt. My father’s oldest brother charged right in though saying how great things were going to be now and how excited he was for the new President. I can tell you that I did not like him very much right then. My in-laws, whom I had held in very high esteem, had also let me down. One of my sisters, one of my brothers, both brothers-in-law, all fell from their places in my heart. How do you navigate that?

Even before the election, there are those amongst us who are just horrible people – it is fairer to say – people who do horrible things. I struggle with the idea of Capital Punishment. Some argue that it is barbaric and must be done away with. It is hard for me to not see the issue through the eyes of the survivors of victims of these worst kinds of crimes. It is well and good to say that you do not agree with this ultimate punishment, but what if someone you love is the victim? Is it naive to say that you would forgive the offender? How do you see the inner worth of a person who destroys your world?

This past weekend was Easter and four of five of my siblings and my folks and my in-laws were there. My other sister was traveling for work, but her family was there. We gathered in Adams County at the home of one of my sisters. The younger kids (seven in total) jumped on the trampoline and ran around in glee. Two large Trump banners hung proudly in the background. My brother-in-law is loud and opinionated. He is also really good with my 34-year-old cousin who has Cerebral Palsy and has always been in a wheelchair and “talks” but only in a way that my uncle and her younger sister can understand. He is always teasing her and making her laugh. The rest of the family are polite to her but he gets right in her face and whisks her away joyfully. He is also really good to my sister, who four years ago, after losing the use of her legs, was discovered to have Multiple Sclerosis. She is walking with assistance now and has lost too much weight and is often fatigued. They sold their previous two-story house three years ago and he built her a big ranch home. He will always take really good care of her.

The younger sister of my cousin with CP, right after her graduating from Boston College for film studies, was hit with a family tragedy in that her mother, my beloved aunt, was dying of cancer. Two months later, after my aunt’s death, my cousin stepped in and became the primary caregiver for her sister. She did it without complaint and with love and flourish, taking her to the zoo every week and on so many various outings. My uncle has since retired and is helping more and my cousin is now planning a wedding. This last Easter, we all sat around talking about those plans. We sat around catching up. We sat around just being a family.

I think it is important to not let these divisive times ruin our families and friendships. It is easy to take it personal and internalize the pain. But there will be an eventual end to this era and we are going to need to be able to navigate that with bridges and torn down walls.

Somewhere along the way, I realized that I may love my family, and at the same time, at times, not like them very much. And that’s ok and maybe the key. Sometimes people are hard to like but if we can love the core of them, then that is enough.

May 2019.

President’s Corner

by Jaime Castle

Get Acquainted Dinners, the amazing social and epicurean feasts spearheaded by Ann Jarboe, happen about twice a year in order for new folks at Heritage to learn more about the church and UU in general. They are a good time to learn more about people that you’ve known for a while at Heritage. Les Tacy commented to me, “I love learning more about my friends at these!” This last G.A.D. was a luau and after feasting, we went around the table and spoke some about ourselves, focusing on our religious upbringing and what led us to Heritage and UUism. We also spoke about what kept us coming back. My story in regards to all that isn’t my focus here, but rather it was a phrase that was said that got me thinking. Kay Inskeep, in her introduction, referred to herself as one of the many “Single Married Females” here at Heritage.

I’d like to talk to that here. It’s a clever oxymoronic phrase, but is loaded with a lot of meaning. I am one and there are many. We’ve probably never given it much thought, as it’s just a reality, seemingly unremarkable. But these ladies have a struggle that is ongoing and ever-present that deserves a remark.

A “Single Married Female” (and this could go for males as well) is a person who is married but comes to church without their spouse. Their spouse either has a different religion or does not practice a religion at all. If they have children of school age, this means that they bring their children along, too, hoping for some moral guidance and religious community for them. There are a lot of personalities to take into the equation and it is different for each couple. But there is always a delicate balance that must be maintained between church and family in regard to time and energy given.

As members of Heritage, there is an expectation that we give of our time and energy. Rev. Leslie shared an article with the Board of Trustees lately that brought up the comment that the word “volunteer” does not fit when asking members to help out. It equated that with asking a dad to “babysit” his own kids while mom went out. The idea points out that volunteers are outsiders that help a cause, whereas church members are a part of the church family, so it is just helping out. When everyone gets on board with this, the phrase “many hands make light work” comes to mind.

As a SMF, I look at the many married couples at church and envy them – not in a jealous, spiteful way, but more in an appreciation that they get to share all this together. Even my single friends at Heritage, I see their independence as a nice unburdened freedom to give freely without worrying about keeping that delicate balance. Along with time and energy, there is financial support that is expected to maintain our church home. For married couples attending together and for single folks, making the calculation of how much to give is a bit easier as you are in it together or you are the only one deciding.

I have always struggled with trying to not make my husband mad with either giving too much money (he is the one that makes the bulk of the money) or giving too much of my time. Oh, I hear some of you thinking, “It’s your money too!” and I get it but still that fear is there. He did not grow up with any religion and sees the big megachurches as scams to make the pastors rich. I am not married to a controlling beast mind you and he has never said anything to me about it. But it is a worry that I have.

He has complained about the balance of my time though. Any week night that I am away, he is stuck babysitting the kids! I KNOW RIGHT?! It shouldn’t sound like that, but it is. I am the one who plans and prepares dinners, so if I’m not home, then he needs to have that extra duty. Nine times out of ten, he orders in pizza, and as much as the kids don’t mind that, it’s not ideal. My home on any given day isn’t the tidiest– they say that is a sign of a genius, right?! And I’m not a messy person by nature, but I just do not have the time to dedicate to closet clean-outs and finding proper homes for stuff. I need to keep on top of the laundry and dishes and once I get those caught up, it just starts right back over again. I’m like poor Sisyphus pushing that rock up that hill! My husband would rather I clean out closets then plan church events!

My mother-in-law once complained to me about my sister-in-law. She said “She really just doesn’t keep house well!” This made me super angry. I wanted to point out that maybe she should have taught her son to help out more. But it’s a fact that for generations, the wives were expected to do the housework and the child rearing. At least now we don’t have to do it with perfectly done hair and in pearls and heels! I’m excited to see how the next generations share in the housework and childcare. I will teach my son and daughter differently. He to be a partner and she to expect a partner! Or to go it alone? I just do not want them to feel entitled to have everything done for them.

But there it is: the struggle to maintain balance between church life and home life. Sometimes the scale tips one way or another, but it can be done. But give us some grace now and again as we really truly want to do ALL the things with you but we can’t. We treasure our time with you and we are grateful to our spouses for sharing us with you! If you ever see our spouses, often it is at a rare social gathering, it’s ok to tell them how great we are or the great things that we do. I say this jokingly, but really it does help. Often our spouses have no idea. My husband came to the auction/gala last year and the next day mentioned that a lot of folks spoke to him like: OH! You’re Jaime’s husband!? You see, usually, I’m Ben’s wife! So this was a fun turn.

So – here’s to the Single Married Females of Heritage church (and you males too!). We see you and we hear you! We wish that we didn’t have to share you because we love having you around so much. But we understand. We will be thankful for all that you can give and forgiving for the times that you cannot give. A little understanding and appreciation, as well as occasional forgiveness, help to relieve that struggle!
