Music Sunday, June 4, 9:00 and 11:00 AM
Featured
Many have long held space for peace, working for it in their own way. On Music Sunday we’ll lament our place in history where peace is a dream and conflict remains. And we will vision and affirm our united purpose — a world of peace.
All over the world and throughout history, parents have expressed hope and intention for a peaceful world for their children. The choir will sing two lullabies accompanied by cello from the song collection “Lullabies From the Axis of Evil”, including one from Iraq titled, “Peace to the world, peace to my country, my love” and a traditional Sufi song with text by mystic and poet Abu Abdillah Muhammad. Other selections include “Learn War No More” and a Hebrew folk song
From American John Mayer, the UUFSD Band will perform”Waiting for the World to Change,” which speaks of our frustration over barriers to changes we desire. Another selection, from Keb’ Mo’ and Taj Mahal, makes the celebratory statement, “There’ll be peace and understanding all around the world.”
We look forward to sharing this musical worship experience with you.

Screening of the Documentary “13th” on Friday, June 2
Featured
Join Rev. Meghan on Friday, June 2nd for a screening of the documentary 13th followed by a discussion. Palmer Library 6:30-9:30. Pizza will be served.
Seating is limited. Please RSVP.
The title of Ava DuVernay’s extraordinary and galvanizing documentary refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.”
The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity.
Please RSVP via Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Unitarian-Universalist-Fellowship-of-San-Dieguito-210458910209 or email office@uufsd.org or call 858-755-9225.

Save the Date: Brunch on May 21
Dear wonderful UUFSD members and friends:
You are invited to participate in “Brunch Team 6 and 7 combined” to help make the UUFSD May 21th FUNdraising Brunch a success! You will have received an email invitation if your last name is between A-E. If you have not participated this year and want to help and didn’t receive an email invitation, that’s ok. We are all volunteers and maybe we got your email wrong. Everyone is of course welcome to EAT at the brunch and donate funds the day of the brunch. The Brunch program benefits committees and programs. Anyone is welcome to help in the kitchen:
SAVE THE DATE: The brunch is scheduled for May 21, 2017. Help is needed to bring potluck food, to help set out food, clean up, or take turns greeting and collecting donations.
Summary of the two Services Brunch day:
Drop off of potluck items by 9:30 am. Set up team helps from 9:30 – 10 am.
Gathering Hour Brunch runs from 10 am – 11 am.
Second Shift team puts out potluck dishes for Second Service at 12:15
Final Clean up team starts to clean up around 1 pm.
If you have questions, concerns, or do not wish to participate, please let Alison know. Your “no” is as sacred as your “yes.”
Many thanks to the choir who hosted the last brunch in March and to Debbie and volunteers who threw together a beautiful Easter brunch in lieu of a fundraiser for April. The Choir put together a helpful signup sheet and for their event had so many helping hands which made such a beautiful day that we decided to do the last May brunch as a combined team of 6 and 7 (basically these are last names from A to E in the Fellowship Directory). Many hands make light work!
We hope everyone from A-Z has had an opportunity to help at a fellowship brunch at least once this year and we look forward to another year of fellowship and FUN-draiser brunches next year. If you would like to help with this program then contact brunches@uufsd.org; kitchen@uufsd.org. (Does gathering around delectable dishes in fellowship for fundraising light your fire?) If so, we love your enthusiasm and we would love to hear from you about next year!
Sincerely,
Alison Schlick
UUFSD Board member liaison to Sunday Brunch Fundraiser Program
