"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."

George Eliot

 

Sunday Worship, September, 2021:

 

The Baja 4 Congregations will be back together twice a month for the month of September, and UUCT will be having our own services twice a month. 

 

Sunday September 26, 2021, 10:30 a.m.:

 

Join us this coming Sunday for our second LIVE-STREAMED worship service. Rev. Bethany and Betsy McMillan will lead worship live from Holland with support from the ever-amazing Livestream Team. Jamili Omar, Brian Moon, and Chris Tackett will also lead worship by submitting prerecorded elements woven into the service. You can watch on UUCT's YouTube channel at 10:30 AM on Sunday. We'll be discussing the things that bring us together as a community and how we can keep growing towards one another in these times of uncertainty. Join us!

How to Give to the Church

 

You are asked to use our credit card service (which can be reached by the link or the On-line Giving button on our website), the very easy to use Text-to-Give (1-833-361-5796), or checks sent to the office. The on-line giving gives you the option to identify the contribution and use the memo line for checks. A tutorial video on Text-to-Give is here. After setting up an initial “profile” these options are easy to use for subsequent donations.

Oct 14, 2021: Breathe: A Letter to My Sons by Imani Perry, 2019

Discussion leader: Beth B

“In Breathe, Perry offers a lyrical meditation that connects a painful, proud history of African American struggle with a clarion call for present-day action to protect, defend, and celebrate the promise of the next generation.”

—Stacey Abrams, founder and chair of Fair Fight Action, Inc.

 

Nov 11, 2021: Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd, 2020

Discussion leader: Sally R

Did Jesus Ever Tie the Knot? A New Novel Considers the Question.

“Kidd’s bold narrative revisionism allows her protagonist to be in every respect the equal of her husband while posing this question: How would Western culture be different if men and women had grown in appreciation of each other’s spirit? It’s not such a leap—the gospels portray Jesus gently championing women.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

 

Dec 9, 2021: Henry Ossian Flipper: West Point's First Black Graduate by Jane Eppinga, 1996 

Discussion leader: Diana B

“In 1878 Henry Ossian Flipper appeared destined for a long military career. Four years later, he was courtmartialed at Fort Davis, Texas for embezzlement of government funds and dismissed from the Army. One hundred years later, his name was cleared ...”

This book was recommended to Diana by the late Winn Bundy, owner of the Singing Winds bookstore in Benson AZ. “The literary center of the universe is supposed to be in New York, but here was this shining light of the literary world living and working on a ranch outside Benson, Arizona,” said J.A. Jance. Bundy earned a bachelor’s degree in history from the UA in 1956 and later master’s degrees in history and library science.

 

 

 

We meet the second Thursday of each month via Zoom Meeting opens by 9:20am, book discussion starts at 9:30am.
