Sunday, October 16th - "Take Heart" - Rev. Tracy Johnson
Our Soul Matters theme this month is courage, a word rooted in the heart. How can we wrap our hearts around the many ways we are asked to be courageous these days?
Greeters: Joan K./ Bonnie
Sunday, October 23 - "A Portable Sanctuary" - Rev. DL Helfer
Today we harken back to early Judaism to consider what sanctuary is, where we find it, and how, even, we carry it with us.
Greeters: Kathy/ Joan C.
Rev DL Helfer is non-binary, and in general, avoids boxes that trap them into “this” or “that.” Instead, they search for possibility, for deeper truths, and share those glimmers of possibility with others. Rev. DL is presently pursuing a Master of Social Work and serving as a hospital chaplain. They hail from Southern California but now call Providence, RI home. They share that home with their beloved partner and their 20-year-old cat.
Sunday, October 30 - "Wampanoag Art for the Ages" - Lee Roscoe
Lee Roscoe of Brewster, an author, poet, playwright, and actress, will speak about her new book Wampanoag Art For the Ages.
Greeters: Deb/ Joe

UUMH CUSP of the Future REPORT
Thank you to all who participated in the discussions on the future of UUMH. You may be wondering where all of the discussions and ideas will lead us. Now, you will have a chance to find out at a special hybrid meeting following the service on Sunday, October 16th.
The CUSP of the Future Team will present a summary of discussions and some possible options for the UUMH. This is an information and discussion meeting with no voting. There is simply too much involved and time is needed to digest this information before any specific actions are decided. When completed, the full report will be posted on the UUMH website in a members-only section for you to review the entire report.
Thank you,
UUMH Cusp of the Future Team

Sustainable Practices Film Series
at The Orpheum Theater
A Silent Transformation
Saturday, November 5th | 9:30 AM
NR | 1h 10min | Documentary
The cooperative movement was built by people who took on the responsibility for their collective well-being in the face of government neglect, economic exclusion, and cultural discrimination. As the modern economy increasingly denies vast sectors of the population basic amenities for a decent life, this co-operative spirit is as critical as ever. However, over the years the co-op sector has become insular and poorly understood.
A Silent Transformation sets out to explore the innovative self-help efforts of different communities across the Province of Ontario, Canada. By addressing their needs collectively they are helping to regain the radical vision of cooperation. In these communities are the seeds of economic democracy, global solidarity, and a new popular movement to transform society! Will it grow and flourish?
