SUMMARY:Singing Through the Generations: Worship Wars\, Musical Heresies\, and Sound Innovations
DESCRIPTION:This is a participatory music workshop addressing the history of congregational singing. Our friends from the UU community Matt Meyer and Beth Norton will host this workshop to benefit AUUMM (the Association for UU Music Ministries). We expect an audience of about 25-45 people\, musicians\, choir members\, religious professionals\, and fans of UU history and singing. \nThere’s more than one way to raise a song. Our history as Unitarian Universalists is full of innovations\, controversies\, and sometimes missed opportunities for community singing. We’ll journey from Puritan call-and-response\, to the earliest hymns\, to the controversial formation of choirs\, and the heretical introduction of instruments. Together\, we’ll sing our way through centuries of change\, connection\, and creativity\, considering these questions and more: \n\nWhy were hymns so controversial?\nHow did our church choirs first form and why?\nWho introduced the heresy of instruments in worship?\nWhat happened to our songleading roots?\n\nHere’s more information and the registration form. \nTo volunteer to help\, please email Jonathan (jonathan@tparkerchurch.org)

Ferry Beach is a small UU conference center on a seven-mile stretch of sandy beach in Maine. It’s a collection of mostly renovated wood frame buildings from the last century. The main building has a lobby with a fireplace\, comfy chairs and a wrap-around porch that faces the ocean. There is a huge dining room with a nice\, big porch where we share catered meals. \nWhat do we do? Some of us stay put at the beach all weekend\, playing volleyball\, basketball\, doing puzzles\, creating arts and crafts\, or engaging in deeper dive discussions around significant issues. Others venture out to enjoy museums in Portland\, apple picking\, environmental ecology trips\, kayaking\, or shopping at the outlets. We cheer brave performers at the talent/no talent show. Mostly\, we form deeper connections with each other through shared meals\, play\, and the beauty of the ocean. \nBasic Ferry Beach information: \n\nHousing is in rustic wooden buildings with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. Some units have been renovated.\nThe drive takes approximately 2 – 2.5 hours. Ferry Beach is available to us from 4pm Friday until 2pm Monday.\nHumans only\, NO pets allowed.\nOthers may be added to your room to maximize the number of people we can fit in.\nRoom assignments\, information\, and directions will be emailed on or around October 9th.\nThe room assignment team works hard to accommodate everyone’s needs.\nApplications are processed in the order received and incomplete applications will be processed last.\nIf fees are a problem\, reach out to the FUUSN or TPC contact.

SUMMARY:Film: Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor Problem
DESCRIPTION:America’s Misdemeanor Problem exposes how our country’s history of racial injustice evolved into an enormous abuse of criminal justice power.  Thirteen million people a year — most of them poor and people of color — are abused by this system. \nThrough first-person accounts of those charged under the Black Codes of the Reconstruction era paralleled with the outrageous stories of people trapped in the system today\, the film brings to light the unfolding of a powerful engine of profits and racial inequality. With the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement\, this film provides historical context and examines America’s history of racist oppression. \nPresented by the TPC Racial Justice Task Force. Join on Zoom.
