Random Thoughts: Fred and Moi both appreciated the many Thank You cards we received via the mailman from UUCB’s Christmas Eve service. That was so fun to do, and even better to receive.
If you, like Fred and Moi, have tried to donate funds to UUCB from your King Soopers purchases, and are unable to sign up — we now know the trick. Our ID card/fob was from years ago (prior to KS starting this program). After trying several suggestions from our KS Manager; we went ahead and filled out a new application (available at the Service Desk). Took two days, and we were in, slicker than anything! Now it is printed, right on our receipt, “Unitarian Universalist Church gets a percentage.” Finally, we are doing our part!
In 1956 when I was 19 my boyfriend’s mother took me for an abortion in Wichita KS. It was in a back alley, the doctor was blind and the instrument was a coat hanger. I survived, Fred would say, “hearty peasant stock”. Later after turning 26, I married and had two healthy daughters. Because of the recent overturn of Roe vs Wade — I want NO ONE to have my experience!
Many of us older UUs thought this fight was over 50 years ago — But it is not!
We prepared a better world for our daughters, and grandaughters, and now we must begin again, for our great grandchildren.
A Reproductive Rights Ministry is forming, please let Rev. Schwartz know if you are interested in joining, both women and men are welcome!
If you missed it, go back and listen to the end of Rev. Schwartz’s sermon January 22nd.
My good news is my 4cm (not 2cm, as I said before) mass on my kidney was a cyst, requiring no further follow-up!
LOVE & Chocolates are in the air!!
