If we get enough volunteers, we will also sell coffee, lemonade and light refreshments to raise money for the Fellowship.
Rain date May 8th. Email Phoebe Pollitt at phoebeann@bellsouth.net to reserve a table or volunteer for the Fellowship table and/or refreshment table. If we don't "rent" at least 5 tables by April 24th, we will cancel this event.  In her presentation, “How to Have Better Political Conversations: Lessons From A Voice Teacher," Chorus director Elizabeth Davies led a fascinating discussion on how her training as a voice teacher has led her to helping others have effective and civil discussions on politics. Voice teachers, Elizabeth contends, are like political activists and change-agents, seeking to persuade others to discard habits and beliefs that may have been ingrained over a lifetime. She offered a voice teacher’s perspective on how to create a safe space for change. View Elizabeth's presentation notes (PDF).

When Carrie asked her friend Katrina to accept a job working for her as an “adventure specialist,” neither really understood just what that job would entail. That Carrie used a wheelchair after 20 years battling MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and that the adventures she envisioned involved traveling to multiple countries, Mexico, Guatemala and Italy among them, created some obvious issues. Carrie particularly wanted to visit some nonprofit projects she has supported over the years and see the sites of ancient Rome and Pompeii. Beyond just visiting exciting places, these two adventurers found accessible ways to enjoy hot air balloon flying, kayaking, ziplining, sledding, rafting, tubing, snorkeling, and parasailing. Some of the adventures in water play happened close to their homes in Washington State. During the eight months of their odyssey, they recorded their adventures and their responses in photographs and journals that became a blog and then a book. Katrina, a former Boone resident, holds a doctorate in expressive arts. She now lives in Phoenix, where she is an art therapist at Resilient Health Arizona. Service Leader: Linda Larson
Sunday Service Notes: David NOvak on Apprehension, Truth, and the Death of Baldr, January 10, 20211/10/2021
 BUUF welcomed back David Novak, storyteller, for an exploration of the Norse myth of Baldr, its relevance to our search for truth, and the darkness that heralds a return of light and new life in the coming year. David works extensively in aesthetic education as a performing and teaching artist. He is an NC A+ Fellow and a National Storytelling Network Circle-of-Excellence Storyteller. David animates his programs, contrasting simplicity with complexity, the familiar with the surprising, the ordinary with the fabulous. Service Leader: Linda Larson Below is the YouTube link of David's presentation entitled "Truth, Apprehension, and the Eclipse of Baldr". Here is also a link to a blog post about truth. Glenn Wing has provided a list of sources for his portion of the anthology service on January 3 (Wake Now My Reason: Reflections on the New Year). That list is appended below.
