DUKE ELLINGTONSACRED CONCERTwith chorus jazz orchestravocal and instrumental soloistsand dancers

Duke Ellington composed a series of Sacred Concerts performed in major churches all over the US The concerts were improvisatory in nature and no complete score of it exists Two composers Peder Pedersen and John Hoybye recreated a scored version which will be performed here on April 14 2019

An expanded choir of 60 singers will be joined by a professional ldquoBig Bandrdquo of 17 instrumentalists and vocal soloists under

Many years ago while on vacation and overcome by the beauty of the lush plant life where Rich and I were staying I purchased a new plant for our homemdasha variegated peperomia or so the little plastic sign in the soil told me The shopkeeper at the nursery where I purchased it said ldquoit prefers less waterrdquo And I thought ldquoOh yeah I can manage to NOT water a plant Caring for this plant is going to be

easyrdquo But it wasnrsquot nearly as easy as Irsquod imagined

No matter what I did over the years that that plant and I lived togethermdashgiving it lots of light giving it less light watering regularly watering irregularly feeding it ldquomiracle growrdquo or just tap watermdashthat darn plant always looked near deathrsquos door So much so that I began to regard it as a constant reminder of the things in life over which I have no control

One day I propped up some of its tendrils with toothpicks to improve its appearancemdashif not its healthmdashand to ease my sense that I had a brown thumb instead of a green one Not long after Rich and I went away on a vacation

I returned to find a glorious happening in my variegated peperomiarsquos pot new shoots were growing out of the soil (My in-laws apparently had the key to this plantrsquos health) and so I began a regular routine of watching its growth watering it more carefully and turning it each day so it would receive more even sunlight

Then I noticed that instead of having sort of spade-shaped leaves the leaves on this new growth were clover-shapedhellipthere was a weed growing in my house plant

I was heartbroken The clover-leafed thing grew like wildfire too Everyday I stared at its growth trying to decide what to do Here was this plant that I had been trying desperately to help thrive and which I had barely kept alive Now there was something growing fast and furiouslyhellipbut it wasnrsquot what I wanted Finally I had to laugh at the irony of this plantrsquos life-lessons that often we

get results we didnrsquot count on and in so many waysmdashgreat and smallmdashwe are forced to make decisions

Choices abound Each day we have opportunities to make decisions about who we will be and how we will travel in this world and which steps we will take In this case I was faced with the dilemma of whether to allow the clover leafed thing to grow like a weed so to speak or yank it out

As we move into springmdashand as we move toward another stage in our congregational lifemdashit feels appropriate to reflect upon the choices before us How we will move forward into this fresh season of new life What will we plant What will we allow to grow And what needs to be cleared away to allow for new life to take root and blossom

Whatever you choose to ldquoplantrdquo may you find your life growing into your highest aspirations and grandest visionshellipand may the weeds in your soil be few

Music Sunday 2019 Duke Ellingtons Sacred ConcertApril 14 1100 AM

At the age of 66 and at the height of his career Duke Ellington composed a series of concerts planned in major churches all over the US He was inspired by the fact that his dear friend and collaborator Billy Strayhorn was very ill We dont find religious or spiritual references in Ellingtons earlier works but Strayhorns illness shook Ellington deeply Strayhorn died soon after the premier of the first Sacred Concert and over the next several years Ellington toured his three Sacred Concerts The first was premiered at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco (1965) the second at The Cathedral Church of St John the Divine in New York (1968) and the third at Westminster Abbey in London (1973) Improvisatory in nature and adapted to the resources available at each location no complete score of the three Sacred Concerts exists because each performance varied greatly one from the other In 1993 as a result of an international conference based solely on the Sacred Concerts two composers Peder Pedersen and John Hoybye created a scored version recreating selections from each of the three Sacred Concerts It is this version which will be our featured Music Sunday work this year The UU Congregationrsquos expanded choir of approximately 60 singers will be joined by a ldquoBig Bandrdquo of 17 players and vocal soloists Lilyan Strassman Meagan Brus Leah Wood Joshua Sanders and Brace Negron

This work is rarely heard and you are encouraged to invite your friends and family to this wonderful musical event The service will run approximately one hour and twenty minutes due to the length of the piece

Referring to the Sacred Concerts Ellington characterized them as the most important thing I have ever done

Perpetually in Bloom

Growing up in a multi-faith household my very favorite time of year was the Passover and Easter season Why do I have fonder memories of this Jewish and Christian holiday convergence over Hanukkah and Christmas one may wonder Perhaps I liked springtime more than wintertime Or perhaps I just really liked chocolate eggs and Hillel sandwiches (I really do) Upon reflection I feel that deep down I

loved the connection between the two holidays the most here is a much-debated question about whether the Last Supper was a Passover Seder and both holidays are determined by solar and lunar calendars As my knowledge of world theologies expanded I found revived interest in Easterrsquos possible origins in the pagan spring celebration of the goddess Ostara (or Eostre) Whatever the reason Passover and Easter always feel like a fresh new surprise much like springtime itself Nowadays my joy in these holidays lives in seeing my son searching for the afikomen at Seder waking up early to hunt for eggs in our midtown Manhattan apartment and that one time when the Easter Bunny visited us in our hotel room while vacationing in Toulouse France My joy also lives in sharing our faith observances together in beloved Unitarian Universalist community I hope RE families will join us at the Passover Seder on Saturday April 20 at 530 PM and for the Easter Sunday Family Worship Service on April 21 at 1100 AM preceded by a Meet amp Greet with the Easter Bunny and followed by our annual egg hunt for children We look forward to warmly welcoming you all into this holy space of growing flowers growing children and growing souls

On Friday March 22 Saru Jayaraman Co-Founder of Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) United joined the Veatch Program Board of Governors and members of the congregation for their March Policy Retreat celebrating Womenrsquos History Month ROC United was initially founded in New York City after September 11 2001 to provide support to the more than 13000 restaurant workers displaced as a result of the World Trade Center tragedy ROC has grown into a national restaurant workersrsquo organization with 32000 worker members and more than 700 employer partners who are organizing their peers to help transform the industry ROC is one of the nationrsquos leaders in the fight for a fair wage and a harassment-free workplace in the food-service industry

In her presentation to us Saru described the restaurant industry as rife with sexual harassment and exploitation She compared the industry that employs 14 million people in the US as a training ground for how women expect to be treated in any job they obtain Women workers make up the majority of the industry and rely on tips to make ends meet in an increasingly unjust economy Women are encouraged to dress a certain way or put up with customers to make sure they get their tips Saru believes that if we can transform this industry it will be because of womenrsquos leadership She highlighted how the TimesUp movement has increased the visibility of harassment in the restaurant industry among other labor sectors and how ROCs engagement in its One Fair Wage campaign could help address the issue of harassment of restaurant workers by eliminating workersrsquo reliance on tips to make a living wage

In addition to improving wages and benefits for restaurant workers ROC United is educating restaurant workers as voters who have the potential to turn out to the polls to vote for state-based increases in the tipped wage ROC believes restaurant workers can play a crucial role in securing our democracy in critical states Saru updated us on efforts in New York and left the group with several action steps

1 Download the ROC Dinerrsquos Guide app to select establishments who pay their workers a fair wage and offer paid time off

2 Refer workers to join ROC to become more aware of their rights

3 Encourage your favorite restaurants to connect with ROC and become a high road employer

4 Contact local government officials to encourage support to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers in NY State

Saru noted that Veatch was one of ROC Unitedrsquos early funders and that our long-term support has made it possible for ROC to become a national force for building worker power She thanked the congregation for its continued steadfast support

Beloved Conversations Part II

In December I wrote about the anti-racism program Beloved Conversations that was being held in UU congregations across Long Island The eight-session program came to an end last week

In the last few sessions of the program we examined what we were already doing to address racism and then we shared our dreams for being congregations rooted in racial justice

Prominent among our ldquodreamsrdquo was the desire to be allies to communities of color Many of us white people who are aware of and concerned about the effects of systemic racism on communities of color do want to be allies Often we just donrsquot know where or how to start

During Beloved Conversations we were encouraged to invite people of color who lead communities of color to speak with us and tell us what it was like to have white people come to be allies and ldquoto helprdquo We learned that when we white people show up it must be with an attitude of humility and a willingness to listen and learn from the community

I have kept in touch with the leaders who shared that evening with us One of them Mimi Pierre-Johnson has told me of the immediate need of her Haitian community in Elmont They want a community center where they can gather and provide services for the community and not just the Haitian community but anyone in Elmont After months of searching Mimi has found a venue that would be prefect but she needs to raise $250000 to have rent and operating expenses for at least a year

Would you become an ally of the Haitian community in Elmont by making donation of any amount to help make this big dream come true The GoFundMe site for the project is httpswwwgofundmecom3szrup-community-center-building

I would also like to see us as a community of faith do something together to support this fundraising Please send me any ideas you might have or let me know if yoursquod like to be part of an effort to be an ally to the Haitian Community in Elmont

A Wildflower Garden for Earth Day

On Friday March 8 landscape ecologist Rusty Schmidt and his research assistant Ashley Crespo visited the UUCSR campus to talk about the designing of a wildflower garden Rusty has been working with David Jakim from REWILD This is an organization that has been planting areas throughout the Town of North Hempstead through another branch organization called the Port Washington Monarch Alliance They are dedicated to planting native wildflower gardens across Long Island

Wildflowers are everywhere we allow them They are not only beautiful and colorful to humans but also those that are native to Long Island are food and habitat for birds and bugs (which themselves are food for birds and other animals) All contribute to make a healthy soil and ecosystem Long Islandrsquos native wildflowers include an amazing array of larger trees and shrubs such as black cherry and northern bayberry as well as golden rod and golden aster plus grasses such as big and little bluestem and switch grass

These aforementioned plants can have deep roots which help to hold and fertilize the soil and clean the water This is of course crucial at UUCSR since our church sits atop the drinking water for the Great Neck Water District One of the most famous native plants is milkweed which not only has long roots but is the only plant that monarch butterfly larva can feed on as they grow

What the Green Sanctuary Committee and Building and Grounds Committee would like to do is plant a wildflower garden on our premises It would be small and pretty and easily accessible We have the space and our walk through with David and Rusty helped us find the right area and design for this project What a great gift to celebrate Earth Day if we begin this year We hope you support our plans to enhance and green UUCSR more than ever before Of course these kinds of gardens can also be planted at your home They can not only beautify a monotonous suburban landscape but also greatly benefit our diminishing good insect population and help the soil and water in this time of climate disturbance Therefore letrsquos begin here at UUCSR to provide shelter for some of the nonhuman members of our community A great gift for Earth Day 2019

A Visit to Sisters of St Joseph and a Lesson in Sustainable Land Management

A delegation of eight congregants traveled to Brentwood NY on a blustery cold Saturday in March to visit with the Sisters of St Joseph The Order with 400 members has become well known as a model of a faith-

based community engaging in ethical land management that has reverence for all the wonders of creation Rev Ned Wight in his sermon on October 14 2018 challenged UUCSR to emulate the Sisters who have undertaken many green projects on their 212-acre property

Inspired by Rev Nedrsquos sermon the delegation of congregants from the Building and Grounds and Green Sanctuary Committees met with Sister Karen Burke Coordinator of Land Initiatives and Sister Clara Santoro Past President Sister Karen passionately explained the Land Ethic statement adopted by her faith-based community which is a credo guiding all decisions regarding their land The statement commits the Sisters ldquoto preserve protect restore and cherish the integrity biodiversity balance and beauty of the land and all the species with whom we share itrdquo

The achievements of the Sisters in environmentally sound land management have been very impressive They have installed a complex of solar panels which supply 63 percent of the energy needs of their campus With a grant from the Long Island Community Foundation they have developed a rain garden which captures stormwater and allows it to infiltrate into a vegetative area They have converted a large part of their lawn into a wildflower meadow which has been a haven for pollinators and other insects of all kinds They have sold conservation easements to the County and State to preserve the open space on their property in perpetuity Finally the Sisters have obtained grants from Suffolk County and the Pritchard Foundation to replace their outmoded on-site sanitary waste disposal system with an innovative constructed wetland system

The discussion with Sister Karen and the tour of the property was very inspirational for the eight congregants who attended sparking ideas for how we can manage our property Those who attended were Jim and Elaine Peters Kathy de Vos Ellen Councill Stephen Ruocco Rebecca Smith Jim Ansel and Dana Gumb Sister Karen and Sister Clara invited us to return later in the year when all the vegetation on their beautiful campus will be in full splendor

To UUCSR ministers congregants and friends

No matter what you think or that you expect the passing of a loved one no matter the age or medical circumstances the loss is always a painful shock My sister Lucille Juliano Abelman led a long life She was a loving caring person and much loved It is still painful for me and a shock The caring messages from our wonderful ministers and members help deal with it The messages of sympathy are comforting and I thank you all

My love Ann Juliano Jawin

These words are from Amy Singh who happily for us joined this congregation on February 24 of this year

ldquoIrsquom originally from Massapequa but recently moved from Astoria to Sea Cliff with my husband James and our five-year-old Meadow Our family is multi-religious My husband grew up Sikh and I grew up Catholic Irsquove been searching for a liberal faith that

Small Great Things

We have another novel in stock at our UUCSR Bookstore Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult Although it is an imaginary tale the issues in it are real Jodi Picoult is a talented author who has written 25 books and has long wanted to write about racism However being white and privileged she felt she could not know or describe what it is like growing up black She solved her creative dilemma by writing to her own communitymdash white people who can easily point to a neo-Nazi skinhead and say he is a racist but donrsquot recognize their own prejudices Picoult is skilled at contrasting different points of view and her sharply-honed writing ability produces a book that moves quickly and is a bit of a page-turner

The story is told from three points of view Ruthrsquos Turkrsquos and Kennedyrsquos Ruth is an experienced black nurse in an infant pediatric ward She is ordered not to touch a baby whose parents Turk and Brittany Bauer are white supremacists They demand that Ruth not be allowed to care for their son The next day when she is alone on the ward and the baby goes into cardiac arrest she makes the difficult decision to intervene and performs CPR When the baby dies the grieving and angry parents believe Ruth is at fault and she is charged with its death Kennedy McQuarrie a white woman is the public defender and must defend Ruth of these serious charges Picoult uses the lawyer to represent someone like herself a well-educated liberal who struggles with her own denial and unawareness of latent racism Ruth in turn becomes aware of the many small aggressions she tried so hard to repress the woman who moves her purse when she comes near the patient who thinks she is part of the cleaning staff the acquaintance who questions her sonrsquos school success Turkrsquos loathsome beliefs are explored and explained in terms of his background and his trauma the author manages to make him flawed but human

This is soon to be a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts and Viola Davis

ldquoA novel that puts its finger on the very pulse of the nation that we live in today hellipa fantastic read from beginning to end as can always be expected from Picoult this novel maintains a steady page-turning pace that makes it hard for readers to put downrdquomdashSan Francisco Book Review
