May 20, A Message from Peachtree Street. Rev. Jim will adapt one of the messages he prepared during a week of study at the Festival of Homiletics in Atlanta, GA. The subject of the message is unknown so please expect an unexpected message. We will be welcoming new members in this service. Please speak with Rev. Jim if you are interested in joining Community Church. (The Current Definition of Religion, Part 3 will be presented in June.)
May 27, Overwhelming Hatred with Love. Love for one another may be the only force able to sustain us, given the myriad hatreds on the prowl in our world. In the week before a congregational vote on our Covenant of Right Relationship we return to Karen Armstrong'sTwelve Steps to a Compassionate Life and find her reminder that we are responsible for making our world work, and we can be much more effective if we begin with a compassionate attitude. (The Current Definition of Religion, Part 4 will be shared in July.)

Six years after Hurricane Katrina forced a small Lakeview church to rebuild from scratch, its members have done so in a way few other congregations have matched, creating an ambitious, environmentally green building that embodies the congregation’s very theology. With the arrival of Earth Day 2012, the members of Community Church Unitarian Universalist of New Orleans have a tight, bright church of 4,200 square feet designed from day one to consume as little fossil-fuel energy as possible.
And now comes something like a certificate of success: March’s electricity bill from Entergy totaled $48.83.

With great pride and excitement The Red Flame Hunters Mardi Indian Tribe (the children’s division of the Original Big 7 Social Aid and Pleasure Club) put on their costumes and elaborate headdresses and set out with their accompanying percussion group on Mardi Gras morning.
Many from CCUU were there, including Anne Saunders who had participated hands-on by helping the kids with the beading and sewing of the costumes.
With a police escort, the tribe headed down Elysian Fields and then into the Treme neighborhood. They were led by their chanting Chief dressed in purple and had three new members, identified as such by their white feathers.
What a joy for everyone to see and a real blessing that CCUU has developed a relationship with the Original Big 7 such that we are able to help these kids participate in this valuable cultural experience.
