June is the last month of the church year and we have a lot of exciting things going on in the musical program. The choir will be singing on the first three Sundays of June, starting with Ysaye Barnwell's "We Are..." on June 2. June 9 is RE Bridging Sunday, and the children will sing "The Glass Half Full," a song about the importance of one's attitude and whether we view a glass half-empty or half-full.
If you play an instrument, please consider sharing your talent at church. A song is wonderfully enhanced when we add an instrument or two.
Other opportunities to help the music program, even if you cannot play an instrument or sing, is volunteering to help sort our music. I'd be happy to tell you how to you can help us out, after a service!
Here is the upcoming music schedule:
Sunday June 2:
10:30 Choir rehearsal
11:00 Choir sings
Thursday June 6
7:30-9:00 Choir rehearsal
Sunday June 9
10:30 Children and Choir rehearse

SoulCollage®
“The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are. The second greatest is being happy with what you find.” ~unknown source
On June 1, 2013, a new art exhibit will go up in our sanctuary. This exhibit is different from the previous ones—it is an exhibit of SoulCollage® cards from participants in the workshops that have been held monthly at PUUC over the last year. This article is intended to give you a frame of reference for the cards you’ll be seeing.
You may have seen the regular announcements over the last 12 months about the SoulCollage® workshops that I facilitate with the assistance of Eva Dew Danner. This exhibit is an amazing, powerful, creative and intriguing display of the personal SoulCollage® cards made by many of the workshop participants. If you’ve been curious about SoulCollage®, I have a small caution for you. After seeing the cards in the exhibit, you may find that you have new questions in your mind rather than the definitive answer of what SoulCollage® is. So maybe a little explanation here will be helpful.
I have several spiritual practices that help me live with more compassion and kindness toward myself and toward others. SoulCollage® is one of those practices. I was introduced to SoulCollage® in 2011 and in 2012 I completed the training to be a SoulCollage® Facilitator. It has brought me such joy to share this healing process with my spiritual community at PUUC.
SoulCollage® is an insightful process of self discovery using images from magazines, calendars, books, etc. to create a collage. Developed by Seena Frost, M.Div., M.A., the process guides each SoulCollage® participant on a personal journey of exploration to acknowledge, welcome and accept the various aspects of who he or she is.
This process is designed to encourage the participant to temporarily give our frequently overused judging, analytical aspects of the brain a short vacation. And while our analytical brain is resting, we invite the more subtle and subconscious inner wisdom to guide in creating the SoulCollage® cards that represent one aspect of self. Catherine Anderson, trained SoulCollage® facilitator, describes it this way: “SoulCollage® is a gentle, playful and often joyful way of exploring your life and your deep self.”
Frost has developed a series of 5 questions that are used to glean wisdom from and interpret the cards. This questioning is usually referred to as “reading the cards”. You will see some readings posted along with the SoulCollage® cards in the exhibit.
The SoulCollage® community now includes almost 1,000 trained Facilitators in 44 states and 20 countries. As stated on the SoulCollage.com website, “SoulCollagers everywhere are discovering the transformative power of images, imagination and intuition through the simple yet profound process of SoulCollage®.” At PUUC, 50 individuals have participated in at least 1 workshop and many of those individuals who have participated in as many as 6 workshops over the last year.
To participate, one doesn’t need to think of oneself as an artist although every one of the cards that is created is beautiful as evidenced by this Exhibit. In the workshops you will be lovingly and gently guided. No special skills are required. All materials are provided. Registration fee is $15.
Summer workshop dates are:
Jun 22, Sat 10am-2pm
Jul 20, Sat 10am-2pm
Aug 17, Sat 10am-2pm
Workshops are limited to 14 participants. Pre-registration is required because the workshops often fill up. To register for a workshop, send an email to collage@puuc.org.
I hope you enjoy the exhibit. If one of the collages intrigues you, talk to the creator about what you are feeling when you look at the images or ask them about the workshops. I’d also be happy to answer any questions. And, if you’d like more general information about SoulCollage®, access www.soulcollage.com.

Proposal Submitted to PUUC Board of Trustees by the Piedmont Unitarian Universalist Church/Piedmont Progressive Preschool Task Force
Proposal
Submitted to PUUC Board of Trustees by the Piedmont Unitarian Universalist Church/Piedmont Progressive Preschool Task Force
April 18, 2013
Task Force members:
PUUC: Karl Hesse, Heidi Magi, Pam Whistler PPP: Susan Burns (PUUC member), Michele Deese (PPP Head Teacher/Administrator)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of Proposal: to present to the PUUC Board of Trustees the plan that Piedmont Progressive Preschool (PPP) may become a Sponsored Group of the church rather than merging the two entities previously discussed at a May 2012 Board Meeting. Under the PUUC bylaws, PPP would possibly fit the definition of a Sponsored group (Bylaws Appendix I). This proposal has been discussed and approved by the governing PPP Parent Council.
Benefits to PUUC of a closer relationship: The benefits of PPP becoming a Sponsored Group are the church will have no financial obligations to the Preschool and vice-versa, while still experiencing a relationship closer than that of landlord and renter. The hope is that there will be a collaborative relationship based on the similarities in each group’s guiding principles (Appendix II). For example, the school’s teachers can help to train RE teachers in developmentally appropriate practice as well as effective classroom management techniques. Parents of children at PPP, seeing a close relationship and shared philosophies between the two, may be more attracted to join PUUC. Past and current parents will be encouraged to contribute to any of PUUC’s future capital campaigns. Also PPP has an endowment, a large percentage of which is intended to be donated to a church capital campaign. Having a preschool helps to give the church a pillar of stability, making it an anchor of the University City community. It is an additional benefit to families with young children that may join. PPP has an excellent reputation and brings many individuals into the church building, raising PUUC’s profile in the community. It is unlike any preschool in the area and many families travel from surrounding areas to send their children to PPP.
New financial/legal ramifications for PUUC: We are proposing that little will change from the present relationship. No financials will be merged and PPP’s budget will be totally independent, protecting the church from any financial liability. PPP will continue to hold a million-dollar liability insurance policy. The church insurance policy also covers liability in the case of a playground or classroom injury.
Policy and Procedure changes: a document will be created for PUUC Board approval which will clearly delineate the relationship between PPP and PUUC. It will spell out what the preschool is responsible for, and what the church will do, particularly with respect to RE classroom setup and storage space and financial arrangements. A covenant may also be drawn up which will further create a sense of mission between the church and the preschool.
Any other changes anticipated: PUUC will continue to charge PPP for expenses incurred by the program – supplies, utilities, photocopier costs, and so on. The word “rent” may change to “Fair share rate” or other verbiage. PPP will also continue to keep all shared areas clean and organized, maintain the playground, and alert Buildings and Grounds co-chairs of any urgent issues during the week. The Task Force found in its research that it is very common for different groups sharing space to have conflict occasionally, but with honest and open communication it can be worked out amicably. There will be open communication so that friction can be minimized via cross-representation on the PUUC Board and PPP Council. The PUUC Board may appoint a representative to be present at PPP Council meetings, and a PPP Council or staff member may be selected to attend church Board meetings.
Piedmont Progressive Preschool Background: The non-sectarian preschool was founded in 2001 by Susan Burns, a church member, and Mary Coppola. The original plan was for the school to be an outreach of the church, similar to the Open Door School at UUCC, but a few church members expressed concern about financial and legal liability. The PPP founders decided the non-profit school would operate independently as a tenant. It has grown to encompass all classrooms in the PUUC church building; it is well-known throughout the area, with an excellent reputation as a developmentally appropriate, play-based preschool with an emphasis on nature and art. There has always been an active Parent Council with many volunteers, and no financial or legal hurdles have had to be overcome.
PPP Improvements: PPP installed Pergo floors in the classrooms, added many attractive educational materials and furniture that the RE program uses, storage space has been added, the classrooms are kept beautifully maintained, and the playground has been improved and expanded numerous times. PPP parents participate in two workdays per year where they work hard to maintain and improve inside and outside school areas, such as building a garden and creating a composting area. Most recently, all the pressure-treated CCA wood on the play structure was replaced with safer non-treated wood, which was then sealed. All of these contributions have helped PPP staff and parents to have a real sense of connection to PUUC’s interior and exterior space. And of course, there are children who are now in high school that have fond memories of their time at PPP.
History of the Relationship: There have been bumps along the road, mainly to do with sharing space in the classrooms and kitchen. Some church volunteers felt that the preschool was “taking over” limited church space and interfering with RE classrooms, while PPP staff felt unwelcome and that their efforts to keep the premises clean and organized were ignored. As PPP grew, its need for space grew and that caused friction; the classrooms needed to be re-arranged weekly from PPP’s setup to RE’s setup and that also contributed to some frustration on both sides. Since then, a concerted effort has been made to have good working relations between PPP and RE as well as the House Committee, and friction has eased a great deal. In 2011, Rev. Robin Tanner recommended that some kind of relationship parameters be established to make sure that the two organizations complement each other rather than compete. A Task Force met in 2011-12 but was unsuccessful in crafting a working plan – both sides felt the proposed merger was more than either organization wanted.
Current: A new Task Force began meeting in January 2013 which has made a great deal of progress in forging a path ahead. Two informational sessions have been held after the second service and two Blogs have been posted to inform PUUC members. The PUUC-PPP task force believes that the missions of PUUC and PPP are complementary, and that the mission of both groups would benefit from a continued shared relationship. The Sponsored Group status would formalize the relationship, allowing each to function as independent entities, while solidifying their commitment to one another and clarifying the rights and responsibilities of both entities. Sponsored Group status would allow PUUC and PPP to continue to operate as independent 501 C (3) corporations, thus protecting the legal and financial interests of both communities.
***The Board approved the proposal at their 4/18/13 meeting. A letter will be sent to the PPP Parent Council requesting a written application for Sponsorship Group status.

Each affiliated or sponsored group shall:
a. Direct its own programs and functions
b. Be responsible for its own finances, including fund raising and the cost of its activities

UU Principles and PPP
The PPP functions according to a philosophy which closely aligns with UU principles, which are displayed in all the PPP’s classrooms.
Principle 1 The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
Children are taught to behave in ways that reflect respect for each other, their families and their teachers. They learn to use their words to treat everyone as they would wish to be treated.
Principle 2 Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
Classroom management techniques used by teachers encourage justice, equity and compassion through an emphasis on empathy for others while giving everyone a voice.
Principle 3 Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
Children are encouraged to embrace one another’s differences and to ask the big questions, most of which are appropriately answered by their peers rather than adults.
Principle 4 A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
Children are encouraged to ask questions about anything and everything. Nothing is taboo, but developmentally appropriate language is always used by the teachers.
Principle 5 The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
The democratic process is often used in the classroom to make decisions: for instance, voting on what kind of cooking project to make or the next song to sing.
Principle 6 The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
Peace, freedom and justice are lived out small-scale in the classroom every day. Children learn to resolve conflict peacefully through words, they are free to explore the classroom without limits, and everyone gets a turn.
Principle 7 Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
Children spend a majority of their time at PPP outdoors, playing, gardening, walking on the nature trail or picnicking on nice days. This develops a keen sense of love and respect for the environment.

Why is Piedmont Progressive Preschool non-sectarian instead of a Unitarian Universalist preschool?
A Niche that is Unique
Most preschools are either non- profit and religious, or for-profit and non-sectarian. It is very unique to find one that is non-profit and non-religious such as Piedmont Progressive Preschool (PPP). PPP is the only preschool in the University area, which makes it an attractive option for many parents. PPP families drive a long way for this type of preschool – some from as far away at Rock Hill and China Grove.
Needed by non-religious people
A new report on global religious identity shows that while Christians and Muslims make up the two largest groups, those with no religious affiliation — including atheists and agnostics — are now the third-largest “religious” group in the world. The study was released Dec. 18, 2012 by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. Parents who do not wish for their children to have unwanted religious instruction have no choice than to put their children in a for-profit preschool or skip it altogether. For-profit schools have a reputation as corporate and sterile, as well as not offering programs suited to the best interests of the children – for instance, having TVs in every room so the teachers can take a break while children watch. There is a rigid curriculum where there are few opportunities for children to engage in open-ended creativity indoors, nor for them to spend time outside under trees and on grass.
Celebrating Diversity
A religious preschool is by its very nature non-diverse. People of differing religions tend not to choose one outside their denomination. One of PPP’s founding principles is to have a diverse population of children and families to enrich the overall experience for everyone.
Religion having a better place at home and church
Parents have more control over their children’s religious instruction when it comes from them or from their trusted religious childcare providers and clergy.

Are you a steward?
Recently some friends and I were
discussing name origins. One of the names that we discussed was
Stuart. When we looked up the etymology of the name, we found that
it comes from the Scottish steward. A steward was a person who was
responsible for the Laird’s resources – land, money, food,
cattle, horses and everything needed to run an estate.
The question arose about how this
person would operate and what they would do in the modern world.
Airplane flight attendants (formerly known as steward and
stewardesses), and cruise ship attendants were two modern positions
we discussed.
A third includes the steward of a
church. Church stewards manage church resources – building,
grounds, money and people to name a few. They either volunteer or
contribute monetarily to the church or both. A steward should
maintain and wisely use the resources of a church. So are you a
steward? Do you help maintain and use the resources of the church
wisely?
We are currently in our stewardship
campaign which ends in April. This is the time you should make your
commitment to the church to provide, maintain and use the resources
of the church. Have you done so? If not, please do. Our programs
for the next year depend on your commitment.
In Faith,
Lucy Neel
President
