A.J. and will be available in a limited way until our new minister comes on Board to help direct us further on our Covenant of Right Relations. Each member of the team has been trained by The Mediation Center and will be available to help with conflict resolution between congregation members. Talk with one of us or email to ask questions or get started. Introducing again: Steve Enersen ~ [email protected]; Priscilla Handy ~ [email protected]; LauraLee Clinchard ~ [email protected] Stop by to see the awesome quilts this month! The Tuesday Morning Quilting Group began meeting at Roxanne O’Hare’s shop in Bethany in 1991. The members mastered many quilting styles and techniques, from appliqué to English paper piecing and everything in between. Some members quilt by hand, while others prefer machine quilting. Ultimately, a love of fabric and friendship binds the group. Each month we change the artwork in the Gallery at the Unitarian Church of Lincoln. Thank you to the Art Gallery team for keeping this long-standing tradition alive!   Once a year at the Spring Congregational Meeting, our members vote on ten organizations for Share the Plate. This month, we are giving Planned Parenthood all monies received for the Share the Plate program. The DONATE page has info about how to give.
On March 8, we will welcome Chauncey Brown from Planned Parenthood North Central States (PPNCS) as a recipient of our Share the Plate Program. PPNCS serves communities across Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota with a mission rooted in care, education, and advocacy. Their work centers on ensuring that every person—no matter their income, zip code, gender identity, or immigration status—has access to high-quality, compassionate reproductive and sexual health care. In recent months, PPNCS has expanded telehealth services, helping patients in rural and underserved areas receive birth control, STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, gender-affirming care, and abortion services. As laws and policies continue to shift across the region, PPNCS has worked diligently to keep patients informed about their options and to connect them with financial assistance, travel support, and accurate medical information. Beyond the clinic walls, PPNCS provides comprehensive sexuality education programs that equip young people and adults with medically accurate, values-based information. Their advocacy team partners with faith leaders, community members, and policymakers to defend bodily autonomy and protect access to essential health services. For Unitarian Universalists committed to justice, equity, and compassion, the mission of PPNCS reflects our shared belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the right of all people to make informed decisions about their own bodies and futures.
