=============================================== SCOL NEWS =============================================== Moving to Two In-Person SCOL Services: Our church is planning to begin having two hybrid services (services that are in-person at UUFSB and also live-streamed on Zoom) a month at UUFSB starting in October. Hybrid services for November will be on Nov.5 and Nov.19. For the months that follow, wait for additional emails with more information. If we have enough people attending these two services, we will continue to have two hybrid services for the months that follow. At this point, we are not requiring you to wear a mask but you may certainly do so. (Health protocols may change due to changing NY state and UUFSB mandates.) The room for our services in the Religious Education wing has two portable air-purifying systems that will be used during the time we are there. We require a minimum of four people to attend (not counting the platform workers and helpers). Please let us know if you can commit to coming, and how often, to our hybrid services. Also, we are looking for more people to serve at our hybrid services.

Generation Paper: Fast Fashion of the 1960s Exhibition highlights include garments that mimicked kitchen countertop patterns, a promotional for Viking appliances; children’s dresses featuring Captain Kangaroo and Flintstones cartoons; a dress and matching placemats and napkins by Seagram’s 7, created so the ultimate party hostess could match her décor; and, mostly notably, the Campbell’s Souper Dress and the first two original Paper Caper dresses from Scott Paper Company. Altogether, Generation Paper examines how the whimsical and short-lived paper-dress trend of the 1960s was a period of experimentation that informs many modern textiles of today and will continue to influence the textiles of tomorrow. https://phxart.org/exhibition/generation-paper/ The Last Scattering Surface by Josiah McElheny, 2006. Designed for the Museum’s expansive Greenbaum Lobby, this iconic glass sculpture, often described as a chandelier or a glass snowflake, is typically one of the first artworks visitors encounter. Part of the American artist’s Big Bang Series, it attempts to explain the creation of the universe, its bright center emitting radiant extensions that allude to the theory that the universe emerged rapidly from an extremely dense state more than 14 billion years ago. The sculpture’s title is drawn from a scientific term describing the moment the universe transitioned from densely opaque to transparent, when light particles separated from matter and began to travel freely through space. The object’s design is based on a 1965 chandelier commission for the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. https://phxart.org/blog/let-there-be-light/ Les arceaux fleuris, Giverny (Flowering Arches, Giverny) by Claude Monet, 1913. Monet is considered by art historians to be the quintessential Impressionist. One of his earlier paintings gave the movement its name when the art critic, Louis LeRoi, referred to Impression: Sunrise, 1872, as not a painting, but an impression. Monet painted out-of-doors on an unprimed canvas. He depicted a subject as the eye perceives it in a given moment in time, not as clarified by the artist. His use of short brushstrokes and a rich impasto (heavy laying-on of paint) give this work a textural quality. The artist achieved a shimmering effect by placing contrasting colors next to each other like red and green, each intensifying the other. Notice the lack of a horizon line. Monet was revising the way a landscape should appear. https://phxart.org/arts/les-arceaux-fleuris-giverny-flowering-arches-giverny-arcos-florecientes-giverny/ In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary  Postcard from Phoenix, Arizona.

Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms. Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs. Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know. To request that a name or situation be placed on this healing list, please send a note to summerlandchurchoflight@gmail.com Prayer for Spiritual Healing I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force To remove all obstructions From my mind and body And to restore me to perfect health. I ask this in all sincerity and honesty And I will do my part. I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force To help both present and absent ones Who are in need of help And to restore them to perfect health. I put my trust and love in the power of God.
Prayers for all those who have experienced violence and abuse. Prayers for areas affected by recent natural disasters around the globe. It is a pleasure for us to serve Spirit and our community.
