Headlines:
Message
from Rev. Jonathan Rehmus
We
are currently considering alternative chalice
lighting words for worship, and it is occasion to
pause on our sense of purpose. The four choices are
given inside. Like the faceted lens that surrounds
the source in lighthouses, the words we say in
unison are important in projecting the meaning of
our flame. They offer verbal shape to the values
that bring us together, and it is important to
consider that our children end up memorizing these
words. In my mind, it is especially because of the
children that the choices share important qualities.
They all ring with the experience of making our way
as a human family. With description or song, they
each lift up the holy. And they are all fueled with
optimism: "the torch called hope,"
"the vision of an Earth more fair," and
"people will find the way."
Yet
with storm clouds of distress and war in the air,
lines of W. H. Auden’s recently caught my eye.
"A chalice lighting for more mature
audiences?" I wondered:
Defenseless
under the night / Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere, / Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just / Exchange their
messages:
May I, composed like them / Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same / Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.
With
whatever words, with whatever glow you cast, keep
the flame alive! Peace
— Jonathan Rehmus

Parents
As Resident Theologians
Do
you wonder how to answer your child’s questions
about religion? Would you like to spend time really
getting to know other parents here at All Souls? Do
you struggle with integrating the holiday traditions
of your own childhood with the religious beliefs of
your adulthood? Do you wonder how to transmit values
to your child in a meaningful and age-appropriate
way?
If
you answered "yes" to any of these
questions then you may be interested in attending
the six-week program titled Parents as Resident
Theologians which is being offered at All Souls
on Monday evenings, beginning October 7th. Sponsored
by the Religious Education committee, with
co-leaders Ruth Sterling and Susan Garfield-Wright,
this program has been popular in the past. It is
great to have it offered again. In addition to
well-organized content that is presented through
discussion and activities, a very important part of
this program is the opportunity to share with other
parents. Questions and pre-registrations should be
directed to Ruth or Susan. Flyers will also be
available at the church after September 29th.
The
Franklin County CROPWALK is a great chance
to raise some significant money that will be used to
alleviate hunger in meaningful and long-lasting
ways. Although this is sponsored by Church World
Service, each pledge donor may earmark their
donation to the alternate relief agency of their
choice, including the Unitarian Universalist Service
Committee. The CROPWALK this year will be on October
20th in Shelburne Falls. It will feature a 4 mile
walk (with shorter loops possible) and several
hunger education activities will be offered along
the way. Please consider joining this inspiring and
very pleasurable event by being a walker or a donor.
All Souls sent several walkers last year. Could we
have ten walkers this year? (If you can’t make the
walk on the 20th, you could collect
pledges for any other activity of your choice.)
There is no reason we couldn’t raise at least
$500.00 towards the county—wide effort. The
CROPWALK motto is "We walk because they
walk" which reminds us of how hard it is for
some folks on this planet to get enough food and
water daily for themselves and their families. Speak
to Susan Garfield-Wright if you are interested in
participating.
"May I help you into your gown m'lady? May I
bring you a leg of mutton and some grog m'lord?"
These are not the kinds of things that I usually say
to my children - or anyone else's for that matter.
But it is the sort of thing I kept saying over and
over as I assumed my role as castle wench at last
year's Enchanted Kingdom. No, this is not an
advertisement for the All Souls creative alternative
to the standard Halloween house of horrors (well,
maybe it is - but just a bit). Nor is it an appeal
for volunteers to help us create and run the massive
undertaking (but let me know if you want to join
us). It is something that I've thought about quite a
bit since last year's Enchanted Kingdom.
I am not a particularly solicitous parents. I
brought my children with me to developing nations,
but didn't bring them to Mommy & Me, Gymboree or
anything with the word "baby" in the
title. On car trips, we are more likely to listen to
NPR than to ABC's. While I know full well that
raising my children is the most important job I will
ever have, on most days, it is not the most
important thing I am doing. Quite often it is the
chapter that I haven't read, or the column that is
overdue, or the phone calls that I have to make or
the dinner that I'm cooking that take precedence
over playing charades or jumping on the trampoline.
Yes, I'll admit it, I have been known (on more than
one occasion) to plop my children in front of the
television in order to squeeze out one more hour for
my own work. It is perhaps, not the best model for
parenthood.
Yet at Enchanted Kingdom magical things happen - to
the children and to the adults. For me, the magic is
in being drawn into the fantasy world of play. The
papers and the phone calls and the dinner fall away
and the only thing that matters is being there -
really being there- with my children. For those few
days, my sole purpose is to make my children happy.
On most other days, making my children happy cannot
be the sole purpose of my life. I suspect that if it
were, I would not be who I am. But I am grateful for
the magic of the Enchanted Kingdom for the few days
that I have it each year.
This year's Enchanted Kingdom will take place on
October 25, 26 and 27th. To help call Elizabeth
Bonney.
In Peace & Hope,
Eve

A
Few Notes About Mid-Week Music
The
Mid-Week Music for this month is:
October
2 – Bob Cummings, piano & Chris Devine,
multi-instrumentalist
October 9 – Rosemary Caine and Jennifer
Caine-Natashon, Harps
October 16 – James Durst, singer/songwriter
October 23 – Adaskin String Trio, Mark Fraser,
cello, Steve Larson, viola, Emlyn Ngai, violin
October 30 – Michael Nix, classical banjo and
guitar
The Mid-Week Music Committee met and have voted to
maintain Jon Rehmus as primary host of Mid-Week
Music as much as possible because it is seen as an
important part of our overall community ministry.
Jon is usually at the church on Wednesdays, anyway,
and has come to know many members of the audience
and the musicians. Jon will call on substitute hosts
on a week to week, as needed, basis, depending on
the demands of his schedule and will ask for
substitutes on the Wednesdays preceding his Sundays
away from the pulpit.
Many thanks to the Coles for keeping the piano in
good tune for our many Wednesday and Sunday
performances

Wheel
of Life
This
is the time of year that the Franklin Area Survival
Center needs fall and winter clothing, especially
for children. Any donations can be left in the
basket to the right of the main entrance. They will
be taken to the center as soon as possible.
Irmarie and Brud Jones
celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary on
September 7 with a quiet family party at home.
If you have noticed how beautiful the grounds at the
Greenfield Public Library look, you can thank Nancy
and Bill Buchanan who have put in
hours planting, watering and weeding throughout the
summer. Marie Beeching is the other
member who chairs the committee.
Craig and Isabel Cole have a
new household member. Her name is Abigail III
because she is their third Boston Terrier with that
name. Isabel explained that because the dog is a Boston
Terrier and they were mindful of her Boston heritage
they felt Abigail would be an appropriate name.
Craig had the same kind of dog during his boyhood.
Her name was Mitzi.
Eleanor Manwell is in the rehab unit
at Sunbridge after a fall.
Dorothy Jorgenson is at The Anchorage
in Shelburne.
Congratulations to Christine Bates who is the
new Youth Director for the Northampton UU Church.
The newly settled minister of All Souls in
Brattleboro, Barbro Hansson, who was
born just north of Stockholm, Sweden, learned about
Unitarian-Universalism through All Souls,
Greenfield, in a round about way . In the September
church newsletter, they printed a twenty-question
interview with her. This was Q & A 13: What drew
you to Unitarian-Universalism? The man I married
(Tom Robinson) in Greece had grown up
mostly in Massachusetts and had been part of a
Unitarian Youth Group in Greenfield. Talking to him,
it was as if a huge window opened and a fresh breeze
blew. I thought, "I’m not weird after all.
There are other people like me, just not in
Sweden." Does anyone remember Tom Robinson?

Community
Meal Wednesday, October 30
Wednesday,
October 30, is the date of our fall commitment to
prepare and serve a Community Meal at the Second
Congregational Church, Court Square, Greenfield. You
can participate in many ways: Make a dish and bring
it to the Second Congregational, volunteer to help,
or donate money to buy provisions. We will be
calling to ask you to help make this event a
success.
There
are at least 70 people waiting to be fed. Three long
tables are set up with casseroles, bread, beverages,
salad and desserts and the group forms two lines to
accelerate the serving process. Second servings are
expected, with leftovers taken home in containers.
The meal is over by 6:30 p.m. Volunteers from All
Souls Church cover the kitchen, taking food out of
the warming ovens and readied for the line. After
dinner, we clean up and leave by 7 p.m. It goes very
quickly.
This
program works in in partnership with the community
to alleviate hunger in Franklin County. It was
started in 1984 by our church’s social justice
group. It’s a great way for us to serve the
greater community and to get to know each other. We
are encouraging All Souls members to sit at the
tables with the Community Meal patrons and get to
know them a bit, too. Eve-Brown Waite and her family
did this last spring and Eve said it was a very
pleasant experience; she still sees the people they
sat with and exchange greetings, and she feels by
doing this we can help break down some barriers
between "us" and "them." Jon
Rehmus and Suzanne Carlson, one of the coordinators
for Community Meals, agree that this is a fine
suggestion.

News
About the CBD Fall Rally and GA 2003
The
Clara Barton District Fall Rally will be on
Saturday, October 26 at the Hopedale Church. Mark
your calendars. The CBD newsIetter, "Call and
Response," which will have more details, will
be mailed to all members. If you do not receive one,
speak to Diane to get a registration form.
Registration will be from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.. Two
sessions of workshops and lunch are part of the day
which ends at 4 p.m. The theme of the conference is
"Communities of Action" and keynote
speaker will be Rev. Jay Deacon from the Northampton
Church. Registration is $25 (or sliding scale $15 to
$35). There will be child care. If you’re thinking
of going, perhaps carpooling can be arranged. Please
speak to Jon or Diane if you would like to consider
this.
Information is coming to the church already
regarding the UUA General Assembly 2003, June
26th–30th at the Hynes Convention Center, Boston. Early
Bird registrations are available through Diane and
must be postmarked by November 15 and are for
full-time participants only. Early Bird fees are
$190 (will be $240 later) or $105 ($130 later) for
youth 14-22, retired minister, spouse of retired
minister, surviving spouse of minister and

Look on the wall of the Parish hall for information
which will be posted as it comes in. Beginning in
October, the GA Office will make available on their
website, www.uua.org/ga,
a list of local hotels with which they have secured
contracts and the rates will be much lower than
published rack rates. In addition to local hotels,
they will continue to offer the popular University
Housing Program, beginning March 1, 2003.
Information of "local hospitality," or bed
and breakfast style housing, is available from the
Mass Bay district at ga03@mbduua.org,
or (617) 542-3231.
Would anyone be interested in going for just one day
and chartering a bus to get us there and back? Do
you have friends/family in the area or near the
trains who could offer lodging whether for free or
very inexpensively? Please let Jon or Diane know so
we can help to organize an effort to get as many of
us to GA as possible.

Coffee
& Soul
The
October 19 concert is being advertised as
"James Durst & Friends." James is an
old friend of Dan Tinen’s and recorded his most
recent CD at Avocet Studios in Shelburne Falls.
Several All Souls members, including Dan, Lynn
Nichols and Don Krüger, are members of his chorus
called "A Choired Taste" who will sing
back-up for several of his songs. Other musicians
joining him will be Fran Borke and Bruce Kahn. The
concert begins at 7:30 p.m. with a one-half hour
open mic and then Francis Doughty, guitarist, will
open. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door,
half-price for seniors, under 18, and open mic
performers.
Our September 21 show with Cheryl Wheeler was a
wonderful experience (and profitable). Many thanks
to all the talented people who continue to make this
venue a possibility and special thanks to our new
crew members, Julia Bond Ellingboe and Christina
Grinnell , whose added energies were much
appreciated.
Have you been admiring the new coffee urns during
Coffee Hour and wondered where they came from?
Carole Groman purchased them with some of the profit
from last season's Coffee & Soul series. They
are strictly for church use, are not to be used by
any outside groups, and are kept in a secret place
in the kitchen. There are warnings printed all over
the boxes, but just in case you don't notice, please
let the covers cool a bit before immersing them in
water or the glass knobs will fracture.
Also new for All Souls this year are two pieces of
sound equipment, plus their stands, also purchased
with Coffee & Soul profit and of general benefit
to the church. Dan Tinen got a a great deal on two
monitors,
a powered Hot Spot and a companion Hot Spot. Cheryl
Wheeler, the ultimate in professionalism and very
particular, used them for the concert on September
21 and complimented Dan after the concert for a job
well done on sound and lighting. Again, these are
for church use only and can only be operated by the
few trained members of the church.

Church
Services Directory?
We
had discussed this before. The Northampton UU Church
has listings inn their newsletter under "UU
Business Services." Among the advertisements
are members who have a B & B, reading tutors,
massage therapy, breast feeding support and real
estate sales. I would like to offer this to All
Souls. The guidelines will be the same as the other
church.: no longer than 75 words, preferably
e-mailed to administrator@uugreenfield.org,
or in person bring to church office. We can see what
develops, whether it can be run on a month to month
basis or merits a separate service directory.

Seek
the Furthest Horizon! Sky Tours for All Ages
Events:
Astronomy
Multi-media Presentation
Sunday, October 6; 4:00 p.m. (free of charge)
All Souls Church; Greenfield
Evening Sky and Naturalism Tours
Thursday — Saturday, October 10-12
5:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. (suggested donation)
The Benson Place Farm; Heath
Join
All Souls minister Jon Rehmus for the best seat in
the house! Beginning this October, the owner of the
Benson Place blueberry farm in Heath has made
available this exquisite 270-degree view of the sky.
See the galaxy as never seen before; watch the glow
of sunset over the ancient standing stones on Burnt
Hill.
Those who plan on attending are encouraged to watch
for clear skies coinciding with one of those nights,
though the tours will have a
weather-geology-naturalism focus if there are
clouds. No use of telescopes is planned —
binoculars are recommended if available -- and the
focus is on unaided exploration and learning.
"Unless it is raining or snowing, a visit to
this gorgeous hilltop is worth it under a variety of
conditions," to quote from the press release.
"And whatever the weather, dress in winter-like
layers with hats and gloves." Rehmus was
trained in astronomy education at the University of
California at Irvine and led similar tours there and
when he taught natural history at the Academy at
Charlemont.
The 3-night set outdoors is preceded by a free
multi-media presentation at the church. The first of
these is Sunday, October 6 at 4:00 p.m. (the
November one will be in Shelburne Falls). These
presentations are an entertaining chance to learn
about astronomy, skygazing, and some of the
phenomena to be seen from Heath.
The outdoor program will have a charge that supports
the Environmental Justice/Open Land Preservation
work of the Social Action Committee. For church
members: $5 for adults, $2 for children, $7.50 for
families of 3 or more. Repeat visits ($2 regardless
of age) are encouraged: it’s the best way to
learn, and the view changes with the months and time
of day!
Directions:
Take Mohawk Trail/Rte 2 to Shelburne Falls. Follow
signs for 112 north. Get on 112 N and from the point
of the Rte 2 overpass, go 3.7 mi. Just beyond
factory area in Colrain, turn left on Adamsville Rd.
(crossing bridge). Go 1.6 mi. (keeping to left at
T/Yield signs) to Heath Rd. Turn left, crossing
small bridge. Go 3.9 mi. on Heath Rd., staying
straight ahead almost entire way (at 1.8 mi. stay on
pavement bearing rt.; at 2.7 mi., road turns to
dirt). When you cross the pond, you’re almost
there! Turn left (steep uphill) on Flagg Hill Rd.,
go almost .5 mi., turn rt. at fork (see sign for
"Benson Place" on telephone pole). Go 1.3
mi. to the end of the road and park near shed.

We
hope you can join us for this energizing experience.
All ages are invited. Ellen is a wonderful

free. Pre-registration is appreciated. Bring your
own drums and rhythm instruments, if possible, and
Ellen also brings extra drums to share.

Holiday
Fair Update
The
Holiday Fair Committee reminds you that the Fair is
November 23. We need helpers. We will meet at
the Buchanan’s home every Saturday morning from
9:30 – 12, until November 23rd. We will
have a job for anyone who shows up. Sewing, gluing,
painting, cooking, etc. Please mark your calendars.
Remember, the congregation voted to raise $5000 this
year–that’s a lot of person hours. We will try
to have someone call to remind you but please feel
free to phone us to ask what’s happening and what
you can do to help. (Nancy Buchanan and Anne Hare.)
It is also time to begin a search for antiques,
collectibles and gifts. Check your attic, basement,
closets and garages. We want things for our special
Antiques, Collectables and Gifts room. This is a
significant part of our Fair income. This is not the
time to bring rummage, this is the time to sort your
jewelry, part with a loved but no longer used vase,
picture, ornament, silver tray, or grandma’s
quilt. Think of things you would purchase for a
gift. That wedding present you have never displayed?
That fancy kitchen gadget you have never used? Your
gift will be deductible!
Theme
basket suggestions for Sundays in October:
October
6 – Breakfast/brunch treats. Syrups, jams, jellies
October 13 – Candles
October 20 – Happy Hour goodies. Wine, nuts,
olives, etc. Wine glasses
October 27 – Kitchen gadgets
You are also welcome to bring any of the items you
may have forgotten last month! Chocolate, tea,
coffee, lavender, books and CDs…
Other
things that go well in baskets have been coffee
mugs, china cups and saucers, mysteries, and holiday
ornaments.

Music
To Talk With
Our
very first musical experience during "Coffee
(and conversation) Hour" got off to a fine
start with the contribution of Rev. Jon Rehmus'
casette tape of Hindu Indian music by Ravi Shankar.
Did you hear it on Sunday, Septeber 22? Then THANK
YOU, JON. If You have music from an ethnic
culture of color (African, Chinese, Japanese, Indian
or Native American) please sign up on the
sign-up sheet that is on the bulletin board in the
Parish Hall. For more information, call Avis.

Church
Directory Needs Updating
We
probably won’t be producing a new directory for a
few more months, but it isn’t too early to begin
adding to it, changing it, or correcting it. A
"master copy" will be in the Parish Hall
alongside a sign-up sheet for members and friends
who would like to be included in the next directory.

Plant
Sitters Needed
Jean
Cummings has raised a number of plants during the
summer but cannot take care of all of them from
mid-October on when she must bring them in from her
porch. She is in need of five or six people willing
to nurture 3 to 5 plants each from mid-October until
the Holiday Fair. If you are can do this, please
call Jean.

Enchanted
Kingdom
Friday,
October 25, 6-8:30 p.m.,
Saturday,
October 26, 4 — 9 p.m.,
Sunday,
October 27, 2 — 5 p.m.
The All Souls R.E. Committee will again create this
event as an alternative to scary haunted houses. We
will be charging admission so this is a fundraiser
as well. These will be our enchanted spaces:
*
Fairy Land
* Elf Forest
* Magical Castle
*
Under the Sea
* Outer Space
* Any ideas??
The
fantasy spaces are not only fun to be in, but
provide interactive entertainment for people as
young as two.
We need volunteers to set-up, clean up and
participate in this event and to volunteer to
provide and sell food for a bake sale in the Parish
Hall during the event. We will begin our work
immediately following the Friendship Luncheon on
October 20 and continue throughout the week. We are
asking for people to help create the spaces and to
sign up for 1-1/2 hour shifts during the event.
Please see or call Elizabeth Bonney to sign up.
We need materials to decorate each of these rooms.
Please search your homes for items, such a solid
colored sheets, plants, artificial flowers, costumes
for play in any of the rooms, "precious"
items for the treasure chest, duct tape, lava lamps,
strobe lights, mirrors or other reflective items,
black lights, holiday stars, glittery or gauzy sheer
fabrics, and any other items you think might fit
into our themes and bring to church as soon as
possible.

Ways and Means News
There
are several fundraising projects that are already
off to promising starts, but it is important that
EVERYONE find a way to contribute to the efforts of
our congregation in raising the $5000. voted in the
budget for 2002-2003 year. I can’t imagine that
ANYONE would like to face the prospect of what we
would cut from the budget (mid-year no less!) should
we fail to meet our promise. What can you do?
The Holiday Fair Committee is hard at work, with a
date set for mid-November. The amazing quilt is
completed and the very important task now is to sell
raffle tickets. Proceeds from that will go towards
the accessibility fund and the rest of the Holiday
Fair income will help the Ways & Means line
item. Get involved right now in some aspect of the
Fair that appeals to you – crafts, food (a
particular emphasis this year), set-up and clean-up,
woodwork, etc. Give someone on the Fair committee a
call – today.
In past years, theme baskets have been a big hit at
the Holiday Fair. Please read the article from the
Fair Committee to find out what items you can bring
to church each and every Sunday morning to help in
filling these basket.
Coffee is now available (for immediate purchase and
pre-ordering) at Sunday morning Coffee Hours. Don
Kruger and Lynn Nichols are generously donating
their time to collect and process orders to Dean’s
Beans and then arranging for pick-up each week. The
coffee is organic and "fair trade" so this
project helps coffee farmers as well as the church.
Order some next week!
Exciting news: Barbara Keith (Ginny Low’s
daughter) and the Stone Coyotes have agreed to a
benefit concert for All Souls to be held on February
8th. Save the date now. This will require energy and
effort and support. Can you do your part?
The Enchanted Kingdom is likely to happen – thanks
to Elizabeth Bonney and a dedicated group of
volunteers. Some of this money will be used for
specific RE needs and other money will be for the
Ways & Means line item. Similarly, Coffee &
Soul will earmark some "profit" for
equipment improvements and additional money for Ways
& Means.
Other ideas still need YOU to help them materialize.
If none of these make sense to you, come up with
your own idea, share it with me, and get some other
folks together to make it happen. We are an amazing
group of folks and WE CAN DO THIS!
