Meet in South Hall. \nWe turn to the Prophets for man y reasons: comfort\, inspiration\, instruction\, warning. We also turn to their message when we feel we have few other ways to hear God’s word in a loud and angry world. The Prophets often spoke most directly when the pe ople faced a real crisis\, whether the people knew it or not. Most of all\ , we turn to them for word that God remains with us\, that even in the har shest judgment of our wrongs\, there remains hope that with God’s love\, our hopes will bear fruit. In this study\, we will look at key moments in the Prophet Isaiah’s teaching that reveal God’s perspective and will\ , especially in times of crisis and doubt. \nRegister LAST-MODIFIED:20260916T091419Z LOCATION:Forest Hill Church\, 3031 Monticello Blvd\, Cleveland Heights\, O H\, 44118\, United States URL:https://fhcpresb.org/event/asg-fall-2026/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_ medium=ics&utm_campaign=cleveland-oh X-SOURCE-NAME:Forest Hill Church\, Presbyterian X-SOURCE-URL:https://fhcpresb.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Fabulous Fungi DTSTART:20260920T170000Z DTEND:20260920T190000Z DTSTAMP:20260916T090943Z UID:10005198-1789909200-1789916400@www.summitmetroparks.org CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Join a naturalist as we explore the hidden world of mushrooms.

Randy Partain\n\n\n\nFacilitators do not make that transformation happen by the mselves. They help create the conditions for it: a covenant people can use \, room for different voices\, careful listening\, and ways to respond whe n a group gets stuck. \n\n\n\nUUCC is offering this participatory training twice. Both sessions cover the same material. Choose the one that works f or you. \n\n\n\n\nSunday\, September 20\, 3:00–7:30 p.m. Supper include d.\n\n\n\nSaturday\, October 3\, 9:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Lunch included.\n\ n\n\n\nRegister for Facilitating Connection. Please register by September 14 so we can plan the training sessions\, meals\, childcare\, and access support. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThis training is for: \n\n\n\n\ nPeople who currently lead or facilitate a UUCC group\n\n\n\nPeople intere sted in facilitating one of our new Chalice Circles\n\n\n\nAnyone who want s to develop facilitation skills for a future role at UUCC\n\n\n\n\nYou do not need previous facilitation experience to attend. If you are interest ed but unsure about taking on a facilitation role\, the training gives you a chance to learn\, practice\, and explore before deciding. Curiosity can open opportunities we didn’t know existed. \n\n\n\nWhat will we do?\n\n \n\nWe will experience some of the practices ourselves and then look at wh at a facilitator is paying attention to. Together\, we will work on: \n\n\ n\n\nCreating a covenant made of mutual promises\n\n\n\nListening without immediately advising\, fixing\, or redirecting the conversation\n\n\n\nHel ping more people participate\n\n\n\nResponding when one person dominates\, the group moves off track\, or someone makes a harmful comment\n\n\n\nKno wing when to handle something within the group and when to ask for support \n\n\n\n\nWe will try out brief responses to situations that arise in real groups rather than spending the day talking about facilitation in theory. \n\n\n\nWhy this matters\n\n\n\nFacilitating a UU group is a form of shar ed ministry. It is one of the places where we practice our values\, learn to live in covenant\, and help create a congregation where more people can participate and belong. \n\n\n\nHaving people with different levels of ex perience will strengthen the training. Current leaders can bring real situ ations and practices that have worked\, while newer facilitators can bring the questions they are still exploring. \n\n\n\nThe registration form inc ludes space to share dietary needs and request childcare or other access s upport. \n\n\n\nChoose your training session and register here. Please re gister by September 14 so we can plan the training sessions\, meals\, chil dcare\, and access support. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

What began as a significant human righ ts concern has also become a trade and commercial one: Xinjiang is a major global source of raw materials and components that are used in products w orldwide. With the passage of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in 20 21\, U.S. importers now face a legal presumption that goods with ties to t he region are made with forced labor. Supply chain due diligence now sits at the intersection of human rights\, national security\, and everyday bus iness practice. \nCCWA is honored to be joined by Nury Turkel\, one of the world’s leading voices on Uyghur human rights\, to discuss the crisis i n Xinjiang and its implications for the global economy. How did a regional campaign of repression become embedded in international supply chains? Wh at leverage do companies\, consumers\, and governments have to pressure Ch ina into reforms? \nNury Turkel is an attorney\, author\, and human rights advocate\, and the first U.S.-educated Uyghur-American lawyer. Born in a re-education camp during China’s Cultural Revolution\, he came to the Un ited States in 1995 and was later granted asylum. He co-founded the Uyghur Human Rights Project\, and served as a Commissioner on the U.S. Commissio n on International Religious Freedom from 2020 to 2024\, including as Chai r from 2022 to 2023. His recommendations were incorporated into both the U yghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 and the Uyghur Forced Labor Preventi on Act of 2021. His law practice focuses on export controls\, economic san ctions\, and supply chain due diligence. He is the author of No Escape: Th e True Story of China’s Genocide of the Uyghurs\, winner of the 2023 Moo re Prize for Human Rights Writing\, and was named to the TIME 100 in 2020 and Fortune’s World’s 50 Greatest Leaders in 2021. \n\nPlease note tha t this event will be held at the Martin L.

From ancient agricultural traditions to contemporary conversations about enviro nmental responsibility\, this program traces how the cycles of planting\, harvest\, and gratitude have shaped Jewish life for generations. \nAt the center of the discussion is Sukkot\, the Jewish harvest festival\, a holid ay that invites reflection on abundance\, vulnerability\, and our relation ship with the earth. Drawing on her expertise in religion and environmenta l studies\, Dr. Krone will explore the rich symbolism of Sukkot\, from the temporary shelter of the sukkah to the ritual of the Four Species\, and c onsider what these longstanding traditions can teach us about sustainabili ty\, stewardship\, and community today. \nAlong the way\, we’ll explore some larger questions: How do religious traditions shape the way we unders tand and care for the natural world? What wisdom can ancient agricultural practices offer in the face of modern environmental challenges? And how ca n seasonal rituals help us cultivate gratitude\, responsibility\, and a de eper connection to the world around us? \nWhether you’re deeply familiar with Jewish traditions or simply curious about the intersection of faith\ , culture\, and the environment\, this program offers a meaningful perspec tive on the season of harvest\, reflection\, and renewal.
