Thursday Worship Report (Sofia & Zoe)
Here is the upcoming schedule for Thursday services through December of 2022. Note the color-coded blocks. Please double check the schedule for accuracy and availability. (The regular rotation is Zyzzy-Zoe-Sofia). I have included the pagan holidays led by Zoe, Raven and Prosper in the rotation following requests as indicated in earlier minutes. Hyacinth had volunteered to lead a service for November 17th but that has become impossible for her, because a new job will keep her busy Thursday evenings for some time. She hopes to soon be able to offer special services on Tuesdays at her place in UUtopia, and she still hopes to lead a Thursday night service at some time.
The following special services are included in the schedule:
October 27th (Samhain/Final Harvest) Raven
November 24 (Thanksgiving Dinner) Sofia
December 15th (Yule)*Raven
December 22 (Tiny Carolers) Zoe
The (somewhat) regular rotation proceeds as follows:
| 6-Oct | Zyzzy |
| 13-Oct | Zoe |
| 20-Oct | Sofia |
| 27-Oct | Raven/Samhain |
| 3-Nov | Zyzzy |
| 10-Nov | Zoe |
| 17-Nov | Sofia |
| 24-Nov | Sofia |
| 1-Dec | Zoe |
| 8-Dec | Zyzzy |
| 15-Dec | Raven/Yule |
| 22-Dec | Zoe – Tiny C. |
| 29-Dec | Sofia |
| 5-Jan | Zyzzy |
Raven will send Sofia the dates for 2023 Pagan services
Saturday service – TED
- News from TED: cataract surgery Nov8-11. Hoping to be at Saturday Service Nov12. Someone has been coming to SatSvc from Germany; Thurs evening service is inconvenient time. One of TED’s client/friends died Oct19, TED may end up executor.
- Does anyone want to be a standby backup leader for Nov12? Sofia will do it.
New Business
- Anti-Griefer Stuff: since a recent episode with trolls at the service, some of us would like info on how to eject and ban people. Also, we may want to review our land permissions and make sure all LG members have the ability to eject and ban people sim-wide and not only on one parcel at a time. Zoe has copied some of her old security info from Dublin years ago, and will share a folder of those notecards at our meeting, that we can look over at our leisure, as examples of anti-griefer procedures. (MOVE TO OLD BUSINESS FOR NEXT MEETING)
- Proposal from Zyzzy to delete 3 of 4 users in fuucsl.org google workplace – agreed Zyzzy should do so
- This would reduce our monthly cost from $12 to $3
- Login info would be shared with LG
Next meeting: December 1 at 5:30 pm SLT at Sofia’s North Island
Our next meeting is the combined November, December meeting, on December 1. (Remember we have one meeting in early December, instead of the two in November and December, to avoid holiday conflicts.)
The meeting was adjourned at 5:57 pm SLT.
Parking Lot: (revisit or delete)
- FOR NEXT MEETING, Should we as a congregation endorse the 8th principle? Sofia will take it as a topic in her series on the principle on November 17
- 8th principle: wait for sermon to discuss this
