Saturday service – attendance low recently, but some really good discussions. The alternating OpenTopic / homily pattern is working well to keep TED from burning out.

New Business.

• Prosper has ideas for remodeling, reducing prim load in the Sanctuary. Discussion on reducing prim counts, redesign of sanctuary (review of potential future look). Concern that many objects in the sanctuary are not owned by current members.
• Zoe wants to know if we can shop for some newer, smoother dances for the Sanctuary. (Of course!) We talked about linking tempo of songs and dances. TED will send a draft partial list to Zyzzy.
• Zoe also wonders if we should restart the sim periodically to reduce lag. If you’ve noticed that sometimes when you’re trying to walk to the sanctuary, your avatar just takes off and goes and goes, that’s something that can be controlled by restarting the sim maybe weekly or so at a time when not a lot of people tend to be present. Zyzzy will restart the sim periodically and we will see what happens.
• After the meeting adjourns, and before tonight’s service, Zoe needs four or more volunteers to test the seating system in the pagan circle.

UUtopia Report – Zyzzy

• Asgoodson has left their parcel
• Decoration of unowned parcels has started!
• I checked out the auto-playing video in the Library, but it refused to play for me. I didn’t see any reason why that was. In any case, it appears to be set to play for anyone with “autoplay” enabled in their preferences. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing.

Outreach – Et

Library Report – Pomona

• Religious Literacy book group now on hold since Glenacia (the leader) has a new job and wants to wait until sometime in September to see if she can continue as leader. There may be a new day and time set. These discussions should be added to the SL Events calendar. Et explained how to add Events to the SL Calendar.
• Saturday Worship Report (from TED) We’ve been having good discussions on Saturday. Group size varies, from just one to the better part of 10. About half non-overlap with Thursdays. People from Europe. TED will be away Aug 14 and 21 (out 8/9 – 27). Thank you Zyzzy for fixing the jukebox, especially on short notice. Zoe will take 8/14. Pomona will at present take responsibility for putting Saturday services on the Events Calendar; TED wants to learn how to do this also.

• GUEST SPEAKERS PROGRAM: Pomona discussed soliciting our friends to contribute homilies and/or other ideas for services. The avatar “UU Guest Speaker” is a new avatar that Pomona will use to present guest services. If anyone has ideas let us know. “Universalist Recovery Church” has a good blog “Barbara’s Column”; Rev. Barbara Stevens gave Pomona permission to use one of her blogs for a homily on July 22. Jessica Sand of the Vancouver WA congregation provided the homily for the August 19th service, and Jessica even attended the service herself.

Library Report – Pomona

• The Religious Literacy Book Group is meeting Sunday afternoons at 3:30 pm SLT in the Library, where there is now installed a discussion ball and a nice sign about the group. This is led by Glanecia O’Riley (glanecia.varriale). The time was chosen by Glanecia and Too Easily Distracted. At the last meeting, only Glanecia and TED and I were present. Glanecia doesn’t want to be responsible for sending reminders of the meetings, but will allow me to do so. We are currently reading “Religious Literacy” by Stephen Prothero. We will begin discussing “The Left Hand of Darkness” by Ursula K. LeGuin on April 11th. I am not certain this is an optimal time on Sundays, but hopefully it will work. At any rate, I’m going to encourage it as much as possible.

Saturday Worship Report (from TED)

• No one showed up last Saturday, I think because of Equinox parties. Aside from that, good conversations, and always at least a couple of people in the congregation. The alternating weeks of open topic discussion and written service works well for TED.
