Join us this Sunday for the last installment in our July worship series, Interdependence, as our minister, Lóre Stevens, leads the service. Her message is entitled, “Abundance Mindset.”

We live in a culture that emphasizes scarcity. We can never have or be enough: enough money, belongings, status; smart enough, attractive enough, charming enough. Many suggest that these false scarcities create a market for profitable solutions. But our value of Interdependence invites us to consider the abundance that is always around us and generates from us, if we only care to share.

Join us this Sunday for our July worship series, Interdependence, as Worship Leader David Savoie shares his message, “We Are One.”

Let us consider Interdependence as referring to how we as human beings owe our existence to the universe, to this world within which we are born, live and die. Our humanity depends upon this world. The answer to the question of our identity, of what we are, must include all “this”. No one thing, or person, stands alone or exists by itself; we are a part of the whole. We are One. If we were to know this deeply, how would we understand our responsibility for ourselves? How would we see each other? How would we live?

This fund exists to kindle the sparks of leadership among Unitarian Universalist youth and young adults. The fund supports scholarships, grants, and youth and young adult projects, conferences, outreach, and more. Katie was a rising leader in the UU movement when she sadly passed away in 2009 on her way home from General Assembly in Salt Lake City. She was only 21. Katie’s parents, Karen and Herb Tyson, had a vision for youth and young adults to be empowered to live out their dreams, to weave our Unitarian Universalist principles into the fabric of their expanding lives, and to encourage others to do the same.

Join us this Sunday for our June worship series, Freedom as Worship Associate David Savoie and members of the Buddhism Study Group lead worship. The sermon is titled, “Freedom to Be What we have always been”.  

What does it take to be our most free, most authentic selves?  Perhaps that is something that cannot be pursued, or found, or constructed but is rather the unveiling, the realization, that happens when we put ourselves aside and pursue the Goodness, the Sacred, the Light, which is within us and around us. We seek wisdom in the Buddhist Metta Sutta and in Christian scripture Matthew 16:25.

Diantha Jane (Francis) Paré was born September 27, 1929 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and passed away in Oberlin, Ohio on June 21, 2024. A short memorial service will take place Thursday, June 12 at 7 p.m. at ORUUC with a casual reception to follow. All are welcome to come and celebrate their lives.

Diantha graduated from Cornell University in 1950 in Home Economics (as it was called then) with an emphasis on Early Childhood Development. She later received her MS in Special Education in 1968 from UT. Diantha married Vic Paré in 1950 and they moved to Oak Ridge. They were married a loving 66 years (Vic passed in 2017). Diantha taught Special Education in the Oak Ridge Schools from 1969-1987, but her service/care for Oak Ridge was so much bigger than that. The list of the groups she volunteered with would take another page. Some highlights were her involvement with the League of Women Voters (president, state board, other posts), Tennesseans for Fair Taxation, chair of the Reconciliation Group for the Friendship/Peace bell that hangs in the Bissell Park, part of the founding board for the Sallie McCaskill Scholarship fund, and program director for the first local Head Start program in 1965.

On June 21, 1998, the City declared Diantha Paré Day to celebrate her many contributions to Oak Ridge. Diantha and Vic both volunteered for ADFAC for 20 years. I am sure that everyone who reads this can think of something that Diantha did to better her community. In 2009, Diantha and Vic moved to Oberlin, Ohio and lived there in a continuing care community, near their daughter, Suzy. A lovely memorial service was held for Diantha in September 2024 at the local Unitarian Fellowship and at Kendal at Oberlin, attended by friends and many family members.

While living in Oak Ridge, Diantha was very involved in the local Unitarian Church and served on many committees, one of which created the Memorial Garden for church members. It is fitting that she and Vic will have their ashes interred there.

Diantha is survived by daughter Suzy (Cleveland, Ohio), son Steve (Houston, TX) and granddaughter Leah (Queens, NY). In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to ADFAC or the Sallie McCaskill Scholarship Fund.

Join us this Sunday for our June worship series, Freedom. Our minister, Lóre Stevens, will lead worship and share a sermon entitled, “Liberation Theocracy”.

The Split-the-Plate recipient for May is the Scarboro 85 Monument. In 1955, Oak Ridge and 85 courageous young students from the Scarboro Community made history, becoming the first public school district in the Southeast to desegregate. The goal is to create a truly striking and original monument for Bissell Park to honor those students, to inspire us, and to convey who we are to the many visitors and workers who come to Oak Ridge. The placement of the Scarboro 85 Memorial in Bissell Park in proximity and in harmony with the Friendship Bell Peace Pavilion emphasizes the strong relationship between them, thus further elevating the status of the park as a major stop along the Civil Rights Trail and Oak Ridge as a place that champions peace and justice. ORUUC has always been a supporter of equality and the rights of all. We need to step up and do the right thing. We can never forget. Please GIVE HERE as you are willing and able, or text “ORUUC” to 73256.

The Minister’s Discretionary Fund also helps people in the larger Oak Ridge community with utility bills, food, and gas. When folks in need call the church for emergency assistance, the Minister’s Discretionary Fund is where the money comes from to pay a bill or offer relief. The fund is completely confidential: If you’re in need, only the minister need know, in order to access the fund. The Minister’s Discretionary Fund is available only through your generous contributions. Please GIVE HERE as you are willing and able, or text “ORUUC” to 73256.
