Revolution Church cancels
RevKids and RevStudents
In an effort to be a good
community partner, we have
made the decision not to host
RevKids and RevStudents in-
person for the next two
weeks, beginning January 10.
Our local hospitals are
currently overwhelmed, our
county schools are doing on
line learning, and since social
distancing is challenging to
maintain with kids and stu
dents, we felt it was neces
sary to not host in-person
gatherings for those age
groups. For those of you with
kids/students, we will have
an online curriculum avail
able for RevKids and online
gatherings for RevStudents
on Wednesdays over the next
two weeks.
We are still gathering in-
person with adults at our reg
ular gathering times, and
kids/students 3rd grade and
older are welcome to attend
our adult gathering. We will
also continue to host Revolu
tion Online for those unable
to gather in-person. We know
this is a difficult time, and we
are doing our best to continue
to be a light to our communi
ties.
If you have RSVP’d your
children for RevKids tomor
row, we are so sorry for this
inconvenience. If your kid(s)
are 3rd grade and above, they
are welcome to attend the
adult gathering with you.
Come Grow with Us in Christ!

Mt. Zion continues
in-person services
Out of an abundance of
conviction, Mt. Zion Baptist
Church remains committed
to maintaining public, in-per-
son worship services for our
church family and the com
munity as we move forward
into uncertain times. As we
have held in-person services
without intemiption since
Memorial Day of last year, so
we believe that the opportu
nity to gather for public wor
ship is essential to the
spiritual health of our congre
gation and those around us
we seek to minister to. We go
to great lengths to ensure a

On Sunday, January 17,
Rev. Jonathan Rogers pres
ents "Democracy as Rela

UU Principle calls on us to
promote "the right of con
science and the use of the
democratic process." Na
tional UU the Vote Organizer
Nicole Pressley writes "orga
nizing and relationship build
ing we do in the course of
electoral work is the site of
the necessary ideological and
spiritual transformation that
allows us to imagine and call
forth a new world together."
As we look back on an elec
tion cycle that highlighted
both the importance and the
limitations of electoral work,
this service will examine the
spiritual and organizing les
sons we can bring with us
moving forward.
Mountain Light UUC,
2502 Tails Creek Road (GA-
282 West), in Ellijay, wel
comes guests of all faiths,
ethnicities, and gender iden
tifications. Our worship serv

us at 10 for fellowship.
Minister’s
Corner
By Rev. Tony Elder
I received a copy of
the late Alex Trebek’s au
tobiography for Christ
mas. At one point in that
volume, he was suggest
ing reasons for the popu
larity of the game show
he had hosted for so
many years, Jeopardy. He
believed part of it may be
due to the fact that Amer
icans tend to be so com
petitive. That spirit would
come into play even
within families as they
watched the show to
gether.
Do you tend to be
competitive? Some peo
ple view such a quality as
being out of line with the
spirit we should be mani
festing as followers of
Christ. They see it as
something we need to re
strain or try to rid our
selves of altogether.
While there are certainly
aspects of it we need tone
down or keep in proper
perspective, I don’t be

Rewrite
Your Life
Writing can help us deal with many of life's
problems. Many teenagers have weathered the
storm and stress of those turbulent years by
keeping a journal, and that same practice can help
virtually anyone who can express him or herself in
writing. Writing about our fears and anxieties has
a way of making them a little less scary and often
gives us insight into how to resolve the situation.
It can also be helpful to write about our lives in a
way that essentially rewrites the story. Someone
who is feeling a lack of courage might write about
themselves displaying courage. We all have stories
to tell, and in thinking about our lives we have a
tendency to place our lives into an overarching
narrative. That is, we tell ourselves a particular
story that makes sense of our life. The story we
tell as a teenager is likely to be very different from
the one we tell in our twenties or thirties, and
there is obviously some wisdom to periodically
updating our story. What is the story that you
currently tell about your life, and how would you
like to see it changed? As we get older, and
especially as we approach our "golden years," we
should think more about whether our story really
does fit the life we have lived, and the story that
we hope our life will someday tell. We should also
remember that the final version can't be written
until our life is complete.
