CONFRONTING INCIVILITY
From the schoolroom to the boardroom and the
halls of Congress, from the streets of Chicago to our
family dinner tables, we are increasingly
bombarded by rude, uncivil, even violent behavior.
Often the media, TV shows and the internet seem to
encourage and provoke this lack of respect for each
other, our religious beliefs, our political values and
our institutions. It’s time we address this as a
Christian community.
On the afternoon of Sunday, October 24, UCC’s
Endowment for Creative Ministry is bringing
another stimulating program to our church. The
topic is Confronting Incivility: Living Our Spiritual
Values. Rev. Dr. Bob Lively will present his
perspectives, followed by a choice of four break-out
groups on timely issues of incivility, and ending
with a large group discussion.
Rev. Dr. Bob Lively is an ordained Presbyterian
minister, theologian, newspaper columnist, speaker,
and author of books and award-winning short
stories, Dr. Lively is known for his great
storytelling style. He will address the topic of
incivility from Christian perspectives, promoting
spiritual transformation in an age of self-absorption.
He will also lead a small-group session on incivility
in the workplace.
Julia Span will be leading a group on abuse in the
home and family. Ms. Span has been Executive
Director of SafePlace in Austin since 2005, where
she previously served as Chief Program Officer.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a
Master’s degree in Social Work, she brings 22 years
of experience in the human services field, and has
led agency and community planning efforts focused
on women and children’s issues, poverty, basic
needs and homelessness.
Jill Kolasinski founded the Knowledge is Power
Program (KIPP) in Austin Public Schools in 2002,
after learning first-hand about the educational
Number 9
inequities for students as a teacher in East Austin.
She served as a pioneer teacher at the original KIPP
Academy in Houston. KIPP schools have an
outstanding record for putting underserved students
on the path to college. Ms. Kolasinski will be
leading a small-group discussion on instilling
civility in our schools.
Melody Chatelle, PhD., will be leading a group in
exploring civility & incivility in our public life and
the media. Dr. Chatelle is a respected and effective
veteran in the national and state legislative arenas.
She is president of Chatelle and Associates, her own
political and communications consulting company,
founded in 1999. Prior to that she worked for 12
years as Director and Vice President of Government
Affairs for Mariner Post-Acute Network, a large
health care company, and 10 years as a legislative
aide to a former Texas State Senator now serving in
the US Congress, and aide to the Speaker of the
Texas House of Representatives.
Please put this event on your calendar. The program
will begin at 1:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall and
last two hours. Between the church worship service
and this special program, the Endowment is offering
lunch and fellowship.

On Christmas Night
World Premiere Composed and Conducted by Bob Chilcott
Preparations continue for the world premiere of On Christmas Night by celebrated British choral
composer Bob Chilcott. Mr. Chilcott will be our guest for the final rehearsals and to conduct the
premiere’s two performances on December 12, 2010, at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.
The work is a sequence of music and readings for the festive season which combines new
arrangements of well-known and well-loved carols with some newly-composed Christmas carols.
It was commissioned by and written for University Christian Church, thanks to a generous
bequest from the Estate of Roy Cates, and the work will be in memory of Dr. Lawrence W. Bash,
Senior Minister at UCC from 1949 to 1959.
In addition to the performances, we will have several wonderful opportunities to visit with Mr.
Chilcott. Question and answer sessions with this engaging and well-known composer are
scheduled 45 minutes prior to both performances, and receptions will also follow both in the
Fellowship Hall.
We have received the music for On Christmas Night, and it is lovely. The choir has begun
rehearsing it, and the choreographer has begun her work on the choreography for the dancers
and pageant participants.
The Endowment for Creative Ministry has graciously and generously agreed to support the
advertising of the performances. The Communications Council, working with the Chilcott
Commission Committee – Mary Lu Johnston, Sue Moss, Cathie Parsley, Nancy
Schuele, Gaye Lynn Scott, Joan Snodgrass, and Rhonda Watson – has been formulating
an advertising plan that will reach audiences in Austin and Central Texas for whom On
Christmas Night and Mr. Chilcott’s appearance will have great appeal. Also, substantial
outreach is being made to the Austin and area Disciples congregations, the Micah 6
congregations, and the Austin and Round Rock schools, and an advertisement for the
performances has already appeared in the program for the recent Texas Choral Directors
Association convention in San Antonio, which was
attended by 2,500 people.
Tickets for the performances are now available by
calling or emailing the church office. They are free,
but will be required for admission. Childcare will be
provided for both performances.
We anticipate that On Christmas Night and Mr.
Chilcott’s presence here to conduct the premiere will
draw many visitors to the church. There also will be a
number of opportunities for members of the
congregation to meet him and to help as the event
draws closer.
The Christmas 2010 season will be a thrilling and
historic one for UCC. We will be welcoming one of the
most gifted and prolific choral composers of the day to
UCC to conduct a work he has written especially for
us, and we hope you will mark your calendars and be
present on December 12 for this very special musical
occasion!

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE COMMUNICATION COUNCIL

The mission of the Communication Council
states that it seeks to effectively make UCC’s
faith, activities, and opportunities known to
members, visitors and the Austin community
through art, media and internet resources.
Beth Long has chaired this council for several
years and is retiring from the Chairship this
year. Craig Bell, Trenna Pickett, Ron
Anderson and Anne Beckner also serve on
the Council. Our pastor Chuck has contributed
his talents and all the members have learned a
great deal about the internet, constructing
websites and reaching the public through
marketing and multi-media.
Upgrading the website, seeking new publicity
venues for UCC and keeping church members
informed of current happenings are ongoing
tasks. Trenna and Chuck designed the “We
Chose UCC” booklet that is in the pews hoping
to give visitors a glimpse of our church family.
Beth set in motion the art pieces that grace the
Narthex and was instrumental in raising the
money for them. Craig is the press release
expert and arranged for the welcoming
banners for students. Ron was the brains
behind the electronic picture frame in the west
side window and keeps the group advised on
Facebook and the internet in general. Anne
serves as secretary and recently upgraded
signage throughout the building. These are
only a few of the group’s projects.
When events like the Gospel According to U2
occur, special efforts are made to reach the
university students. The upcoming Forum in
October entitled Confronting Incivility, should
attract people who enjoy Bob Lively. The
Chilcott concert in December will evoke
interest in the music community and attempts
will be made to arrange an interview on KUT.
These are the types of events that the Council
seeks to make successful with press releases,
newspaper announcements, Facebook, the
UCC website, The Caller and the Happenings.
This very active Council gets a lot done, has a
lot of fun brainstorming and is ready to help
with publicity as needed. If you would like to
work with this Council and guide it as Chair,
please be in touch with Board President Roy
Snodgrass. The council members all are re-
committing to another term so the Chair mainly
just has to preside at the meetings, send out
the Agenda and attend Program Cabinet
meetings to report the Council activities.
Consider this position!

RUTH WHITE ECKOLS

Ruth White Eckols died July 23rd at the age of 91. She was born in Atwood Kansas to
Rev. Reuben A. White and Nelle Maxon. She grew up in Dilley (TX) and Laredo (TX)
and graduated from TCU. She also earned a degree in library science from Louisiana State
University and worked as an elementary school librarian for 19 years, at St. Elmo and
Pease elementary schools in Austin.
Ruth and Hugh Eckols met at Y camp and were married seven years later, in 1946, after
Hugh returned from the war. Soon after, the couple moved to Austin and became
members of UCC in its first years. They helped put together our nursery – and provided some of our first young
members, daughter Nancy and son Robert! Over the years, the two were active members of the church, serving
in many leadership roles; culminating with both becoming Life Elders. Ruth loved her family, loved a good
story, loved sharing in the life of this church, and loved the life-long friendships she formed. She is survived by
daughter, Nancy Bessent, son and daughter-in-law, Robert Eckols and Margarita Quihuis, and grandson,
Benjamin Eckols. A memorial service was held on July 30th, followed by burial at Williams Creek Cemetery in
La Grange.

CONGREGATIONAL NEWS
From the Eckols family:
We want to extend our thanks to the many members of University Christian Church who
offered us their sympathy and their help during the days surrounding Ruth’s death.
Thanks to those who set up the reception following the ceremony and provided the
refreshments. Thanks also for the sack lunches provided for the trip out to the cemetery.
The members of this church have long been a source of support for the Eckols family,
especially during Ruth’s lengthy struggle with her illness, and we are grateful for your
presence and your prayers.
Sincerely, Nancy Eckols Bessent, Robert Eckols, Margarita Quihuis, and Benjamin Eckols

Welcome to Judy and David Kellog. They joined UCC on August 15. David
has been active in the Disciples of Christ church for many years, and Judy is a
lifelong (fourth generation) member of our denomination. They come to us from
the Arlington (TX) area and are returning to Austin, where they met – just
across the street from UCC – fifty-two years ago.
Welcome New Choir Members: Laura Martin, Eric Johnson and Juan Zavala. They are all music
majors at UT.
Congratulations to the Clinger family on the birth of Reece Anderson Clinger on
August 18 to Janet and Justin Clinger (and sister Avery). She is the sixth great
grandchild of Charles and Mary Lynn Clinger.
Potpourri will have its first meeting of the fall on Monday, Sept. 13th, at 6:00, at the home of Judy
Mauldin -2603 Water Well Lane. Please bring a salad to the covered dish dinner. We will be
planning our meetings for the year and selecting a new "leader".
Patrick Scott has been invited to participate in the UCC (Ft. Worth) prestigious Bell Tower Series.
He will be performing an organ concert at UCC (Ft. Worth) on October 8 at 7:30. Congratulations
to Patrick on this honor!

CHARLES W. PETYON
Charles W. Peyton passed away on July 24th at the age of 94. Charles was a lifelong
member of the Christian Church (DoC) and charter member of Alamo Heights Christian
Church in San Antonio. He was also treasurer of Disciples for the Mentally Ill (DOMI) for
six years. He and his wife Elizabeth (Libb) joined UCC in 1983. Charlie served in
several positions at UCC, including as a greeter for almost a decade, and was made a Life
Elder in 1992. His easy smile and laugh, his warm and friendly sense of humor, and his
keen interest in fellow church members made Charles a wonderful ambassador for the
church. Even in recent years when Charlie was not able to attend church regularly, he took
pleasure in keeping up with church member news.
Charlie worked in Chief Management Engineering for the Fourth U.S. Army for twenty years and was awarded
the Army’s second highest decoration, the Meritorious Civilian Service award. Charlie is survived by his
daughter and son-in-law Charlene and Jay Mckinnon, son and daughter-in-law Tom and Patty Peyton, a
niece and nephews, eight grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and six great great grandchildren, as well as his
caregivers Candy and Darlene, and his dogs Popeye and Dozier. Charlie’s wish was to be remembered by the
way he lived his relationships with those who knew him. A memorial service will be held on September 18 at
UCC.

Class beginning in February.
Children's Adventure Time (CAT) for Grades K through 5

DSF – CALLING ALL COOKS!

The University Council is seeking cooks to provide meals for the DSFers this fall. DSFers meet
on Wednesdays. The meal starts at 6:30 p.m. followed by fellowship and
study. If you are interested in serving the students, please contact Amy King

OUTREACH
FOWLER ON THE FAIRWAYS
Join other friends of Juliette Fowler Homes
on Thursday, October 28, for a day full of fun
and fellowship with a little golf thrown in to
raise the funds needed to remodel the memory
care wing in the Pearl Nordan Care Center
(PNCC). Pearl Nordan Care Center was built in
Dallas in 1989 with little upgrades throughout
the years. Because of the frail condition of the
residents in the memory care wing and the
staff's desire to disrupt the daily routines of
residents as little as possible, this is the last
part of the building to be remodeled.
You may support the renovations to the
memory care wing as a player and/or a
sponsor. Individual entry of $150 includes entry
fee, 1/2 cart, tee favors, range, and lunch;
individuals will be assigned to a team. If you
wish, you may build your own team. The entry
fee for a team is $500. Prizes include first and
second place, low gross, longest drive and
closest to hole. Registration begins at 10:00
a.m. with lunch following at 11:00 a.m. and a
shotgun start at noon. The tournament will be
played at Buffalo Creek Golf Club in Rockwall,
Texas.
Sponsor opportunities from $250-$1500 are
available. For additional information, contact
Jo Dawn Noble, Mary Haley or Karen Brown
at 214-515-1340 or email Karen at
karenb@fowlerhomes.org. You may register
Online at www.fowlerhomes.org. Your support
for this much needed work as a sponsor or a
player will be deeply appreciated!

DONATE CLOTHES
Are you finding that some of those “back to school” clothes just won’t work this year? Please remember
that the Fig Leaf at University United Methodist Church would love to have your used clothing items.
The Forum Book Study Group will take your donations to the Fig Leaf for you if you leave your donations
in the library.

ST. AUSTINS AND MICAH 6 FOOD COLLECTION

The Outreach Council would like to remind
everyone that we have two food collections on
Sunday mornings. The food which is brought
forward by the children during worship is taken
to St. Austins Catholic Church where meals are
prepared every Thursday for the Street Youth.
Since food is cooked in large quantities, rice,
beans, pasta, tomato products, as well as
canned fruit and vegetables are useful.
Delicious desserts are prepared, so cake
mixes, pie filling, pudding mixes, flour and
sugar are also needed.
The Micah 6 Food Pantry is always in need of
food contributions. These items may be placed
in the Micah 6 cabinet or beside the Micah 6
plastic bag container on the ground floor back
hallway outside Fellowship Hall. Since many of
the Micah 6 clients are without kitchens, pop-
top cans and small portion items that can be
carried in a backpack are especially useful.
Those who have kitchens can use just about
anything - canned meat, vegetables, soups,
fruits, pasta, rice, beans, cereal, etc.
