Prelude: Bad Moon Rising (J. Fogerty)

Call to Worship: Let Me Die Laughing (M. Morrison-Reed)
We are all dying, our lives always moving toward completion.
We need to learn to live with death, and to understand that death is not the worst of all events.
We need to fear not death, but life—
      empty lives,
      loveless lives,
      lives that do not build upon the gifts that each of us has been given,
      lives that are like living deaths,
      lives which we never take the time to savor and appreciate,
      lives in which we never pause to breathe deeply.
What we need to fear is not death, but squandering the lives we have been miraculously given.
So let me die laughing, savoring one of life’s crazy moments. Let me die holding the hand of one I love, and recalling that I tried to love and was loved in return. Let me die remembering that life has been good, and that I did what I could. But today, just remind me that I am dying so that I can live, savor, and love with all my heart.

Help Spread The Word!!
As we continue to use social media as way to get the word out about who we are and what we’re all about at 1stUUPB, you can help us a lot in just a few clicks (if you have a Facebook account, that is).
*Find our Facebook page by searching for us by name, and make sure you have “Liked” the page.
*Whenever you see a post from us in your newsfeed, don’t just scroll past it. Please click on it and select a “Like” option. If you hover over the Like button with your cursor and wait a moment without clicking, a few other options show up. You can choose a thumbs up, a heart, a laugh, a “what in the world?!? face, a sad face or a mad face. Make a comment on the post.
*Share the post either on your own page or share it with someone you think might be interested in it.
*Give us a 5 star rating and tell what you enjoy about our congregation.
*If you have the Facebook app on your smart phone, anytime you are at 1stUUPB for a Sunday service or NewsTalk or Teaching Thursday or yoga or a movie or a meeting or whatever, please check in to let people know you are here.
Why are we asking you to do all this? Because it is an easy way to spread the word about who we are and the important work we do here. Plus, all this is FREE marketing! Who doesn’t like free?!?

*Hymn: Stand By Me (B.E. King)
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Susan Bickel
Susan Tiedemann Bickel was born and raised in North Palm Beach and in the First Unitarian Universalist Church here. As the daughter of Hal and Eunice Tiedemann, and the step daughter of George McLafferty, Susan spent a large portion of her childhood actively involved when the church relocated from West Palm Beach to North Palm Beach 30 years ago, and she watched it grow in membership and support in the community.
The UU Principle of acceptance of one another has shaped much of Susan's life and her beliefs, as has the UU call to action in helping our fellow humans. Susan has put those tenets into action as a teacher, an environmentalist, a member of the boards of two national conservation organizations, and currently as President Pro Tem of the Village of North Palm Beach Council.
Susan earned her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a Master's in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. She has worked in government under Congressman Tom Lewis, in finance, and has been a teacher for 24 years. Currently she is Science Coordinator and Science Department Chair at The Benjamin School.
Susan is the mother of a 12-year-old daughter who was dedicated at 1stUUPB in 2006.

Responsive Reading: The Gift of Patience
(Minister): When we are overwhelmed with the world and cannot see our way clear,

When life seems a struggle between frenzy and exhaustion
Grant us the gift of Patience
When today seems a punishment and tomorrow a torment,
Grant us the gift of Patience
When the line seems too long and the light too slow to change,
Grant us the gift of Patience
May we learn how to cope like those who live one day, one moment at a time through pain, suffering, and sorrow,
Grant us the gift of Patience
(All): Spirit of Life, grant us the patience to extend grace to ourselves and to others. Help us to take a deep breath, to count to 10, and to stop to smell the roses that help to make life beautiful and fragrant. Grant us the gift of Patience. Amen.
