Middle School and High School Youth Announcements
“Red Tails” Movie Night for All Youth: On Saturday, January 28, 5:30-10pm, both Middle School and High School youth will see “Red Tails”, a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. Our beloved Art Saunders was an honored member of the Tuskegee Airmen. Seeing this movie is an opportunity to honor him and others who served the country in this way. Because the movie is rated PG-13 (for some sequences of war violence), any youth under the age of 13 must bring a signed permission slip in order to attend (see Pastor Sharon for permission slips). Those who are uncomfortable with the movie rating have the option to remain at the Garners’ to view a different movie. Youth can be dropped off at the Garners’ at 5:30 for pizza before we leave to view the movie at Crocker Park Cinema. After the movie there will be an opportunity for discussion before the youth are picked up from the Garners’ at 10pm. Tickets are $10.50 per person. Please RSVP to Pastor Sharon or Dawn McElrath so that we can better plan for pizza and transportation.
Confirmation Update: If you are in 8th or 9th grade and are interested in being confirmed this May, please contact Pastor Sharon ASAP.
Middle School Youth Retreat: All 6th-8th Graders are encouraged to attend the winter retreat at Camp Aldersgate, February 24-26. Details are available from Pastor Sharon. Permission slip deadline is February 5.

God is good, not vengeful: Messages of Faith | cleveland.com
The often glibly spoken thought is that “we all worship the same God.” This is just not true. The God who would willingly send pain, suffering and death on his/her children as a test of our loyalty, a punishment for a lack of obedience, or some twisted notion to teach us a lesson or to stick with a divine plan for us is just the product of unfortunate human thinking. It is, among other things, an effort to secure power and authority for institutional religious systems.

Arthur Saunders was an original Tuskegee Airman and a leading architect: news obituary | cleveland.com
At age 90, Saunders still walked a few blocks daily along Superior Ave. from his apartment to his office. He died Tuesday, Dec. 27, at the Stokes VA Medical Center, at 91.
In 2007, he told The Plain Dealer about his military career and could have been talking about his civilian one, too: “The hardest part was overcoming the prejudice. There was a great effort to make it difficult for us by creating unnecessary problems, with the intent of making us fail.”
The slim six-footer said he was the first African-American architect with the state of Ohio as a client. He also designed the first home for an African-American family in Shaker Heights, starting the suburb toward national leadership in voluntary integration. He created more than 20 Cleveland churches, including Mt. Pleasant Church of Christ, and many multi-unit complexes, including Rockefeller Park Towers and the Eliza Bryant Home.
Memorial service: 11 a.m. Feb. 4 at University Circle United Methodist Church, 1919 E. 107th St., Cleveland.

America’s Prettiest Neighborhoods - University Circle - Forbes Magazine
University Circle, Cleveland, Ohio
With a symphony orchestra, an art museum, a natural history museum and planetarium, and a botanical garden, Cleveland’s University Circle offers a wide and exciting array of ways to pass the time, enjoy some high-end food, or consume world-class culture, all within a walkable area of town that features three notable colleges. “People from the neighborhood kick off summer with Parade the Circle, a cool mishmash of people wearing artfully made costumes and paper-mache masks,” says Williams. “It is beautiful any time of year, but I was there last October, and the fall color was astounding.”
We couldn’t agree more and UCUMC is happy to be a part of it.

Happy Dog gets a bit bigger; local funny Tweets: Michael K. McIntyre’s Tipoff | cleveland.com
It’s a sign: The University Circle United Methodist Church isn’t delivering its message only from the pulpit these days. A new, state-of-the-art LED sign greets the many motorists who pass by the church daily.
The new sign was nearly two years in the making with various city permits needed for its design and placement.
“It’s in such a marvelous location. We have 60,000 people go through there every day,” said the pastor, the Rev. Ken Chalker.
It replaces two older-style signs, the kind for which letters were hand-placed to convey messages. Before those signs were removed, they carried this message: “Sign for sale: Inquire within.”
No, the church wasn’t selling “signs” from heaven. The actual signs are for sale. They’re in storage. Asking price: $3,750 for one, $6,995 for both.

Cleveland Ignites Job Growth With Rebuilding Project - NYTimes.com
In effect, the Uptown area will be what amounts to a new downtown for the University Circle neighborhood on the east side of the city. Within the square mile of University Circle, and within easy walking distance of Uptown, are Case Western Reserve, the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Cleveland Institute of Music, University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History.
Spread across a campuslike expanse of green space, these institutions form a distinct economic microclimate that has fostered the highest growth in job numbers, income and residents in a city that lost 17 percent of its population from 2000 to 2010.
“There are 5,000 more jobs here than in 2005,” said Chris Ronayne, an urban planner who is president of University Circle Inc., a nonprofit community service organization that has helped manage the area’s development. “About 50,000 people work here. The number of residents grew 11 percent since 2000. And there are 10,000 people who live here now.”
