This Sunday we have a spaghetti dinner after worship—Thank you, members of the Hospitality Spirit Team. WAM and the Ministerial Search Team are also meeting—and we say thank you for all your work and your care for our common life together.
Our Mission Statement says that we are a progressive faith community practicing unconditional love and seeking justice in an interfaith world so that all people may experience abundant life. We have four Focus Areas for implementing our mission: 1) Offer theological and spiritual activities/opportunities consistent with our mission; 2) Develop/identity pathways to leadership that match individual interests/gifts with congregational/community needs; 3) Enhance congregational relationships by providing a variety of opportunities for sharing life together; 4) Develop/strengthen community partnerships which provide opportunities for justice, peace and the integrity of creation.
I invite you between now and Sunday to take 15 or 20 minutes and write down the first thoughts that come to you as you think about one of these 4 focus areas and bring your ideas to dinner.
Peace, David
