NEXT MONTHLY SERVICE
Saturday, MAY 25 @ 5:00pm
"Love and Reconciliation"
With all of the crises and conflicts that are happening right now in the world, how can we keep from feeling helpless? Is there a way to use our Unitarian Universalist Principles to effect change in ourselves and in the world? Please join Cara Elrod, the Worship Team and members of our community as we explore ways to act positively in troubled times. There will also be a special story presentation from Joy Silver: "Wangari Maathai and the Nobel Peace Prize"

Here are the electronic notes and the flip chart images from our most recent Community Dialogue on Money and Resources.
The discussion was very thoughtful and we arrived at the following overarching question:
" What do our bylaws, policies, procedures, budget processes and practices need to be to support a culture that explicitly values offers of support to the community and requests for support from the community equally and values all members of our community just as we are."
If you would like to offer your creativity and energy to this project, please contact catherine at catherinemarystrickland@gmail.comso we can launch the proposal group soon and potentially bring a proposal to the whole community at our June 8th meeting. This is a big project, so it is likely that our bylaws, policies, etc will evolve over several months.
