Dear Ones,

REMINDER: The first Community Office Hours will be TODAY, Thursday, Jan. 17th, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Common Ground. I’m looking forward to it!

Last Sunday our Social and Environmental Justice Committee showed up to service with signs to remind us all of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day parade on Monday, January 21st. There’s an article elsewhere in this newsletter with the details. I’m hoping to join the UUFB contingent this year.

Remember, too, that this month’s theme is about exploring possibility. The Small Group packet from Soul Matters offers several quotes on possibility for contemplation, and I’d like to share this one with you, from organization and management consultant Margaret Wheatley:

“There is no power greater than a community discovering what it cares about.
Ask: “What’s possible? not “What’s wrong?”
Keep asking.
Notice what you care about
Assume that others share your dreams…”

Looking forward to exploring all the possibilities of 2019 with you!

Blessings,
Rev. Lori Hlaban
