Dear UUFC Congregation:
Wow! One year ago this month I was reading all about your congregation, from afar. I examined statistics about your history, your membership, your RE program, and financial matters. I looked at how many ministers have served you, how the building was built, and milestones important in your congregational life. I tried to imagine being with you all in role of Interim Minister. How lucky I was then, to get to interview with the Interim Search committee, who were warm, friendly, organized, and clear. I then spent many, many more hours, researching Corvallis as a place to live.
This kind of imagining is powerful. Because you all set a vision, and I was open to a vision, our paths were able to meet and align.
Please ponder this kind of power. Please consider the kind of careful preparation that creates a solid, factual foundation, from which the winds of the universe can blow to attract positive energy.
Perhaps there is an area of your life right now where you would like to “get your house in order” and take stock of who you are.
With care and wonder,
Rev. Alex
