I can’t imagine a better time to be part of the UU Fellowship of Corvallis. It is a time of immense change, which means it is also a time of great potential and possibility. It is a generational shift in the midst of a political shift in the context of changes on the earth – and more! I often think of a song we sing on Sundays: “What we need is here.” It reminds me that between us we have the courage, experience, skills, curiosity, expertise, creativity and faith we need to nurture and sustain this religious community into new ways of being– as did those who came before us.
This month there are opportunities for everyone to join into conversations about these changes, with and for each other. Five events are planned as part of the annual Stewardship pledge drive – you can find the schedule and registration link in these weekly announcements. I imagine a big, beautiful, wide and deep conversation – with several hundred people taking part! (There are more than several hundred of us, you know.) Will you enter in? Will you be part of the wealth of resources we share? Will you offer your time and perspectives, and your presence? Here is the only thing you need to know in order to take part: You are needed and you are invited.
