The Workshop will be on Sunday November 26th from 12 noon to 1:30 pm.

A vital congregation is like a small village: nurturing and caring for the people within its walls, as well as to the communities that surround it.

Our Board has decided to focus on an Environmental action issue and a Social Justice issue so as to not spread ourselves too thin. Barb Kroon is the Board Member liaison with the Environmental Action Team, and Elain Duvall is the Board liaison with the Social Justice Team. Alison Nixon has offered to help the Social Action Team focus attention on the issues we as a church think are most important.

After church on Sunday November 26th, Alison will lead us in a short workshop to determine a Social Justice "Mission", for the congregation. She hopes that by the end of the workshop we will have determined a Social Justice Focus, and have some early ideas of ways we can support that focus.

In preparation for this important work, Alison asks that you consider various Social Justice Causes — AND hold them lightly. Be prepared to change your mind and embrace others' ideas as we all listen deeply to each other.

There will be sandwiches available after church that day, which you can bring up to the Sanctuary (along with tea and coffee) for the workshop .
