"Untethered Thoughts"
Untethered can mean released, or unbound ... in any given week, any of us can be somewhat scattered or distracted or happily floating.
Imagine you are sitting around a bonfire on the beach with friends. Someone asks, “when thinking about a person you admire or inspires you, who comes to your mind ... and why is that so?”
Would you be willing to share two reflections? 1) In one or two words, your individual’s standout qualities and 2) their accomplishments in six words at either the personal, organizational, or community level.
Your reflections are about people who are anchors or trustees. I invite your comments by next Tuesday, which will be confidential and not attributed to you.
Thanks for reading Untethered Thoughts. Next week, I plan on writing about anchoring and trusteeship.

We welcome your thoughts on the message from Sunday worship or any inspiration you may have.
Our hope is that the newsletter will become more than a calendar of events, and will instead act as a space to share and learn.
Please email the church office with your responses.

New Four-Part Series
Starting January 14, at 10:00 am

"Racism: America's original sin; how the past has led to the present" will be held Thursday, January 14th at 10:00 am.
Rev. Canon Alonzo C. Pruitt will lead this important, and timely four-part series. Each of the conversations will include information and reflections about the ideas, language, and practices which have served to create and sustain division in our society, consistently resulting in members of minority groups being afforded unequal and broadly oppressive treatment.
Please follow this link if you are interested in joining the discussion on Zoom.

Our giving is important, especially now.
Although we aren’t gathering in the sanctuary for worship, our church bills are still the same. We’ve had questions from our Sunday worshippers and now our Zoom worshippers about how to give. Your continued gifts really matter, especially in this time of uncertainty.
