The church is getting ready to select a topic for the next
two- year congregation-wide social action initiative.
As you know, in 2011-2013, the church took on an initiative
to address the problem of Hunger in our Community. A huge percentage of the
congregation became involved in various facets of the project. Energizing the
congregation to work together on a particular social action theme turned out to
be extremely powerful and gratifying, and a great deal of good work was done.
Since the first initiative was such a big success, we are
excited about embarking on the next project. We have received proposals for
initiatives on four different topics. On the home page of the church web site, under the bottom center section titled Quick Links, you will find a PDF containing descriptions of each proposal. Please read them and think about which theme you would like to
choose.
There will be a primary vote on Sunday, April 13th to select the top two proposals. At
the congregational meeting on Sunday, May
4th, the final vote for the next two-year initiative will be
taken. All of the topics are worthy of our hard work and dedication, and it
will be difficult to choose just one. Of course, regardless of the outcome,
none of us will abandon our favorite charities with which we are deeply
involved. Participating in the church initiative is an opportunity to learn
more about our community’s needs and how we may be of further service.
