 Sunday August 22nd - Circle Fellowship and its Mission - At last summer's retreat Larry Terry led a discussion on core values. In the end of this discussion we came to the conclusion that the UU Seven Principles did a pretty good job of representing our principles. We then continued with a related discussion of what the language should be at the beginning of the website. We came up with a conceptual statement that some of us then massaged to improve the language, hopefully without changing the meaning too much. I have pasted the statement from the retreat, the statement we initially put on the website, and the statement currently on the website (which de-emphasizes LGBT). below  

We will review the seven principles and these statements, plus some mission statements of other churches as the beginning of our discussion on Mission. Please note that we will NOT be discussion the Mission Statement, but the Mission. There are two reasons for this: we do not want to get hung up in language, but instead want to establish the concepts and ideas around our mission; and wordsmithing done by committee is both frustrating and ineffective.

Please, if you can find the time, go look at the mission statements of other UU churches and bring in mission statements that you like!

Sunday August 29th - Review of Spirituality, Right Relationship and Mission followed by Member Meeting at 1:00 pm
