Sunday morning, Dr. Sharon Buzzard again visited our Fellowship and brought us a message about "character." Many of us know the danger of confusing material success with personal virtue. However, the individuality and self-determination we prize also complicates ideals of "character" that were formed in community and reputation. As we strike a new balance between self and society, what does character mean to us, and what kind of character do we want to carry forward?
As a Fellowship, too, we are asking what kind of character we want to have to take us into the future. This Saturday, November 14th from 9 am to 4 pm, UUFJC will be holding a Vision-Crafting session. No matter how long or short a time you’ve been with us, your viewpoint is important as we map our way forward. Lunch is provided; make sure you've signed the signup sheet or RSVP'ed to Katherine Connor so she can get a count of how many meals are needed (vegetarian option available). To help you prepare, you'll find materials on the back table in the Sanctuary, or you can see the October and November Newsletters or contact Rev. Nancy TannerThies.
We hope to see you and hear from you then!
