Minister's Musing

Reverend Chip Wright June, 2010
This will be my last note for the newsletter for this church
year. It seems like it was only a few
weeks ago that I arrived but it has been 11 months! We have only a couple Sundays left, then I
will head off with my partner Rev. Lisa to represent our congregation at the
UUA's General Assembly in Minneapolis. After that and our UUCM BBQ on July 3rd
at our Petaluma home, I will take study, reflection and rejuvenation time
before returning back to the pulpit to start our second year together at our
opening Sunday service on September 12th. It has been a good year full and positive in so many ways it
is hard to list them all. But each and
all add up to being an auspicious beginning of a long and exciting journey
together here at the UUCM. We have
created a strong foundation. I look
forward to our ongoing life together here and all the promise it will bring.
There is so much to do, so much to know, so much to care about. When we do it together we can make a world
that sings and a home for all who travel the paths to justice and love together
in care and support! Have a wonderful summer and I will see you all in the
September!

Remarkable People
|
| This month's Remarkable People will be the last
hurrah for Carole Rosvold and Carolyn Bopp (who are retiring). Carolyn will
be new on the Board of Directors and Carole will be on the Committee on
Ministry. For the June 11th meeting (second Friday of the Month) we'll
have Bill Pryor and Doug Kerr. They are long time UU's and have very
interesting life stories. We'll have something to sip and snack during the
break. It starts at 7:30 pm and ends at 9:00 pm. Please be on time
because we have been running over time the past few months. Marge
Hollinger will be hosting next year with another (at this time) mystery
host. We have enjoyed spending second Fridays with you, and have
learned a lot about our membership. We are a talented
group!

Sunday Service Time Survey
|
| As many of you know, the Committee on Ministry
and the Board is
conducting a survey about when we hold church services. So far,
more
than 90 people have filled out the survey. This is just a first step in
what we
anticipate will be a year-long discussion about what is best for the
long-term
health of our congregation. Because this is such an important
conversation, we'd
like to get an even higher response rate. If you haven't done it yet,
please do so before the June 13 deadline. If you know someone who needs a
reminder
or help, please encourage them to fill it out or email Jennifer Gennari
for
assistance.
