Gather the spirit, harvest the power. Our sep'rate fires will kindle one flame. Witness the mystery of this hour. Our trials in this light appear all the same. -J. Scott


This is the mission of our faith: To teach the fragile art of hospitality; To revere both the critical mind and the generous heart; To prove that diversity need not mean divisiveness; And to witness to all that we must hold the whole world in our hands. - W.F. Shultz


These are the days that have been given to us; Let us rejoice and be glad in them. These are the days of our lives; Let us live them well in love and service. -W.R. Murray









We are Unitarian Universalists, people of open minds, loving hearts, and welcoming hands. - UU Children's affirmation


Faith is love taking the form of aspiration. - W.E. Channing

Informational Sessions about Policy-Type Governance

During the FY2012 church year, the Executive Committee (EC) offered the congregation two informational sessions about its pilot of policy-type governance - one in the fall and one in the spring.  Attached below are notes from both sessions plus two hand-outs used for the session on April 22, 2012.  In addition, the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document was made available (see separate article in this blog).
