Creating a beloved community through lifelong service and spiritual exploration.
The next part of our process is to review and revise our vision statement. Once we do this, we will revisit the mission statement incorporating what we learned from your comments and the visioning exercise.
You are invited to join us as Rev. Tracy leads us through a process to articulate our vision. Light refreshments will be available. A Zoom link will also be available. Please sign up here.
We aim to share the new vision and mission statements at our annual meeting in June and vote on them at the midyear meeting in November.
