Some opportunities from our Mission & Justice Board for this week.

The Mission and Justice Board will have a full accounting of how we used your pledge dollars in the Annual Report. However, we recently received thank you notes from the Chuckanut Health Foundation and Planned Parenthood and want you to know how our support is making a difference.

You are invited to Meet Me in the MIddle Wednesdays, from 12 noon-1 pm

Give us part or all of your lunch hour for a Zoom conversation that invites you to look at the Bible in a fresh way.

The 2023 All Church Read Selection has been made! The book will be Daniel Cooperrider, Speak with the Earth and It Will Teach You - A Field Guide to the Bible.

We plan to read it together in Adult Forum but will not begin for a couple of weeks to allow books to arrive at Village Books

We've gotten a special invitation from our neighbors at Beth Israel to attend a community education class. It seems that nearly every month there is another Jewish holiday, and each year they arrive at different times. What are some of these holy days and how are they relevant in today’s world? In this three session course, students will gain an understanding of both the major and minor holiday observances in the Jewish calendar.

There is still time to register for this year's in-person Men's Retreat. We'll meet at Pilgrim Firs the weekend of February 3-5, 2023. The topic is “Gratitude and Practices to Enhance Gratefulness”. In the spirit of a back-to-normal retreat, there will be music, singing, a wisdom circle and an optional silent retreat Thursday evening (February 2) to begin the weekend.
