“Strategic imagination”- Bruce Harlan
When we challenge deep-rooted assumptions and reject the tendency to assess new innovations and opportunities by current systems and standards, we unleash the transformative power of our collective imaginations.

FROM REV. ALEX
FIVE WISHES
Members of the congregation have alerted me to “The Five Wishes” program. It presents a carefully laid out program of planning for final wishes before we die. What’s important? What are our wishes for medical providers? “Do not resuscitate” decisions? What do we want our family to know in advance? Please look at the link below for important information.

If you have any questions or would like help with preparing your five wishes, please let me know and I’ll help out
INSPIRATION OF THE WEEK
– Desmond Tutu
SHARE-THE-PLATE
Every month we share our offerings with a community group whose mission is consonant with ours. This month we have selected the Meadville Soup Kitchen. The soup kitchen was founded in 1982 when the former Avtex and Talon industrial plants began shutting down operations. As jobs disappeared, the United Way of Western Crawford County and the Meadville Ministerium decided the soup kitchen was needed.
UU FRIENDS
Hope everyone is taking good care of themselves and their loved ones. During this difficult time of confinement and social distancing, we need to busy ourselves with productive activities… Just a reminder that our “Yard Sales” project remains in effect on an ongoing basis…Now is the perfect time to clean out those closets or tackle the attic. You’re bound to have some treasures to sell! Remember all you have to do is snap a picture and text it along with a description about the item to Michele (814) 332–0999 or to Peggy (724) 256-2268 and we will take care of it from there. Posting on Facebook is one of the easiest and fastest ways to make money…
And remember our Ooh La La consignment boutique account is up and running. The store has reopened and appointments are required to dropping off items for consignment. There is also a “25 item per person per day“ limit. As a reminder, items need to be in very good condition, free of “issues” (no snags, stains, fading) and in current style and on hangers with no wrinkles.…As always thanks for helping out. Since we created this account, we’ve made over $1000!
Love and Light to All…
Michele Baker
