During our Grand Opening worship service on April 3, we spent some time meditating about what we hope to see in the coming year as the coronavirus lifts and we have an opportunity to set new intentions for our personal lives, our Fellowship, and the larger community.  Several folks shared their visions during worship.  But I also asked folks to distill their hope down to a single word and write it on a card:  one intention-setting word for the year.  The list forms a wonderful poem of our shared values.

Hold on to these dreams.  May they guide and create your year.  We will come back to them again in several ways in the coming months
