Closed Captioning
We have selected a service, but are not able to sign up over the weekend.
Treacy also discovered an app called Live Caption

Church meetings
Group leaders should schedule their own meetings using the Church account
Or use your own Zoom account it you like
For public meetings:  Send the “invitation” to calendar@uuclb.org and Teresa will add your meeting to the church calendar with a live link
For private meetings:  Send the info to calendar@uuclb.org without the link
It will take a few days to appear.
Teresa works Monday through Friday
Join me for a training at 1:30

Got some good tools for keeping our public meetings safe.

Connections survey – Will happen next week
The survey tool is ready to go
Recruit and train folks to make the calls

Please support the church financially, if you can.
We now have “text to give” on our Tithe.ly account

Times of crisis is also a time of opportunity

When things are broken
We have a chance to remake in a new way

During the AIDS crisis I learned that the Chinese character for Crisis
Is Danger and Opportunity
Probably Apocryphal

But not untrue

In the public sphere, this might mean
Rethinking our economy
Rethinking our health care system
Rethinking our response to climate change

I don’t know about that
Sometimes in our rush to “get back to normal”
we miss the opportunity to change

But we could be intentional about our personal lives

A lot is broken right now
How would you like to remake your life?

Change your home
Do you automatically turn to video and the internet
Books?
Music  – really listening
Conversation
Phone calls?
Have you been taking relationships for granted?
Intentional nurturing.
Feeling the absence of exercise?
Longing for the outdoors?
Longing for community?

Eventually the crisis will pass
The danger will pass
But we don’t have to let the opportunity pass so quickly
Don’t just “go back to normal”
Re-make your life to look more like the life you really want.

See you tomorrow at 10am on Zoom
See you here on Tuesday at 1pm
