Sunday, May 5, 2024 10:00 AM - Speaker: Rev. Stacy Craig, "Indra's Net: Reflections on Interdependence" New Member Recognition and Annual Meeting
Event Details
“There is an endless net of threads throughout the universe
At every crossing of the threads there is an individual.
And every individual is a crystal bead.
And every crystal bead reflects
Not only the light from every other crystal in the net
But also every other reflection
Throughout the entire universe.”
—Words from Anne Adams, Indra’s Net of Jewels
Indra’s net is a Buddhist symbol of mutuality, a guiding concept on living interdependently. Take a moment and think about what you’ve used today. Who are you in community with? As we celebrate all who have joined CUUF over the past year, let us take time to wonder about our independence and interdependence.
The fellowship’s annual meeting will be held in-person directly following the worship service. The meeting is an opportunity to review the achievements and concerns of this year, elect new board members, set achievable priorities for next year and approve the 2024-2025 budget.
Achievements during the 2023-2024 service year offer much to celebrate! The continued growth of the Religious Education (RE) program is so evident each time we sing the children to their classes. The
UU Women’s group held its second annual retreat. The Soul Matters group continually experiences full enrollment. And there are many more rewarding and vibrant activities offered to, and by, the congregation.
The fellowship needs all of us to participate in the democratic process of governance. Our bylaws require 20% of the membership to be present for a quorum. In previous annual meetings, we have just barely that. Members will receive a packet of committee reports, board nominations, and the draft 2024-2025 budget. Everyone is encouraged to take the time to read the documents, leave comments, ask questions, and make suggestions. Feedback is welcome on our Facebook page, at annualmeeting2024@chequamegonuuf.org or email me directly: beth@chequamegonuuf.org
