August 2025 Board Bits

The Board affirmed five new members: Daniel Kynaston, Barbara Labitska, Linsey Smith, Liz Sondhaus, and Wendy Tyree. Welcome!!! We are so happy that you are joining us!!!


 This month’s thoughtful question came from Ann Lemon: How do you reconnect with yourself after a loss? All Board members contributed to the discussion. 


The Board extended the work done at its August retreat by settling on the 2025-26 Three Open Questions below: 


1.  How shall we center love in our care of one another?


2.  With whom in the broader community shall we grow in loving relationships?


3.  What resources shall we commit to center and expand love?


Bob Becker, Matthew Hull, and Steve Jarrett will lead a committee to coordinate congregational conversations around these questions.
