Second Congregational Talking Stick this Sunday between services!
Dear SCUU,
The second of our four congregational conversations will be held this Sunday, November 13th at around 10:30 am in the Yurt. Please come and share your thoughts, opinions and questions about whether SCUU should stay at two services per Sunday or move to a one-service Sunday. The vote is coming on December 11th!
This Sunday's meeting will again be a "talking stick" format, where we'll take turns holding the talking stick and having time to speak our minds without interruption. This format worked really well at our first meeting last Sunday, where many different viewpoints were heard. We may switch the format to a more narrow focus for the third or fourth meeting.
Please feel free to come to as many meetings as you can. Your voice helps others consider the choice they'll make, and hearing the perspectives of other congregants can help you come to a more informed vote yourself. Plus, it's fun to sit with your community and hear their hopes and dreams for SCUU's future.
Here are some other sources of information for you as you make your decision:
Arlin has put together a group of historical and informational documents that you can access from this link: http://scuu.org/site/content/scuus-2-services-issue-collectors-edition.
They're also on the member's only section of the SCUU website.
There is also a virtual conversation on this topic moderated by Adam Styles on the WOW blog on the website. You can access that at
Editor's note: This is the link to the forum!!...
