Reflection....
February 1 is Saint Brigid's Day or Imbolc - the midway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox,
and for many it is the marker that Spring is returning.
May the life stirring underground
stir new dreams to life within you.
May the flames of inspiration and passion
be
reignited in your soul...

Your UU Board very recently learned that a part-time UU Minister may be available to serve our Congregation from March through July until an Interim Minister would arrive in August.
We wanted to take advantage of this unexpected development and had the opportunity to interview this candidate via Skype last Saturday. We're very optimistic. As things develop, we will keep you posted.

End Note...
This is what was bequeathed us:
This earth the beloved left And, leaving, Left to us.
No other world But this one: Willows and the river And the factory With its black smokestacks.
No other shore, only this bank On which the living gather.
No meaning but what we find here. No purpose but what we make.
That, and the beloved's clear instructions:
Turn me into song; sing me awake.
~ Gregory Orr ~
from "How Beautiful the Beloved"
