This week Community members shared how they were experiencing the value of INCLUSION:

• "INCLUSION as a part of this community"
• "INCLUSION as taking care of myself and living by First Thing First... including myself"
• "INCLUSION as yes and(ing) life"
• "INCLUSION by including others in decision making that impacts them"
• "INCLUSION as recognizing the laws that empower inclusion of all people"
• INCLUSION as celebrating EVERYONE who has EVER birthed another human AND mothered another human being by choice rather than obligation, including men who have stood in the role as mother when the female mother was not available/present without minimizing anyone"

A few points of clarification.

• We ask everyone to renew their membership and giving pledge so:
• you have an opportunity to recommit, and
• we know you're choosing to continue as a member of the Columbia CSL Community.
• If you already have a recurring giving set up in Breeze and you're choosing to continue it into 2025, you only need to complete the 2025 Pledge Form.
• If you have ANY additional questions, please reach out to me directly.

Much love,

Rev. Rafe
