Here's a summary of how community members are practicing our Community Value of KINDNESS:



• by showing up and serving.

• by freely offering smiles and greeting to everyone I encounter.

• by offering my seat to someone else.

• by seeing the positive in situations and people.

• by being a good listener and being really present with people.

• by letting someone know you want to connect with them and then showing up to learn and experience who the are.

• by being clear in communication instead of being "nice" and not saying what's accurate.

• by being kind with ourselves first.

If you're unable to access the study guides in a way that works for you, send an email to info@columbiacsl.com requesting which weeks you want and they will be emailed to you as Word Doc and PDF attachments.

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
