THIS WEEK'S AFFIRMATION

THIS WEEK'S SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

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



  • To practice INTEGRITY, I have to be honest with myself and everyone else.


  • "I am practicing INTEGRITY by making a special effort to be who I am where ever I am so the person you know here, my family knows, my neighbors know, anyone who knows me knows ME."


  • I am practicing INTEGRITY by saying less and living what I want to say instead of just saying it.


  • To be in INTEGRITY is to be integral... to be self inclusive.


  • I am practicing INTEGRITY by being aware of when I'm being real with myself and when I'm not.


  • INTEGRITY for me is living my values regardless of whether it's comfortable, easy or a challenge and finding ways to express it without antagonizing.

ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

2025 ANNUAL PLEDGE PROGRAM

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
