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

• "just putting kindness out there"
• "when I went to pay for my breakfast someone had already paid for my meal"
• "experienced being treated kindly by medical staff in the ER and Xray departments"
• "practicing forgiveness as an act of kindness"
• "practicing kindness in communication"

Rev. Rafe shared noticing that people seem genuinely surprised by random acts of KINDNESS and challenged us to surprise people this week randomly practicing KINDNESS.

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

Quote of the Week

“Just as you would not neglect seeds that you planted with hope,

that they will bear vegetables and fruits and flowers, so you must attend

to nourish the garden of your becoming.”
