Yikes!! Except, not yikes, because we have a plan. Now let’s figure out the details.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1. Rebecca has agreed to be the worship leader—which means she has to plan the order of service, pick hymns and readings, etc. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. The reflection will be “What Can One Person Do?” featuring an ensemble of volunteers explaining what they do to lessen their environmental footprint. At our March meeting, these people volunteered:</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>a. George, on planning and promoting the Devola pollinator planting project</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>b. Vic on… something</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>c. Adeline, on her and Mike’s residential solar installation</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>d. Jonathan on…. something</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>e. Jim and Debra on ….. something. (Wait, what? Really? But they weren’t home yet, and they weren’t on Zoom. Did they really volunteer?)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class=""><u class="">Can you folks please reply-all with your topic, </u></b>so that, say, both Jonathan and Vic don’t end up talking about electric vehicles! (Although one of them talking on that topic would be great!) And once we know the topics, we (meaning Rebecca or I, I suppose) will put them in order of presentation, OK?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I can serve as a backup, but if the five people above each talk or present for 4 minutes, we’ll have a 20-minute reflection. Four minutes doesn’t sound like much time, and it isn’t. But Americans today, even UUs, have short attention spans! And 20 minutes is about as long as our congregation can sit still before they get antsy.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3. Rebecca may have a reading opportunity for anyone else who wants to participate, such as for the chalice lighting, the closing words, or just a reading…. Any takers? It would be great to have MANY GSC members involved. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">4. Adeline has proposed this video book for the Time for All Ages, which I think would be <u class="">swell: </u><a href="https://youtu.be/lbUS3jPjyrc?si=05cxl8Mk1E863xE-" class="">https://youtu.be/lbUS3jPjyrc?si=05cxl8Mk1E863xE-</a> It covers a lot of good stuff, for kids and adults, in an enjoyable Dr. Seuss-like tale.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">5. So, anything else? For the record, I am QUITE CONTENT to sit this one out. I am up in front so often. Too often. I’d be tired of seeing me if I were in the congregation. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you!!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—dawn</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
