Annual Congregational Meeting
January 21, 10 am

Our annual Congregational Meeting to vote on the budget for 2012 will be held between services in the Sanctuary. Copies of the proposed budget will be mailed this week to all members. Absentee voting forms and copies of the proposed budget will be included in the mailing for those unable to attend.
Please try to attend this important meeting. There will be an opportunity to learn how the budget was made and for each person to ask relevant questions. Each committee chair will also be making a presentation to share what their committee is responsible for and what the goals are for 2012.

:: a special message

We understand that some in California don't believe that God's love is big enough to welcome gays and lesbians. But we believe it is. We believe that God does love everyone, and that's why we welcome everyone, regardless of ethnic or racial heritage, gender, ability, sexual orientation, or economic or political status.

We had hoped Proposition 8 would have been defeated and we applaud its now having been overturned by a federal court. We hope that California will continue to support the marriages of committed people in loving relationships.

But regardless of the legal status of Proposition 8 as it winds its way through the legal system, we will continue to perform gay and lesbian weddings in our sanctuary because we believe that all marriages are sacred in the eyes of God.
