Although invariably Features cold, it is always fun and a good opportunity for kids and Owl 7 adults to hang out. One evolution of this activity is the World Café 7 fire pit smorgasbord. What LDC Workshop 8 started as a cup of hot chocolate at the fire near the SCRIP 9 otters has morphed into: hot chocolate with Frangelico, creative S’mores of all kinds, lentil and potato soups, chili, and more. Often innocent by walkers are welcomed and fortified. This year there was a twist as twelve hearty post Safari folks braved the 10 degree cold and startled Sue Neufeld's New Years Eve guests with a rousing rendition of Jingle Bells, then slipped not so quietly into the night.

February Services - Perseverance February 4: “Touching Stones, Casting Light”, Imbolc Ceremony with guest speaker Wanda Daniel. As we walk through the darkness of our winter and our world, our feet touch Earth and feel the wisdom found there. We carry this wisdom within us as we belong to Earth. Rooting into our spaces here and now, we reach and touch each other with wisdom that casts light into world. We grow strong with each other. With each touch we know winter shall end and spring come. NOTE: Rev. Wanda & Dianne are weaving an Imbolc/Candlemas service as part of our monthly theme, Perseverance. Please bring a small stone you are willing to place in a community bowl. February 11: "Mardi Gras" with Dianne McRae. Mardi Gras, the blow out celebration proceeding Lent, has a quality of "the world turned upside-down". Come celebrate and consider with us the up, the down and the "I am directionally challenged". If you have them, wear your Mardi Gras finest and beads! February 18: "Getting Right with the World" with Rev. Dana Lightsey. In January, we considered what it means to "get right with ourselves". This month, we are looking at getting right with the world. One doesn't just accomplish these things as a one-time task. Getting right with ourselves and with the world is life's greatest challenge which we face day after day. This fits well with our monthly theme of "perseverance". Ultimately, getting right with ourselves and the world brings us into harmony both within and without and gives our lives a great sense of purpose and meaning. These ultimate questions also apply to HPCUU as we re-engage with the church wide conversation of HPCUU's future. As individuals, we may ponder our greatest potential and destiny. The same is true for HPCUU. How does HPCUU fulfill its greatest destiny and potential and how does that inform our next steps into the future? This service will be followed by a World Cafe style meeting to discuss these (and other) questions about HPCUU. Please join us for this important day in the evolution of HPCUU. February 25: Music Sunday with Joe Uveges Minister’s Musings Page 3 Minister’s Musings by Rev Dana Lightsey ur monthly theme for February is “perseverance”. alone.
