(2026 wheel of the year dates to be filled in, see bottom)
Saturday Service – TED
I much appreciate Zoe helping with Saturday. I’ve been working with Sonic on his service that he wants to lead. Time invested is helping him figure himself out, I think.
Saturdays alternating Open Topic with a subject homily works well. European participants, a few regulars. Good discussions and company, worth doing. Possible co-leader?
Consideration: Moving time? No – consistency works better
Boilerplate by TED, then Homily by another may work
Future discussion: Rotation for Saturday service.
Continuing business
- FUUCSL futures document. Please add to the discussion.
- Sermon Library starting, a few years available just outside the Library, kind of hidden for now (look just to the west of the building, along a small hill).
New Business
- Next month: Sanctuary re-design (shape of space, seating options, circle seating, firepit, pushbutton options, temp rezzers – switcheroo e.g. to pagan circle, Saturday smaller space?)
Next meeting: September 25 at Zyzzy’s Beach, Zyzzy’s Plateau of Seasonal Fun
The meeting was adjourned at 6:00pm SLT.
