A Cup of Joe - 7/1/14

7/2/2014

 
“Home is in the leaving”

Or, at least that's what the song I sang June 22 says. Even if it's true, the sentiment doesn't make leaving simpler. One of the things I need to do in order to be the best possible support for new leadership at this congregation and to establish my ministry with my new congregation is to bring my relationships with you to an end. In this age of social media, this includes "unfriending" UUFCM folks on Facebook. What an awful term! It does nothing to indicate that my concern and affection for you will continue even if our relationship must come to an end. However, sometime in the last weeks of July, I will stop showing up in your Facebook news feed and I'll be leaving the UUFCM Facebook group.

I'll be using some of my remaining vacation time for the last half of July. I'll be using that time to move and for Kristin and I to set up our home together in New York.  In the case of an emergency, you can still reach me by calling or texting me at my local phone number, (989) 941-6013 through the end of July.  

I know that good things are in store for you & UUFCM!  You are going into the next year with a much clearer sense of mission and of not just the possible challenges, but of your great strengths as a community fueled by love, transforming our lives and our world.

Blessings,
Joe
