Where Does Your Light Shine?
As we start a new decade, and inch our way toward our new church home in El Sobrante, I am so grateful for each member of this congregation, its friends, and our new partners and supporters for the unique way that everyone has nourished The Good Table.
Some of you have been swinging sledgehammers or sheet mulching at the new property. Others have been slogging through legal documents, bank statements, and building codes. But best of all, we now have a squad of first rate cheerleaders, urging us forward through the complexity of creating a whole new way of creating community and being church.
At our Semi-Annual (and perhaps final) meeting of Mira Vista UCC on Sunday, January 19th, after many months of conversation, we will formally vote whether or not to change the name of the church to The Good Table United Church of Christ.
Then on Saturday, April 18th, we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of this congregation ready to mark a brand new chapter in our history. So whether you have been spreading light by being a mirror, a candle, or by burning the candle at both ends, it is undeniable that we are collectively becoming a brand new kind of beacon of love. Happy New Year!
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ”
