Who’s in Charge of Change?
Rev. Hannah Roberts Villnave
In her book, Emergent Strategy, adrienne maree brown explores how movements for change can embrace and reflect the interdependent, non-linear, and transformational dimensions of the human experience. We’ll wonder together about how our congregation and community can embody this wisdom in our own work for change.

CHURCH NOTICE:
We have posted signs up around the church a number of times but again we must stress the importance of NOT bringing any peanuts or foods with peanuts in them into the building at all. We have a member of our congregation that has a deathly allergy to peanuts and anything with peanuts in them. When this member discovers there are peanuts in the building, they have to leave immediately. This means that they miss out on our various activities or meetings that they need to be at. The allergy is critical and we DO NOT want to alienate this member or any others who have this allergy. PLEASE, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! that we cannot allow peanuts into the building. (If you are bringing in a packaged item, please try to check that it wasn’t manufactured in a facility that processes anything with peanuts.)
