"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it."  Numbers and data tell a different kind of story than narrative, but can be sources of unexpected wisdom.

Join in an all ages service embracing the air - air that we breathe, that whips around us in storms, that warms us on a sunny day.  We will play with bubbles, make a community craft project or two, share from our hearts, and sing songs that make our spirit soar.  What have the winds of change done in your life recently?  Readings and sermon by Chelsea Krafka, Religious Growth Director, co-led by Julie Enersen and Jack Forbes Wilson.  Impromptu solo by AuraLee Furgason.

The Quaker theologian Parker Palmer writes "Solitude and solidarity don't compete with one another, they complete one another."  How do we maintain habits of introspection while staying engaged in solidarity with a broader community?
