From Congregation President, Marshall Fogel: I am delighted to announce the appointment of the Transition Task Force. As we discussed at the Board's July 10 meeting, the Task Force will help fulfill our goal to "guarantee successful Phase 1 construction status completion with a minimum of (adverse) impact to congregational health and operations." Additional information will be available in the August Newsletter.

Social Justice Books Available to Borrow! Your Social Justice Team (Kathy Zapata, Susan Lewallen and Deb Coon) would like to announce 5 new books that we’ve purchased for the Chalice Library. Did you know Chalice even had a library? The books on the shelves in the Common Room can all be borrowed by congregants simply by signing them out on the page on the blue clip board with your name and the date you borrowed the book. Please look over them and borrow them — Chalice folk love books!!

Reading Group Forming!! In support of the congregation’s wish to better inform ourselves about issues of racial justice, the Social Justice Team will offer a reading group on the book Centering: Navigating Race, Authenticity, and Power in Ministry, edited by Mitra Rahnema. This is a book recommended by the UUA as a 2017-2018 "Common Read." Anyone who is interested in participating should contact Deb Coon at debjcoon@gmail.com. No schedule has been set yet — we will work that out with the group of people who show interest. It will probably involve three 90-minute sessions. Depending on interest, there will be one or more groups of 6-8.
