Ministry Update Reverend Linn Possell    As some of you may know already from  attending service yesterday and possibly by watching the video on facebook, I shared with the congregation yesterday that I believe that my role at Hope Unites has come to an end.  I believe that we have together created an amazing community that is centered in respect and love for all life.  Hope Unites is about "creating the world in which we all want to live" and each one of us has taken part in helping that vision become a reality.  Hope Unites is ready to move into our next phase of growth and I believe that what I can do to help this process is to create the space for this growth to happen.  I believe that it is time for new leadership and want to create the space for you to find the person who will help you transition to your next phase of growth.     My role at Hope Unites was to help you all create a community that is welcoming to all people and centered in the divine.  It has also been my role to help each person at Hope Unites embrace and embody our vision.  I believe that my role is finished because you all do embrace and embody the vision of honoring the sacred in all of life and this is apparent in the way we welcome all people, how we help one another in need, how we make all of our decisions by consensus and how we celebrate each person's experience and expression of the Holy.  Now it will be the congregation of Hope Unites that will continue to teach and help everyone who comes into contact with our church, learn how to embrace and embody this vision.    As soon as the council and I decide what the time frame of this transition will be, I will let you all know.   Please feel free to speak with me if you have any questions or comments.   Grace and Peace to You   Linn        Please be sure to post this to your FaceBook or other social networking page by following the links below.      Help us in creating the world in which we all want to live.   If you feel inclined to give a Financial Donation to support our work, please CLICK HERE
