This time of year, I like to look at seed catalogs. The pictures of herbs, flowers and vegetables fill me with the hope of what is to come. I no longer have a large garden but soon I will start pots of seedlings to fill my container garden. This year, though, I am reminded that we also need winter's dormancy. We need to give things time to rest and germinate so that the new growth will be healthy and strong.
We are experiencing a year of change at the Highlands. The chapel is soon to open as Melrose Yoga and the Highlands Nursery School will close at the end of this year. Just a few months ago, we would have thought neither of these to be possible. During these winter months, teams are looking at new ways to configure staff, the building and our ministries. They will be seeking your input at upcoming congregational meetings. Before decisions are made, there needs to be some time cultivating the soil with prayer and reflection. Please keep MHCC in your prayers.
This Sunday, January 12th, we are continuing our New Member class after worship. The conversation will be on "Catholics in the UCC" and Stewardship. If you are interested in either of these topics, please join us after worship.
Blessings,
Beth
