At the October congregational meeting, I shared a bit about the Vinery Program, a grant funded program for cohorts of congregations to consider together how they might grow or enhance their relationships with neighboring colleges and universities. While the program does not officially begin until January, with a retreat in January in South Carolina, the UCG Church Council affirmed the members of our Lead Team at its October Meeting. I will serve as our clergy representative, Judy Parsons will serve as one lay leader, and new UCG member (and UF community member) Emily Anderton will serve as the other. Please thank Judy and Emily when you see them for committing to this exciting time of exploration, and look forward to hearing more from all three of us after January!
