ATTAINABLE DREAMING
Electrons circle the nucleus of an atom in orbital levels. As an electron jumps to a higher orbit it gives off energy. Using this as a metaphor, the Unitarian Church of Sharon has recently jumped to another level and is giving off more good energy. From 2009 to 2012 we have:
+built a wonderful new, accessible, functional addition;
+expanded our programming in all areas:
+grown from 114 members to 152 members;
+grown in Sunday adult attendance from 69 average to 92 average.
We are on a new orbit or plateau. Our growth has slowed and we are enjoying this new level. Now is a good time to dream again. What would you like us to be or do three years from now? It does not need to be more members — it may be deepening in other areas. It is fun to dream and even more fun to make dreams come true. In our personal life and our collective life, let’s dream in a way which challenges us to stretch and grow in a way which is attainable.
