As part of this service, we'll be hearing credo presentations from our three CoA members—Liam Yeung, Delaney McCoy and Cole Aulisio. Their mentors—Gary Nemes, Irene Mor-ley, and Jeff Martin—will share their observations on this new ninth-grade program and their experiences mentoring these young people. Some other surprises are in the pipeline for this celebration service and, of course, the traditional cake afterward.

"Remember Those Who Forget," an article written by a Presbyterian elder, asks us to imagine how congregations might become more dementia-friendly. Why is this important to Unitarian Universalists? How might our own experiences with those who suffer from cognitive memory loss—those in our congregation, families and larger communities—transform us and move us to act on our values?

The third and final year of this interim period has reached the halfway point, and it’s time to pause and take stock. How many of the goals set for this transitional time have been met, and which ones are still out of reach? What opportunities and challenges have shown up along the way, and how have they changed the West Shore story? Reflections on what has happened so far, and what comes next. The Free Spirit Band will play.
