Wax on, Wax off

Not even the sudden rearranging of the room between panels can remove Dr. Whitepant's focus on Drew's sex life. In the unseen third panel Drew completes his "wax on, wax off" karate move to wipe that goofy grin off of Dr. Whitepant's face.
------------------------------------

I have a homework assignment from the new minister. Something about looking at the congregation as a system. I will try to work on it later today and encourage Walter to complete his assignment as well.

I will miss Rev. Teri but I look forward to Rev. Eric and the future of the church. Rev. Teri's last sermon was an open discussion about ministry. A few people spoke about what Rev. Teri has given our church and Teri spoke about what we have given her. She solicited comments about any one's thoughts about the future of the ministry of Brazos UU but time ran out.

My hope is that we become known as the church in Bryan/ College Station that meets certain needs. I want others to recommend us to gay, agnostic, questioning, curious, non-religious, wounded people because they know that we would welcome them and provide a safe community where they can heal their wounds, wrestle with questions without condemnation and find community regardless of what they are. I want others to say to people, "You need x or you are x? Go to the UU church. They will accept/ help you."

That last statement could have a variety of intentions behind it but at least someone is not just banished out in the wilderness without any prospect of refuge.
