It's been a year since we left Twitter/X. For us, continued engagement with the platform was "no longer consistent with our commitment to truth, integrity or peace." Find out more at fwcc.world/leaving-twit... and tell us what made you switch to BlueSky in the comments ⬇️

Many of us believe that we have to earn rest and renewal and that overwork is the norm, a badge of honor. "Reclaiming Rest" is a new retreat with Valerie Brown from March 1-8 to unlearn toxic productivity and burnout, and connect rest with peacemaking.

The star on our gorgeous 70ft Hemlock tree is back! Jeremy, our Grounds Associate who's barely visible in the canopy, is reconnecting the electric to the star that Grounds and Facilities Director, Lloyd Guindon, installed in 2002. It will light up the night for another winter season!
