			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we envision our future, and look toward the year 2020, we know that we will radiate an even greater light in the world.  To be clear about what Spirit is calling us to be, we know that we need to listen to Spirit, AND to listen to what Spirit reveals through you.  We have consciously and prayerfully entered into a discovery process where congregants are currently interviewing congregants.  Seventy-five interviewers have been trained, and will conduct these sacred, one-on-one conversations through October 25.  While following a beautifully scripted interview and engaging in deep, meaningful conversations, we are energetically grounding and simultaneously uplifting our community.  This journey of inquiry, discovery, dreaming and co-creating our destiny is an established group process called Appreciative Inquiry, and our experienced guide is Rev. Larry Wynn.</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;">After the interviewing ends on October 25, we immediately start preparations for our 2020 Vision Summit.  At the Summit we will</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333399;">identify and further explore the themes that were shared in our sacred conversations,</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333399;">deepen our collective understanding of our dreams, and</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333399;">looking toward 2020, start co-creating the Divine destiny for Unity of Walnut Creek.</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;">Whether an interviewee, and interviewer, or an interested congregant, you are invited to participate in our 2020 Vision Summit. 2020 Vision Summit is an exciting, powerful, Friday evening and Saturday daytime gathering of our community in which we all dream and create together.  You are invited to join in a transformative experience of creative power where our hundreds of interviews of the past month guide our spiritual community in discovering the dream that Spirit is calling our Center to fulfill—a dream that will change our lives, and through us, change the world.</span></p>
<p><strong>What is Spirit calling us to be?</strong> Come not only to discover the answer, but also to create it through Spirit expressing through you. Bring your wisdom and attunement to embrace the dream and set the priorities that will focus the spiritual power that flows through our community for years to come.  Please join us as we continue to <strong>Follow our Hearts and Radiate our Light</strong> together:</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;">Friday, October 29, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm, and</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;">Saturday, October 30, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“If you are greeted by a voice mail and you leave a message/phone number, request a return call. I also write a short note to the person, saying I was so sorry I missed them when I called and wanted to be sure they got my message and would call again stating  when I would call, Tuesday evening whatever, especially if I had called during the day when most people are at work. I also include my phone number in the letter and suggest if they prefer to call me at a time convenient to them to please do so. I close by saying how much I look forward to speaking to them in person.  So far only one person has not returned my call, and I have seven interviewees!”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&lt;Hi, hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening,&gt;</p>
<p>My name is &lt;insert name&gt; and I am a volunteer working on the 2020 Vision project at Unity Center of Walnut Creek.  I have recently been trained in a one-on-one appreciative inquiry interview process and would like to invite you to enter into a meaningful conversation with me.</p>
<p>In holding these sacred conversations with members of our community, we intend to discover what we do best at Unity while we dream and design our future.  This is a very important part of our 10 year planning process and 75 of us have been trained to conduct interviews.  The results of the interviews will provide the foundation that helps us co-create our future direction. This is probably unlike any other planning process you’ve known before, so if you are curious to learn more, please go to <a href="http://2020vision.unitycenter.net/">http://2020vision.unitycenter.net</a>.</p>
<p>I hope that you can schedule time to meet with me in the next &lt;few days, week, couple of weeks&gt; at a location that is convenient to you.  If you’d like, we can arrange to meet at Unity in Walnut Creek.  While not everyone is able to participate, I hope your voice can be part of the collective conversation to follow our hearts and radiate our light into 2020. I &lt;find that there is much shared joy in conducting these interviews, or insert your sentiment here,&gt; so I look forward to hearing from you and having an opportunity to meet with you soon.</p>
<p>Have a &lt;wonderful, glorious, joy-filled, abundantly blessed&gt; day.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
