Dear friend,

What a retreat we shared together! Our team really felt people leaning into the opportunities for self-examination and self-knowledge and we are grateful for the ways that this community continues to journey together in such meaningful ways. This is a long email but please take the time to read through it.

We are delighted to tell you that the amount collected at the leaving service for the financial need in this community was met almost exactly — the gifts totaled $797.51! Thank you for affirming the importance of every person in this community with your generosity. 

Several of you had reached out expressing a desire to cover whatever need might be remaining at the end of the retreat. If you had wanted to contribute but haven't done so yet, we would encourage you to consider making a donation but directing it to the Mulholland Scholarship Fund. We still have 3 more retreats and it is possible that someone else in this community might find themselves in need of financial support and what a blessing it would be to already have a safety net ready.

Additionally, as we begin accepting applications for TC19, we know that there will be leaders who long to join Transforming Community but are uncertain about whether or not they can afford it. Your generosity would make it possible for these people to say "yes" to the invitation to get on the transforming journey with us!

If you would like to make a donation to the scholarship fund to support leaders with financial needs in the future please click here and select Mulholland Undesignated Scholarship.

Praying with you and for you, as you enter into this quarter,

The TC17 Team

P.S. Don't forget about your Community Webpage!

NOTIFICATION OF A POSITIVE COVID CASE
A member of your community tested positive for COVID upon returning home from the retreat. If you are feeling unwell, we wanted you to be aware of this so that you can make the best desisions about next steps regarding your health and wellness. This person has already reached out to their small group to notify them. We will continue to maintain open communication if we recieve any other news as a way of honoring our life together in community.
