Thoughts to Ponder

"A whole lot of us go through life assuming that we are basically right, basically all the time, about basically everything: about our political and intellectual convictions, our religious and moral beliefs, our assessment of other people, our memories, our grasp of facts. As absurd as it sounds when we stop and think about it, our steady state seems to be one of unconsciously assuming that we are very close to omniscient." – Kathryn Shulz, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error (Ecco, 2010)

Claremont & Hecla UMC are accepting donations of mittens, hats, gloves and scarves during this season of Advent. Please bring your donations and place them on the tree at the entrance to fellowship hall in Claremont or under the tree in Hecla. They will be sent to the Tree of Life and other mission needs in the area.
