Hi Jennifer Have you thought of an evening of story telling on Friday night? It could make Saturday juicier and people would have a chance to precess in their dreams. Audrey

My Unitarian church is in a similar spot (differences on budget & staffing instead of theology), and I've been trying to figure out how to us OST. In terms of timing, I can probably only get people for Friday evening 6-9 pm and Saturday 9-4. How would you structure the time in that case? I hate to start opening up Friday night and not have time to do much.
