Pausing to reflect,

we gather strength and insight

to face tomorrow.

We are so grateful to the lay folks who are leading worship this summer. They are offering their gifts with open hearts, reflecting on their lives on the adventure of a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. If you’re in town, we hope you attend worship at UUSS. If you’re out of town, we hope you attend worship wherever you are visiting or attend UUSS online!

We have been working on some other UUSS projects during this time, doing some pastoral care check-ins, working on hiring a new DLRE, and some other important tasks and planning for the coming year.

Later this week, we will take some time for vacation to pause and reflect, rest, and tend to our well-being. August will be a combination of Study Leave and work which will include the Board retreat preparation and participation. During Study Leave, we engage in spiritual practices, writing projects, worship research, collegial connections, continuing education, and other things to renew and refill. We hope you can carve out a little time this summer for renewal and refilling because you are worth taking care of!

With care,

Rev. Wendy and Rev. Lynn
