Dear ones,

When things are hard, what sustains you in your UU faith? Is it knowing you are not alone? Is it being part of this religious community? Is it the Spirit of Life? the sounds of children playing? raising our voices in song together? a spirited discussion about things that matter? recognizing our interdependence? engaging in the work of equity and justice? remembering tenderness in our interactions? deep listening and being really heard?

Maybe it is story? or prayer? or meditation? feeling connected to the Earth? Perhaps it is working for peace, practicing compassion, stretching in generosity, opening to the transformative power of Unitarian Universalism? or is it remembering that you are held in Love?

Maybe it ‘depends on the day’… Whatever it is that sustains you, we hope you find it here in this congregation, with these people. Life can be so hard, leaving us feeling tenderhearted or overwhelmed. Perhaps consider breathing in peace and breathing out gratitude for the gift of building beloved community together and let that practice hold your tenderness.

With peace,

Rev. Wendy and Rev. Lynn
