In the past couple of weeks when we have checked in with folks at meetings, or just in conversations, we have heard from so many of you that being connected to UUSS is helping you face the tender and tumultuous times that we are in. There’s a good reason the Stewardship Team chose “A Home for Hope” as this year’s theme for the pledge campaign. So many of you have expressed feeling more hopeful after worship or after a religious education class or in listening to one another’s commitments to put Love at the Center. Hope can be hard to find but when we witness someone making a difference, offering compassion, being a welcoming place that celebrates diversity, equity, justice, inclusion, and a sense of belonging, hope emerges. Let this be a Home for Hope for one another!

This Sunday we’ll gather for worship, followed by a delicious lunch, served family style. Chair of the Stewardship Team-Kevin O’Connor will explain this year’s campaign which is unlike any other we have engaged in. We’ll join together around tables, sharing food, and being nourished by the hope experienced in the company of one another. We hope to see you Sunday!

In faith ~ Rev. Lynn & Rev. Wendy
