This past week we drove over the Mohawk River…. a river with so much history. A river that bends and curves around and weaves through many of the places that folks at UUSS live, attend school, work, and/or play. You may pass by or over this river regularly.

The stoles that we were given at our installation as your called Co-ministers in 2018, include a representation of this river. We minister in the context of this community, and this particular place on the beautiful Earth.

Rivers, like Our Living Tradition, are created by their banks and all that flows within. We want the whole ecosystem to be strong and healthy. Each of us is a part of the river that is UUSS as we have connected at a particular time and place even as the past flows into present… into future. we want this ecosystem to be strong and healthy, too.

Celebration Sunday was vibrant and joyful! Thank you to those who attended, to those who pledged, to those who can not afford a pledge right now but pledge to support the congregation in other ways, and to those who are exploring whether this just might be your spiritual home. Let’s keep Living Love Out Loud TOGETHER!

With thanks for all that keeps the river flowing,

~ Rev. Lynn & Rev. Wendy
