In celebration of Rev. Karen's shared ministry with UUCF, we will share gratitude for all the ways we have grown together and release each other to the next stages in each of our ministries.

Come wish Rev Karen well on her journey and celebrate this shared ministry. 

The closing words that our youth recite when they extinguish the chalice at the end of class end with, "We are building a better world together… we don't have to it alone."
