Gratitude and Release: Saying Goodbye to Rev Karen
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. Through music, stories, and ritual, our time together will come to an end and we will make space for UUCF's next minister. Come wish Rev Karen well on her journey and celebrate this shared ministry.
Understanding the importance of your heritage illuminates your life’s museum colors as you consider your values, beliefs, traditions, Identity, and social context. Understanding your heritage also tethers the charge of causing a greater ripple in history or interrupting the current.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) or Compassionate Communication is a method of connecting with others in a structured way that can improve our interactions, which brings forth greater compassion and peace. This week we will focus on needs, which is the third component of the NVC model. Human needs are universal and shared, they are our life force and the place where we find common ground – where compassion is possible.
In the first Sunday Service of 2024 we will celebrate our Universalist heritage of love for all people, including ourselves. At this multigen service we will create intentions of love for our community and let go of what no longer serves us.
