22/10/2017

Change is hard for many of us. As we consider potential changes in the congregation as part of growth, how do we balance openness and honouring who we are? How can we remain true to ourselves and at the same time invite others in who have different needs to fill and gifts to offer?

8/10/2017

On this Thanksgiving weekend, I give thanks for the UUCD and this opportunity to be in relationship with you in a new way as your minister. I give thanks, too, for the spirit that weaves this community together, and for all the twists and turns that have been part of your 20 existence as a congregation, and for all the blessings and challenges yet to come. Giving thanks for what has been, is, and will be, let's explore our potential for growth of many kinds, the seeds of which are already part of our harvest.
