“
For All Earth: Ministries of People and Planet
”
~ Rev. Karen Brammer, Guest Worship Leader
Much has been said about the tragic inequities common to both the pandemic and climate crisis. As a people of faith, we can also look at real possibilities and gifts inherent in both, and make decisions about how we live our values in recognition of tragedy and possibility.

“
Make Them Hear You
”
~ Rev. Jef Gamblee, Guest Worship Leader
Prior to walking into an non-judicial execution, Coalhouse Walker, in the musical
Ragtime, exhorts his friends to tell the story of the challenges of Black life in America. Our service includes a little Broadway, Dr. King quotes, and a challenge or two. Everything you want in a summer UU service.
Pastor Jef is a retired UU minister living in beautiful Westerville, OH, with his wife of 45 years, Pat Wallendjack. Prior to retiring to Ohio, they lived in New York City for 15 years. As a New Yorker, he served our congregation as intern and then as Minister In Residence during Rev. Huston’s sabbatical. In 2009 we ordained him and he promised to remain in communication with our congregation, which he has done. His retirement ministry includes UU Justice Ohio, Ohio Poor People’s Campaign, tending to grandsons, and serving as Chief of Staff for his cat, Bell.

Although I do not normally participate in live worship services between the 3rd Sunday in June and the 1st Sunday after Labor Day, I am looking forward to providing music for former CUUC ministerial intern Rev. Jef Gamblee on August 9. It will be a pleasure to collaborate again with Jef, and reconnect with many of you then..
