“We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved, and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed and beneath every sadness is the fear that there will not be enough time."― Mark Nepo

From Minister Margery Rossi

Joyful News! Friends- On June 21, Cirsten Conneely was accepted by the Hudson River Presbytery Committee on Preparation for Ministry as an Inquirer into the process of becoming a Minister of Word and Sacrament.

South's Session will provide support as we accompany Cirsten through this time of discernment. Next steps: Cirsten will spend some time working with the committee to determine what she needs to complete her educational requirements (she already holds a Master’s in Divinity), and I will meet with a member of the committee to learn how we, as a congregation, can support her through this process. For now, please hold Cirsten in your prayers and congratulate her when you see her next! -Margery

Margery Rossi's piece in Unbound Just published: "Pregnancy Loss & Abortion Bans: Whose Life Matters?" - a timely piece by Margery Rossi about her own experiences with pregnancy loss and access to necessary health care, in light of the possible end of Roe v Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that grants federal protection to abortion rights.
