JUNE 2021
______________________
The end of June will close out the Unitarian Universalist Association's Fiscal Year 2020-2021. I believe that many of us will be happy to have at least some of the past year in the rearview mirror.
From my perspective, though, UUCGT has braved the challenges with, perhaps, a stronger sense of community and shared values than in a long while, or perhaps - in some ways, at least - ever. Just past June's halfway point I'll have been employed here for a year. How can SO MUCH LIFE have happened?!? I cannot thank you enough for how welcome you've made me feel and how patient and forgiving you've been: I feel that I am just beginning to have a handle on things.
But all of that is small potatoes relative to what you have accomplished individually and collectively. My point is that as a newcomer I've watched in admiration and respect and even awe, and with, yes, love as you've adjusted, adapted, weathered, and somehow within all of these challenges continued to create stories and music and community, not to mention found and called a new Settled Minister. Bravissimi, and onward.
Once again Amanda Mangiardi has put together a beautiful Beacon, collecting news from many corners of the UUCGT community and life.
