Thank you to all who could join me at my ordination!  It was a celebration brimming with joy and love! A beautiful reminder of how our ministries and our communities are woven into the fabric of Unitarian Universalism; connected to all who have come before, and all who will come after. I'm incredibly grateful for your love and support at the ordination, and the thoughtful cards and conversations I've had with so many of you since.
