Sunday we shared a nationally-streamed service from our parent organization, the Unitarian Universalist Association. Its theme: "Loved into Being." In the words of Zora Neale Hurston, "Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place." Many of us have experienced this --- when we encountered someone who was committed to accepting us, authentic, hidden parts of ourselves could emerge. We could be loved into more fully being ourselves. And when more of us are empowered to say yes to our authentic selves and values together, we can bring forth power that can change the world. Many have found these experiences in Unitarian Universalism; this is a crucial part of our vision, of what it means to UUs to be a "saving faith." Our support of our UU congregation touches people in ways we will never know, and several inspired speakers including UUA President Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray encouraged us to stay committed to supporting and building our local UU community.
The full service is available to view or download online:

After the service, we held a brief membership meeting and elected our incoming UUFJC Board:
President: Rich Burdge
Vice President: Lisa Sanning (continuing)
Treasurer: Bob Antweiler (continuing)
Director of Religious Education: Kim Connor (continuing)
Secretary: Emma Regnier
Many thanks to outgoing and continuing board members for their service and to incoming board members for stepping up! Those elected today will work with the outgoing board for the next two months and take office at our annual membership meeting in May.
For those who would also like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service is now available to view online: https://youtu.be/QOi-WM0sq-E
