Welcoming Change –
Rev. Shana Lynngood, homilist, with
Rosemary Harrison, worship associate –
As we return to a new program year in the life of our congregation, we begin with the theme of welcome. In many ways, offering welcome seems
so, so simple. What could be easier than inviting someone in and offering them a seat, a listening ear, some empathy?
And yet, we know that human connecting can be hard, especially if there are differences between us (both personality and in terms of identity) that can lead to misunderstandings or disagreements.
To deeply welcome means welcoming change. We also begin our new church year by welcoming an exciting musical guest, Jen Hayman, one of the luminaries in UU music leadership. She will be with us in September and October for two residencies and will be working with our Chalice Choir this Sunday.
