“To get the full value of joy you must
have someone to divide it with.”
–Mark Twain

Dear Ones–

I found so much joy in last Sunday’s service, remembering and celebrating our congregation’s history, singing and playing together with the choir from First UU, and partaking of a positively sumptuous “potluck” lunch afterwards.

Right this moment: more joy–I am listening to Roger Wiesmeyer practicing for his concert here on Sunday afternoon. (The concert was part of our annual fundraising auction, but if you didn’t snag a ticket last spring, you can pay at the door–details below.) He is also clearly enjoying our piano, for which his parents helped us pay, back in the day–more joy in watching and listening to his joy. It’s going to be a fun concert, and Roger is looking forward to talking with us about the music, too! (For me, good conversation always = yet more joy!)

I hope you’ll choose to spend a good part of Sunday with us. Our Sunday morning service will feature Mark Mohundro, the leader of TN UU’s United–our nascent statewide legislative action network and member of the Tennessee Valley UU Congregation in Knoxville. (More connection = more joy!) As always, potluck lunch to follow. (Feed me = joy)

Yours in the joy of connection, action, and music,
Rev. Denise
