Much of ministry is a benediction—
A speaking well of each other and the world—
A speaking well of what we value:

honesty
love
forgiveness
trust

A speaking well of our efforts—
A speaking well of our dreams.
This is how we celebrate life:
Through speaking well of it,
Living the benediction,
and becoming as a word 
well-spoken.

Beloveds,

This Sunday, we are going to speak some good words together! Wear your walking shoes because we will gather in our breezeway at 11:00 am and then move around our campus (indoors and out), blessing all the spaces of our church home, rededicating some of them after last year's damage and renovations. 

Although we will not have a fully hybrid service, we will establish a Zoom connection between those walking around the campus and anyone who would prefer to join us on Zoom from a comfy chair at church or at home. Religious Education participants will participate in blessing our outdoor spaces and the Religious Education building, and then split off for their own programming. 

Yours in gratitude for the space that holds us as a community, 

Rev. Denise

P.S. Still wondering: Where on our church campus do you feel most at home? And why? What is special, comforting, awe-inspiring or whatever about your favorite GNUUC space? Please send a quick email to let me know!
