“Let’s go to church and be with our people.”

–suggested talking point for parents, from a handout 
prepared by a  UU congregation in the aftermath of 9/11/2001

Beloveds,

As I write this (early on Tuesday evening), I am wearing an “I voted” sticker, but I have not yet checked in with any election-day news coverage. That will happen later this evening, and tomorrow, and likely the next day as well, but just for the moment, I am resting in the near certainty that, come Sunday, I will indeed be able to go to church and be with you–the people whose company will be what I need most.

By the time you read this, you will likely have heard some good news, some bad news, and perhaps some downright devastating news. Wherever we all are by Sunday morning, I hope we will remember that one of the best ways to practice resilience in the face of what life and elections bring is simply to be together. I look forward to seeing you then.

Yours in love and faith and devotion to the practice of democracy,

Rev. Denise
