I write my sermons with you in mind. That’s right, you, the person reading this.
It’s great to begin my time here with the Unitarian Church and see the very crowded parking lot in the past few weeks! And I see that the church has a shortage of parking spaces. Fortunately, the Starmount Insurance Company across Goodwood Avenue is happy to have us park in their lot on Sundays.
In August, we look forward once again to the annual gospel service. Our gospel choir is made up of church members and friends, and will again be led by Marie Flowers, with Ross Hoppe on piano.

My family is helping me move, and we’ve stopped halfway in our journey from Rochester, NY to Baton Rouge in Knoxville, TN. I’ve loved the view from the rental truck. The seats are elevated at least 4 feet higher than the seats in my car!
Words to Live By

We play because it energizes the imagination
and can open doors to new insights and connections.
