October Welcome
01 October 2019
One of the joys of my years serving our UUA as a Congregational Life Consultant, and now serving as the Regional Lead for the MidAmerica Region, has been the ways in which it has given me the opportunity to meet Unitarian Universalists from across our country, and to journey with Unitarian Universalist congregations in times of joy, times of challenge, and everything in-between.
