 More Q&A On an Assistant Minister
Rev. Kim Wildszewski
Since February’s start to our Stewardship Campaign, in which I preached on our need to bring on an Assistant Minister, there have been many conversations. Some have been affirming and encouraging, others have brought to light new concerns or questions. As we near a decision on whether we can financially sustain a second minister and who that might be, I hope to address some of the questions and concerns I’ve heard informally and at the five Listening Circles offered.

Since publishing the below article, we received word from the Ministerial Fellowship Committee that our Ministerial Resident, Hannah Gallo, will not be able to serve as our Assistant Minister. Rev. Kim and the Personnel Committee continue to consider next steps and our financial capabilities. Updates will be shared with the congregation as they are available.

Music and Cultural Mis/Appropriation
Caryl Tipton, Director, Music Ministry
For the past two months, I’ve shared one musician’s perspective on cultural appropriation. As promised, this month I’m sharing my own thoughts. As I continue to “lean into” this complicated issue, I welcome your thoughts and feelings with love and care. Tell me about music that speaks to you, or causes you pain, so that the choir or individual musicians might offer music in a service with more mindfulness. The most important thing is to continue the dialog and to listen to everyone at UUCWC with compassion and an open heart. Read More…

There will be one more Bylaws Listening Circle on Monday, April 29, 7pm.
