Hold Everybody Up
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
November 17, 2024
Rev. Kevin Tarsa
Gail Johnson Vaughan, Worship Associate
As we continue to come to terms with the realities of the presidential election and our related feelings, we turn our focus for a moment from what has been lost, to “what is left.” We’ll invite a second set of discoveries in the journey toward allowing our grief to become transformative. Again, the deep power of gathering in community will be part of what sustains as we commit to “Hold Everybody Up!”
