The Art of Gathering
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains

Rev. Kevin Tarsa
Why come together on a Sunday morning (whether on site or on Zoom) when so many other possibilities abound? And what should we do once we do gather? Though we can get a little set in our ways sometimes, this is a perpetual and unfolding question for members of a community such as this. What is your response these days to such invitations?
