We the People
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
July 28, 2024
Rev. Kevin Tarsa
Beth Karow (for Lindsay Dunckel), Worship Associate
Join in charging and blessing the incoming Board of Trustees as we reflect on how we, together, make up this place called UUCM – we imagine it, we create it each day, we hold it to pass on to those who come after us. It is a whole greater than the sum of its parts; as adrienne maree brown says, “trust the people to do everything better than you could have imagined.”
