Waiting for Spring
with Rev. Susan, Maggie Ingalls, and Brian Shaw
To everything there is a season. The season of winter is a time of waiting, and a time of preparation for what is to come, for what we want to flourish in the spring. February’s worship theme is “Justice and Equity,” which names two UU values. In this season of planning and waiting, what seeds shall we plant that will continue to build a fully accessible and inclusive Beloved Community at NVUU where everyone can thrive?
