What do we value most about our faith community? What nourishes us? At this service Rev. Susan Panttaja will begin with our traditional service and lay the foundation for a heart-centered, congregation-wide discussion of what is most important to us about NVUU. Next the Finance Committee will share information about our financial status, and join Rev. Susan in creating an opportunity to hear everyone’s thoughts. This is an important conversation in the life of our congregation. Please join us in person if you can. The service and discussion will also take place on Zoom.
