Minister’s Message

Happy June, Dear Ones!

Do you associate this time of year with democracy in action? I sure do! Here’s why: NVUU’s annual meeting is this Sunday, June 8, following the service. This year, members will be voting to approve the 2025-26 budget and to elect the Board of Trustees and the nominating committee.

In addition, the UUA General Assembly will take place this month, from June 18 to 22, in Baltimore, MD. GA is where delegates from the UU congregations conduct the business of the UUA. Phyllis Boyson will serve as one of NVUU’s delegates, joining the proceedings online. I will attend the GA in person and will also be a delegate. This year, we will be electing a new UUA moderator or co-moderators and other elected officials. We will also be voting whether to adopt congregational study/action issues on abolition, fat liberation, and housing justice, plus actions of immediate witness. You can read about all the voting items in the agenda HERE. If you have opinions about these items, you are welcome to share them with Phyllis or me.

Please note that I will be in Baltimore from June 15 through June 22. I will check messages intermittently, but may be delayed in responding.

Don’t forget that we will be celebrating the uniquely Unitarian Flower Ceremony during the June 8 service at 11 am. Please bring a flower to share, as we revel in the power of community.

In faith,

Rev. Susan
