June 28, 2025, "Benediction"
As the final day of the interim approaches (tomorrow!) I think we can say we've done good work. The church looks to be in a healthy position and well set-up for your next chapter. Me too! as I conclude my career and start retirement. What a pleasure it has been to spend these last three years with you, and what a gift to end my ministry in the same congregation where it began. The Studio City UU Church will always have a special place in my heart and in my life story. I pass it back to you now and place it in your capable hands. I thank you all and I bless you all.
May 10, 2025, "Exciting Time'"
I'm looking forward to singing with the choir tonight and being with you all again for worship on Sunday. As the church approaches the end of our fiscal year and program year, we're also approaching the end of my interim ministry. It's an exciting time, there's a lot to celebrate, and still a lot of work to do. Let's make the most of our remaining time together and power the church into a strong future.
April 19, 2025, "Easter Sunday"
This Sunday will be quite a special day at church. I hope you’ll dress “fancy” and join our Easter parade. We will also welcome new members during the service and celebrate a few members who joined our community more than 50 years ago! The choir has prepared a spectacular anthem, arranged by John Bergquist, including parts for bass soloist, violin, and organ. All to be followed by an elevated “coffee hour” with treats just for Easter. A great day at church. And great fun.
April 12, 2025, "Passover/Holy Week'"
This week is Passover, beginning this evening and ending next Sunday. This week is also Holy Week, in the Christian calendar, leading to Easter Sunday. We will honor both holidays during our worship, through a UU lens. In its essence, Passover is a holiday of liberation. What is holding you down that you can break free from or leave behind? And Easter is a promise that new life is always possible, even after the most difficult of challenges. What are you hoping will emerge for you in the coming days?
