As you receive this newsletter, I will be returning from my summer vacation back to the corner of Winthrop and Summer. I am writing this note on June 21 as I contemplate departing the office and the congregation for a week at General Assembly (GA) and July vacation. If all goes as I anticipate, I will have gathered with colleagues and friends at GA, spent a week in SD with family, a week on Cape Cod with friends and a week sailing Penobscot Bay on the Grace Bailey.
Last year was our time to get to know each other, grow Faith-in-Action, share community, celebrate our new ministry and care for each other in times of deep sorrow and grief. I am looking forward to entering into our second year in shared ministry together. Please stop by the office in August to tell me about your hopes, visions and dreams for the upcoming year. It is a good time to visit as the pace of ministry is more relaxed.
In gratitude and faith of all that is UUCC, Rev. Carie Johnsen
