We will host an online worship service on Sunday, January 10th at 11:15 am.
To Begin a New Story: Imagining a Shared Ministry – Rev. Karen Gustafson, Interim Minister
The Interim between settled ministers is, by design, a time for a congregation to look at itself and to claim the strengths and to address challenges that have shaped its history. One of the presenting challenges at the start of the current Interim was the story of complicated relationships between UCE and your past ministers. To fully express the potential of this amazing congregation, UCE is being invited to embrace a new story about the nature of ministry and the nature and role of your new settled Senior Minister.

Please submit your Joys and Sorrows through this online form. If you submit a message by 11 am, we will try to read it that Sunday. Thank you for your patience as we are adapting to best serve you all! Note there will only be one service time during the summer so that we can gather together as a whole community of faith. You can still give to the shared offering through “text to give,” mail a check to the office with “shared offering” in the memo line, or go to our website and hit “give” on the upper right or click here. This Sunday’s shared offering recipient is Community Renewal Society (CRS).
