We will host an online worship service on Sunday, July 5th at 11:15 am.
“Nap, Pray, Love” – by Monica Kling-Garcia
In our society, productivity is often the measure of success. Yet, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to be “productive” was prevented by our collective grief and sudden changes in our society. If we listen to ourselves, we may find that we are tired in many ways – physically and spiritually. This Sunday, we will explore the different ways to let ourselves rest and why it is important. Log in to church in your comfy clothes and with your favorite warm beverage in hand as we care for our mind, body, and spirit together!
Monica Kling-Garcia is the Schug Ministerial Intern at the First Unitarian Church of Chicago and a third year seminarian at Meadville Lombard Theological School. At Meadville Lombard, she currently serves as the co-president of the Student Advisory Council, and was also the recipient of the 2019 Carleton Doan Prize in the Philosophy of Religion. In her ministry at First Unitarian, Monica has worked to foster a spirit of connection and community through her preaching, small groups, and the successful Celebrate@First community event series. A Wisconsinite at heart, Monica now lives in Chicago with her husband, Logan, and their cat, Yennefur.
