The Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray - December 5, 2021
Cultivating Gratitude and Joy
The Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray invites us to consider how we practice gratitude and find joy in the midst of the holiday season. Please join us for this special service in partnership with our denomination, the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA). Our distinguished guest began her six-year term as president of the UUA in June 2017. As president of the Association, she is responsible for administering staff and programs that serve its more than 1,000 member congregations. She also acts as principal spokesperson and minister-at-large for the UUA. Susan brings a strong focus on mission and strategic planning to her leadership at the UUA as it works to dismantle systems of white supremacy. As president, and as a life-long Unitarian Universalist, she has emphasized that this is no time for a casual faith and no time to go it alone.
From Monthly: "Opening to Joy"
Opening to Joy invites us to consider the joy that is already present in our lives but perhaps goes unnoticed. The holidays are filled with opportunities to slow down and appreciate the small miracles of our lives. Who helps you see the joy in front of you? How has your definition of joy changed? Are you mostly a creator of joy, receiver of joy, notice-er of joy, or spreader of joy?
