Sunday, October 12, 2025 Called into Partnership

Posted on by MaryBeth Hannan

Services held in Hobbs Hall.

Throughout our long history UU congregations have been charged with choosing their own ministers. Based on the congregation knowing and owning its own course of ministry to the church and the community, the congregation searches for that minister who can partner with them: challenging, comforting, supporting, working alongside them. Calling a minister is one of our greatest responsibilities and joys.
