We all face challenges and transitions in life, and sometimes we need a listening ear. That’s why we have Lay Ministers here at UUFR: trained volunteers who offer a ministry of presence. Whether you are dealing with a personal crisis, a loss, or a big life change, our Lay Ministers are here for you. We are excited to announce that starting this Sunday, our Lay Ministers will be available in the Sanctuary after worship services to speak with anyone going through a difficult time who needs a listening ear. You can also contact them directly through our Breeze database or ask Rev. James or Rev. Sasha for assistance. Your 2023-24 Lay Ministers are Bill Devereux, Eleanor Goodwin, Rachel Wellons, and William Smith. We are grateful for the dedication and service of our Lay Ministers. If you’re looking for a listening ear and a loving heart, reach out to a Lay Minister today. Contact Rev. Sasha to set up a meeting.
