MINISTER’S MESSAGE
June 2018
As our time together comes to an end, I want to say what an honor it has been to serve as your minister these past two years. Thank you for welcoming me into the life of this beloved community. I have learned so much from my ministry with each of you. While it saddens me to say Good-bye, I am confident we will both continue to grow in ways we cannot yet imagine.
Change is never easy and comes with varying degrees of doubt, anxiety, grief, and excitement. Our resilience, however, depends on how much faith we have in our selves and each other. We need the love, support, and knowledge of others in our lives to lift our spirits, celebrate our successes, heal our wounds, mourn our losses, appreciate our differences, and adapt to the changes in our lives. It is this network of mutuality that gives us hope as we face the unknown.
I want to take this time to express my gratitude to the Board for the way in which they have navigated the many challenges of this past year. Their perseverance and dedication to the current and future wellbeing of UU Weymouth deserves our utmost love and support.
May you continue to promote yourselves in new ways in the community that shares the good news of Unitarian Universalism. Embrace technology, develop new skills, and experiment with new ideas. New opportunities will present themselves and new people will join you in the search for truth and meaning on this marvelous journey called life.
I hope you have a wonderful summer and many new adventures in the years ahead!
May the warmth of the summer breeze,
The smell of the ocean air,
The beauty of the setting sun,
The magnificence of a starry night,
Renew your spirit, and restore your
Confidence in the mystery of creation
and in the hope for a bright tomorrow.
Many Blessings,
Beau
