Tending the Fallow Season
10:30am, with livestream YouTube
Fallow ground isn’t empty ground — it’s ground that’s resting and being tended on purpose, so what grows next grows stronger. How do we do that in our individual lives and as a community? We begin to explore the work we’ll do together, the questions we’ll ask about ourselves and who we want to become, and how it all prepares the soil for the future. The service will be led by Rev. Connie Simon.
FRSUU Welcomes New Interim Minister!
Rev. Connie explains her approach to interim ministry on her website: “I’ve chosen to focus my ministry on transitional work because I genuinely love it. There’s something deeply meaningful about accompanying congregations through periods of change—helping them reflect on their history, clarify their identity, strengthen their leadership, and step intentionally into their future. Transitions are challenging, but they’re also extraordinary opportunities for growth, healing, and renewal.”
