SUNDAY WORSHIP
The Dance of Ministry
Rev. Shari Woodbury
August 31, 2026
“Shared ministry is all about creating the conditions for genuine and sacred connections to be made.” - Anonymous
“Learn to follow, learn to lead, feel the rhythm, fill the need, to reap the harvest, plant the seed. Let it be a dance.” #311 by Ric Masten
Our minister reflects on what she has learned – about Unitarian Universalism, congregations, life, and herself – over her first ten years of parish ministry (2016-2026). Because all ministry is shared ministry, the lessons are relevant to everyone in the church. With gifts of dance from Della Bynum and the Chrysalis Ensemble, plus Saxophonist Elijah Beasley.
Attend in Person or via YouTube.
