Pathetic Spiritual Practice

We are in times of great change and uncertainty. Our schedules are upended. Our nerves are frayed. Now more than ever, we need tools to nurture our spirit in order to heal ourselves. Join Rev. Denise as she helps us explore what is spiritual practice. Do you have one? What makes it a practice as opposed to something you do once in a while? What are the benefits? Worried you can’t add another thing to your list? How can you think of water as a metaphor for your spiritual practice? Rev. Denise promises that when done pathetically your spiritual practice can make more space in your life.

I sense in RevD a serious effort to review where UUCW is at this challenging point, coming out of a pandemic and with budget challenges. She is taking full advantage of her brief time as full-time minister to triage major tasks, envision new and creative ways to engage church members, and prioritize future developments within a tough budget forecast

 I am enjoying your mix of humanistic, esoteric, and practical spirituality. You are so good at encouraging and motivating parishioners to step up. Thanks for the nudge.

Rev. Denise has strong planning skills. We were able to plan many weeks in advance which gave me time to be successful planning RE lessons and to find suggestions for TFAA. Rev. Denise made time for me. I appreciate the time she spent collaborating with me.

Denise goes out of her way to include material sources from marginalized people (disabled, people of color, LGBTQ+, poor, immigrants and more) to remind us of our opportunities to welcome all.

I see Denise as a thought leader in a larger congregation. She holds the big picture, has a great handle on the mission and can raise positive energy.
