Minister's Message
The Fourth UU Board is pleased to announce a new quarter-time minister has been hired for the congregation. Rev. Terry Kime, will begin officially on February 1, 2022. The Board is eager to have such an experienced minister sharing with us, especially during these challenging times. Welcome, Rev. Terry! - Marc Bernstein, President of the Board of Trustees
Hello 4th UU Members and Friends, I am happy to begin my ministry with you in February. I am hopeful we will find our time together enriching both in mind and heart. I am minister emerita of the UU congregation in Fredonia, NY, not far from Buffalo. I have served as parish minister to congregations in PA, NY, OH, and CA. I have also worked as a hospice chaplain. I consider myself a Buddhist UU, but carry a deep appreciation for all the sources of our Living Tradition. I will be with you quarter-time, remotely. This means that for one week out of the month, I will be available for committee meetings and meetings with individuals, study groups, or classes, and will preach at the Sunday service at the end of that week - all via zoom or phone call. I anticipate being with you the week that covers the second Monday of the month, which is when the board meets. I will also be available the rest of the month for emergencies or urgent matters. Please feel free to contact me at my congregational email: rev.terry@fourthuu.org. I look forward to getting to know you and your love for this congregation and our UU faith, as we begin this adventure of shared ministry together. Peace and joy, Terry (she/her) |
