Messages from Rev. Nan L. White, RVUUF Developmental Minister from 2014 to 2017
A few people have contacted me asking if and hoping Sam and I are safe. We are fine. The worst was east of us and flooding is really bad. Donating to UUA Disaster Fund is best way to help. We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers, and we miss you. Nan Contact info for further information: … Continue reading Note from Rev. Nan White
This is my last Nan’s News. I want to share with you the standard expectations when a minster leaves a congregation. In an effort to make room for and respect the incoming minister (even when you don’t yet know when/who that will be) and to bring closure with the outgoing minister, the request is for … Continue reading Nan’s News: May you bless each other
Your generosity and gratitude expressed privately and collectively at the June 11 Sunday service touched Sam and me. We are grateful our paths crossed while in southern Oregon. Our memories and the meaning we gained will be with us for a long time. Thank you.
Gilda Radner’s quote that I spoke about in last Sunday’s service has been repeated several times since this week. Her comment about how she wanted a perfect ending, referencing her impending death from cancer, has somewhat haunted me this week for a particular reason, but rest assured I don’t have cancer.

She has worked in collaboration with Lead Teacher Liz Bianco, supporting the teachers and children in the Sunday morning Religious Exploration program. … Continue reading Nan’s News: Cynthia Parkhill is leaving RVUUF
A celebration of gratitude for all who made a pledge to the future of RVUUF was experienced last Sunday, with delicious cakes too! The report of more than $145,000 in pledges so far is deeply appreciated. The request to pledge will continue for those of you who have not done so, by turning your pledge … Continue reading Nan’s News: More than $145,000 in pledges
I am challenged to share with you news that is not a reflection of RVUUF, but it is a reflection of two associations of which RVUUF and myself as minister are in direct relationship and therefore has an effect at some level.
As I write this article for April, it’s the first day of spring and sunny outside. I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the earth and her turning seasons, especially the visible transformation from winter to spring. As long as the winter has remained with us this year, the reality of all the work … Continue reading Nan’s News: Change is only constant in our lives
