For the first time, Rev. Sean offers a video update to members and friends of RVUUF. Among video highlights: the Water Ceremony that takes place this Sunday. “Bring some water that is meaningful to you, and we will collect these waters into a common bowl.”

The service will be followed by RVUUF’s community potluck; if it’s smokey, the potluck will be held indoors.

Other video highlights include Rev. Cat Cox’s latest online beginners’ class on Covenant-Based Communication and conflict resolution.

“The point of the class is a way to learn skills that we didn’t learn anywhere else. It’s about communicating clearly, compassionately, directly — dealing with conflict in healthy ways.” Rev. Cox is also offering an advanced group to put the skills into practice: “applying those to specific situations both within and outside the congregation.”

Rev. Sean’s office hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Wednesday, 3 to 7 p.m. Rev. Sean is also available at other times by scheduling an appointment through his calendar-scheduling application.
