As our nation approaches an election with extremely different
candidates, as events in the Mediterranean and Ukraine threaten world
stability, and as our beloved UUSMV suddenly finds itself without a
minister, this is a time of heightened anxiety.  Rev. Vicki Hanjian
is a known quantity for us,  having been a frequent  visitor to our
Sunday pulpit as well as the person who often  is asked to take the
call when a member is faced with trouble or confusion.

Rev. Hanjian’s message, “Order, Disorder, and Reorder” will call
upon her understanding of  Scripture to provide perspective – and
possibly some comfort -with the thought: We have been here before.
There is a pattern.

UUSMV, meanwhile, will use the opportunity to hold a conversation with
itself. Following the service, and a light lunch provided at the usual
after-service social time, Jan Casey, our treasurer, and Kristy Brooks
will lead a discussion. Brainstorming and envisioning will be
encouraged.   There will be information provided about our financial
situation, as well. The pledge campaign will soon be upon us!

Rev. Vicki Hanjian is providing pastoral care to our members and friends.
