A note from Rev. Carolyn Price, Sabbatical Minister and Jim Merrill, Board President
Jim: We want to keep you all informed about the upcoming months while the Rev. Dana Worsnop (Rev. Dana) takes an overdue sabbatical leave. As you probably know, Rev Dana will be away until August 1st, 2023. Happily for us, our long-time Affiliate Minister, the Rev. Carolyn Price (Rev. Carolyn), will be with us through mid-July. Your Board, Rev. Dana, and Rev. Carolyn agreed that leading Sunday services is a priority for UUCV, so Rev. Carolyn will cover this at the equivalent of full time. As this is a 2/3rd time position, Rev. Carolyn will not be able to do everything that Rev. Dana does as a full-time minister.
We want to ensure that you know whom to reach out to for various matters during this time when Rev. Dana is not monitoring church email or phone calls. Please do not attempt to contact Rev. Dana during her time of respite and renewal.
Rev. Carolyn: First of all, it is a joy and an honor to be with you during this time. As Jim said, I will focus on leading worship; also on communicating with staff and key congregational leaders, especially the Board President and the Conveners of the Worship Ministry. You may also find me leading community-building events and/or spiritual growth/adult learning groups; and/or participating in UU ministers’ and denominational meetings and assemblies. In the months ahead, I look forward to interacting with many of you!
Jim and Rev. Carolyn: We want to help you understand whom to go to for help or questions these next months, when the usual way of things is different.
