by the WUU Sabbatical team
The WUU Sabbatical team continues preparing for Rev. Laura’s four-month sabbatical later this summer. Our focus now is on providing for Sunday services by a variety of guest ministers and speakers. Several area UU ministers have been invited, including Rev. Viola Abbitt from Coastal Virginia UU in Virginia Beach, Rev. Andrew Millard from the Peninsula UU Fellowship (a familiar guest at WUU), and Rev. Doug McCusker from the Fredericksburg congregation. We are in contact with other regional UU ministers as well as other religious professionals and community speakers who will provide a variety of Sunday services for our congregation.
Both Nicki Peet and Janna Roche will conduct worship services—and have agreed to serve as our emergency ministers, available for such rite-of-passage services as child dedications, weddings, and memorial services.
WUUs will receive a sabbatical pamphlet in July with information about Rev. Laura’s sabbatical and plans, a list of all Sunday service ministers and speakers, information about caring and emergencies, contact names and phone numbers, and more.
As a reminder, Rev. Laura will be away from WUU on her sabbatical from Aug. 1 through November.
If you have questions, comments, or contributions in any way, please contact the sabbatical team at sabbatical@wuu.org.
