UUA Nominating Committee

For many of us, 2025 felt like the world — and often our lives — were on fire. 🔥

As we enter a new year, we hold this truth from Sara Eileen LaWall - that from fear, doubt, and hate, we rise with courage, hope, wonder, and love. 💛✨

Out of the flames, we rise and meet 2026 together. 🌅✨

#2026

We join in thanks ~

The calling to serve in the shared ministry of our covenantal faith is uniquely challenging and rewarding. I am grateful to all of my clergy colleagues for the many ways they continue to show up for our shared Unitarian Universalist values, for love, and for the common good.

Ministry is carried out in diverse settings by many courageous and caring beloveds. In this month when denominations recognize the contributions of ordained religious leaders, I further extend blessings and appreciation to all of the religious educators, lay chaplains, administrators, musicians, lay leaders, community ministers, membership professionals, youth leaders, mentors, and caregivers whose ministries hold us all in these difficult times. Your ministries matter and are deeply appreciated.

Congratulations to all our elected UUA volunteers! Thank you for your willingness to serve!
