I’ve Got That Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Heart!

I’ve Got That Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Heart!
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
June 4, 2023
Rev. Kevin Tarsa

In the spirit of the Cider Sunday sharing circle that begins the year, and in the spirit of show-and-tell that helps us know each other, we’ll sit down with Rev. Kevin just as we return from sabbatical/renewal leave, to celebrate and to share what brings us joy and what delights us, to the tender good of our hearts. As we do, we’ll honor why this matters.
