With election results still very much on our minds and hearts, let’s reflect together on how we will navigate the coming weeks, months, and years. It is more important than ever that we live out our UU values. These words by Grantland Rice, memorized in childhood, keep coming to mind: “When the one great scorer comes to mark against our names, they’ll write not that we won or lost but how we played the game.” (Rev. Roberta updated the pronouns!)

RE classes will meet as usual. Childcare for children 4 and under will be available.

You can watch this service live on YouTube or join us in person.

Rev. Roberta Finkelstein is a life-long Unitarian Universalist. She was raised in the Community Church of New York where she was in the “Cradle Roll” as an infant and remained active through high school. Her early UU experiences taught her that the church could and should be a place of prophetic witness, courage, and transformation. Ministry is a second career for Rev. Roberta. She was a nurse and certified nurse-midwife. She has a BSN from Binghamton University and her MSN from Georgetown University. Her midwifery practice focused on high-risk pregnant adolescents in Washington, D.C.

She is an Accredited Interim Minister, having served interim congregations in Frederick, MD, Orlando, FL, Ridgewood, NJ, Burlington, VT, Westport, CT, Wilmington, DE, Jacksonville, FL, and Clearwater, FL. Rev. Finkelstein is now mostly retired.
