<div dir="ltr">Hi all- So nice to hear from Chris and it's exciting that she knows Carin!<div>I watched the ordination and felt a deep gratitude, not only for our new minister, but for all the UU ministers and lay people who shared during the ordination, who think and speak and sing and share so eloquently and honestly about things that matter. It was such a reprieve from the news of the day.</div><div>What a gift to have Carin with us! It's frustrating that we can't welcome her with hugs and handshakes, in person, in our church (and with one of our amazing potlucks!) </div><div>During her ordination, Carin's mentor reached out to LCUUC asking that we help Carin in leading us. So important. We have a responsibility to share our knowledge and experiences at LCUUC with her, to help her minister in a way that meets our needs and challenges. The ordination left me with a sense that Carin is a very compassionate and skilled minister. We are fortunate that our paths crossed. </div><div>Couldn't be more excited to have Carin with us!</div><div>Welcome Carin!! </div><div>With gratitude, Lynne</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 9, 2020 at 10:56 AM Christina White via Lekooks <<a href="mailto:lekooks@lekook.org">lekooks@lekook.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hi all.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Did anybody else watch Carin’s ordination?

I did grow up there and live there for most of my life, after all. Then it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I know Carin. Not well, but I know her through Stephie and Joel. They lived in Madison for years before moving to CA in 2005. It’s a small world, my friends. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">We are lucky to have her as our new minister.
