When life feels overwhelming—through personal hardship, loss, or troubling events in the wider world—hope can be hard to find. Yet it often appears in unexpected places: in connection, shared experience, and the simple act of gathering together.
Professional religious educator and esteemed lay speaker Wren Bellavance-Grace will invite us to reflect on where hope can be found and sustained. While we are together, hope lives.
Joining us via video, Ms. Bellavance-Grace is a member of the New England Region Congregational Life staff, where she works with lay leaders and religious professionals serving UU congregations of all sizes. Wren also represents the region on the UUA’s national Safer Congregations Team, which helps congregations prevent and respond appropriately to misconduct, harassment, abuse, ethical breaches, and other serious safety concerns. Wren makes her home in Northampton, and is parent to adult children and several grandchildren.
As a special guest to our Fellowship, she will be hosted on Zoom by our own Rev. Tom Rosiello who will be assisted by Sofia Cervantes, our new Membership Development Coordinator.
