When You Are a Bridge

Mar. 22, 2020 Patrice Gaines

Service suspended due to Coronavirus Pandemic.

One day while questioning the Divine that she calls “God,” Patrice heard a voice tell her, “Patrice, you are a bridge.” It was part of the answer she was seeking at the time. She didn’t know exactly what it meant to be a bridge, yet she vowed to trust life would make it clear. In this sermon, she explains how the definition unfolded and encourages us all to let go of the need to know–and to accept the gifts of mystery.

This is a place where I can always find big smiles, warm hugs, and stimulating conversations. It is easy to get involved and quickly become part of the group.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
