Hello A2U2 community! Our time together has begun and I am settling in and getting to know who’s who and what’s what. You can call me Rev. Tara (pronounced TAH-rah) and use she/her or they/them pronouns. The other morning as I settled in the office, I looked out the window and was greeted by a mama deer and two beautiful, white-spotted fawns. They stayed close and strolled the grounds throughout the morning; it was a blessing to witness. Where have you encountered beauty this week? Or perhaps an unexpected welcome?

I look forward to seeing some of you at worship on Sunday! As it will take me some time to learn names and match them with faces, please try to remember to wear your nametag while at church. It will expedite the process tremendously. If you aren’t able to make it to worship but would like to connect, please reach out! I have availability for some in-person and Zoom meetings on Mondays and Tuesdays in August. You can send me an email at a2u2minister@gmail.com.

Don’t be a stranger! You are why I am here.

In faith, Rev. Tara
