This will be our last Sunday together, a momentous occasion for all of us. Since its founding, UUBRidge has had only one other minister for one year. Finding and adjusting to new ministries is a common experience for older churches, and as the years pass UUBRidge will learn this skill as well. Unlike times when Russ has left other churches, he will not be going to another church this time but will be retiring from ministry. This is our chance to say farewell to each other. Members of the congregation will have the opportunity to share memories of Russ’ time with us. A luncheon will follow the service.
