Planning Summertime Ministries

I am currently the Contract Minister for the UU Congregation in Waterville, Maine. During the summer months our sanctuary is closed. 

I would welcome the opportunity to visit your congregation during July or August and serve as guest minister in your pulpit.

I look forward to hearing from you about possible dates.
