Our Minister

In the Spring of 2016, we called Rev. Abbey Tennis to our congregation.

She is passionate about building multigenerational and multicultural ministries that enliven the mind, grow the heart, engage the body, feed the soul, and transform the world.

You can learn more about Rev. Abbey Tennis on her personal website here.

Welcome!

We Have a Lot to Celebrate on Sunday, June 16th!

Join in the celebration! What are we celebrating? Ta-da, the June 8 marriage of Rev. Abbey Tennis and Kai Lovell! Our CRE Director Shantala Thompson who, after several years of serving on the staff of First Unitarian Church, is moving on! Another inspiring church year and all that our Congregation and Staff contributed to this year!

Let's have an Extra-Special Celebratory Coffee Hour! How about bringing some plated finger foods (sweets, veggies and dip, tea sandwiches, sliced cheese), chilled soda or iced tea to church on Sunday, June 16? Extra tables will be set up in the Parish Room, so please drop off your offering before the service.

Questions or suggestions? You can email Phyllis Belk at phylbelk@gmail.com, or Debby Schultz at debbylschultz@gmail.com,or speak to them today. A basket will be available to collect wedding cards and congratulatory greetings for Abbey and Kai.
