Sunday February 19: Gratitude and Transition for Rev. Dr. Don Randall

On February 19, during worship, we celebrate Rev. Dr. Don Randall’s retirement with gratitude for serving UUFA as Affiliated Community Minister for 20 years. Rev. Don has recently retired as a professional counselor and marriage and family therapist. This means he retires as well from service as Affiliated Community Minister. Join in saying thank you in worship and share appreciations with Rev. Don in a conversation and connection reception afterwards.
