Dear Rev. Paul & UUCP Community 

Thank you so much for the kind words and wonderful welcome. I couldn't be more grateful for this opportunity to work with you and join the UUCP family. 

2020 is a year like none we’ve experienced. Though it's been a time of much difficulty and challenge, it's an opportunity for change that’s centuries overdue. I couldn't think of a better time to be part of a liberal religious community whose focus is deeply in bedded in social justice and compassion. I know there's much work ahead of us, but together I think we could do great things. 
May it be so! 

With love and Blessings,
Rev. Sonia

Rev. Sonia Ketchian  
InterSpiritual Minister/Love Activist

But in doing so, I believe it opened up an opportunity for us not only to remain together as a congregation during this crisis through Zoom services and discussions, but also to grow our congregation.Consider how many people who might otherwise not have visited us are now able to join us in our Sunday Zoom services and various discussions.
> Sonia brings her warmth, her love, her talents, and her vision to our congregation, and I'm looking forward, as I know you all are, to collaborating with her as we navigate these uncharted waters and grow our congregation.
> If you haven't already, please send her a warm welcome and your congratulations.
