We are pleased to announce the new Scribe of the Ministerial Conference at Berry Street…
Dear colleagues, ’tis the season of so much. May you know deep in your heart that the community of UUMA members is able to hold your settled, emerging, affirmed, and tired ministries in care.
This is why I am a member of the UUMA. In those moments of struggle, I know that I have colleagues surrounding me. People with whom I can share my burdens and help bring me back to my call. Ministry can be challenging. We need one another to sustain this work.
And I wonder, what are the songs that comfort and inspire you today? What tunes accompany your memories at the time of your formation? Let’s listen together and sing out praises for the journey.
There are only 168 hours in a week. I often have to remind myself of that. It seems like a lot of time. I feel like I should be able to do so much with 168 hours and yet it always feels like there’s just not enough time to do all the things.

As war rages and fear and suffering abound and all of our hearts break, we honor you colleagues for your commitment to bring more love into our world. At times like this it is so easy to feel overwhelmed and inadequate. And, still, we know that you are out there finding a way to listen carefully, accompany faithfully, invite people into sacred space, work for justice and speak up for the values we share. Please, do what you must to tend your own spirit. Reach out for support if you need. Pace yourself and be assured that your ministry makes a difference.
As we navigate a complex world, may these questions help us reflect more deeply on the situations we find ourselves in. And may we emerge with more clarity and understanding to engage whatever is next.
One of the beautiful things about the UUMA is that we make it together. We take turns giving and receiving, volunteering and participating, holding space and being held. Thank you for being part of this covenanted collegial community. We appreciate you and are so grateful to be together in ministry with you.
