In Hope, Inhale, Wren Bellavance-Grace, UUA Congregational Life Staff in the New England Region

Each of us has felt overwhelmed at some point, whether by personal hardship or loss, or by the events of the world outside our windows. The words of our old hope sometimes ring true: Hope is hard to find. Let’s consider together the experiences of finding hope in unexpected places. While we are together, Hope lives. 

This sermon is part of the UUA Recorded Sermon Series and is presented by Wren Bellavance, Grace who serves on the UUA New England Regional Congregational Life Staff. 

Wren loves working with lay leaders and religious professionals serving congregations of all sizes across New England. She serves as the New England representative on the national Safer Congregations Team, which curates best practices for safer church communities and responds to misconduct and ethical breaches.

Before joining the New England Region, wren was a religious educator. Through a fellowship granted by the Fahs Collaborative at the Meadville Lombard Theological School, she authored a paper, Full Week Faith, which proposed a new approach to our ministries of faith formation in response to the social, demographic, technological, and spiritual realities of 21st century America.
