Join us on Sunday, March 30th, for a joyful celebration of Rev. Joe’s “Ten Years in the Pulpit”!

 

This special service honors a decade of Rev. Joe’s inspiring leadership, spirited sermons, and heartfelt music. In true UU Saratoga spirit, the Worship Team, Choir, Hospitality Team,
and Board of Trustees are coming together to create a joyful and memorable morning. This is an opportunity to honor Rev. Joe’s decade of service and the many ways he has enriched both our
congregation and the wider community.

“When I think about Rev. Joe and his time with us, what stands out most is the way his services have always been both unique and thought-provoking,” said Tena Bunnell, UU Saratoga President. “He has consistently reminded us of our responsibility to support those who are disenfranchised in our community—those whose voices too often go unheard. His deep devotion to the inherent worth and equality of every individual has been unwavering. Because of his leadership and compassion, I believe we’ve gained a new awareness of the people around us, especially those on the margins. And I think they know we’re here for them—because of him.”

Our celebration will include:
 Reflections and tributes from members of our community
 Special music prepared by the choir
 A chance to share stories and gratitude

After the service, we invite you to stay for a festive reception, hosted by our Hospitality Team.
