Rev. Kerri Parker was not be able to join us today as scheduled, so the land acknowledgment-focused service and workshop will be held at a later date.
Rev. Gayle Tucker joined us instead. Her reflection is based on Isaiah, chapter 65, verses 17-25, New Revised Standard Updated Edition.

She served as Pastor of the Congregational Church of Jefferson Park UCC, in Chicago from February 2010 to April 2021, and as Sabbatical Supply Pastor at Plymouth UCC in Madison during the summers of 2021 and 2022. She has an MDiv from United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and an BA in Music Education from Luther College. She is happy to be home in southern Wisconsin with her three dogs.
