A sermon by the Rev. Peter Friedrichs, read by Deb Myrbo
This morning, we’ll share a sermon about the power of awe and wonder. Rev. Peter Friedrichs was ordained to the Unitarian Universalist ministry in 2006 and called to serve the UU Church of Delaware County in Media, Pennsylvania that same year. After 16 years of service to UUCDC, he will be retiring in June. In addition to his ministry, Peter is a clergy coach and an author whose first novel, And the Stars Kept Watch, was published last year. It can be purchased through the UUA’s bookstore and all the usual retail outlets. He hopes to continue both his writing and his coaching after he retires from active congregational ministry.
Share the Plate
Our Share the Plate recipient this week is the Catfish River 4H Club, which includes four Reeb youth. The funds will be used to purchase trees to plant at Cam Rock County Park as part of an erosion control project. The more they raise the more trees they can plant!
