As the COVID-19 metrics in Dane County continue to keep JRUUC at Level 4 of our Strategic Plan, we may wonder if our already tired spirits can handle more isolation and stress. This morning, we’ll ground ourselves in our faith, and turn to each other for support and inspiration. Rev. Karen will invite you all to share the stories and practices that keep you going.
