Doing what is good has the power to move the heart of God, inviting mercy and blessing. When people turn from wrongdoing and choose righteousness, it can lead to a change in the divine response—transforming judgment into grace. On the other hand, persisting in evil can shift God’s intentions from the good He desires for humanity to allowing the natural consequences of those actions to unfold. Our choices matter, not only for ourselves but in how we experience the intentions of the Divine.

We hope to see you there!

Listening Circles with Pastor Audrey

Listening Circles with Pastor Audrey

What are "Listening Circles?”

As Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 reminds us, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other.” Ministry is not meant to be a solo act; we truly need each other, not just in theory, but in practice.

The Manual on Ministry further reinforces this, highlighting covenant as central to our identity in the United Church of Christ. “The work of ministry and of the Church begins and ends in community. We share both ministry and responsibility for one another, making communication not just optional, but covenantal.

A Listening Circle is a wonderful way to connect with one another outside of Sunday worship. This fellowship time will be an opportunity to share your hopes, concerns and dreams for UCCSV. Your voice will inform and chart our journey into UCCSV’s future. Pastor Audrey is eager to listen to everyone and the best way for me to hear you all is in these small group meetings.  

Please sign up for one listening circle; it is an opportunity for us to connect, share our experiences, and strengthen the bonds of community that make our church so special. We invite everyone to come as they are, bringing their unique perspectives and stories to the table.
