Our next summer worship service was led by invited guest MALT’s Kevin Fox fand acilitated by Susie Davis Patterson. Drawing on experiences from Peace Corps, a career in international development with USAID, and now local land conservation at MALT, Kevin reflects on how service and community have shaped his understanding of what it means to live our values. We share our offering plate with Mountain Unitarian Univeralists, our newest UU congregation located in Oakhurst CA.
