Minister Search Updates

March 16, 2025 Dear Congregants, When we embarked on the journey to find a new minister last summer, we carried both hope and realistic expectations. Given the nationwide shortage of UU ministers, our lean budget, and our rural location — we understood that the search would not be easy. Our vision was shaped by everything you shared during the cottage meetings last year — your values, your hopes, and your dreams for the future of UUCV. As a search committee, we became a mini-congregation, committed to setting aside our own biases to act in the best interest of our entire community. We took this responsibility to heart, knowing how much this decision would shape the years ahead. Today, we are beyond thrilled to announce that we have found our next minister. Not only do they embody everything we hoped for, but they also bring even more to the table than we imagined. And as much as we chose them, they chose us. They have chosen UUCV because of who we are and how we live our values. They see this blue dot in a red sea as a place of sanctuary — a beacon of love and safety for marginalized communities and a spiritual home for those seeking truth, together. In the coming months, you will have the opportunity to get to know Rev. Phoenix, and we have no doubt that you will see what we see. It has been an honor to serve in this process and we are filled with profound, belly-deep gratitude for the trust you placed in us to do this work. With love and excitement, YOUR UUCV MINISTER SEARCH TEAM Emily Cappucci (she/her) co-chair Tara Sollman (she/her/they) co-chair Gail Black (she/her) Brent Dickerson (any) Primajoy Ramalingam (she/her)
