SUMMARY:"The Gooeyness of Change" | Guest Pulpit at Cherry Hill
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Charles Loflin\, Executive Director\, and Laura Kushner\, Ministerial Intern\, will be guests in the pulpit at Unitarian Universalist Church in Cherry Hill on February 12th! \n\nThe Gooeyness of Change\nFebruary 12\, 2023 at 10:15 AM\nIn-Person and on Zoom\n\n\nKaren Hering in her book Trusting Change describes the transformative process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly as living “through a time of goo.” For many that is an apt description for what feels like the times in which we live—an in-between space when familiar ways are dissolving (or already long gone) but where the new ways have not yet quite taken shape. Even when experiencing change we value\, the process can feel overwhelming. How can we lean into the adaptive challenges we face while trusting change and all its “gooeyness?” \nhttps://uuma.zoom.us/j/97631372315?pwd=azFneTc1aVQ5MUNTV3dXUWlXNU5tQT09 \nMeeting ID: 976 3137 2315\, Passcode: 783211\, By Phone: 1-646-876-9923
