Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
“
Speaker: Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu
By Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA member
Each year, we invite members and visitors to join us online for the UU General Assembly Sunday Worship service — a powerful communal experience shared by Unitarian Universalists across North America and beyond.
This year’s service will take place on Sunday, June 21, at 9:00 a.m. SMA time live from Nashville, Tennessee. It is the largest annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists in worship, bringing together voices, music, reflection, and shared commitment from across our wider faith community.
Even from a distance, this service offers a meaningful opportunity to feel connected to something larger than our own congregation, and to be reminded of the breadth, beauty, and vitality of Unitarian Universalism.
This year’s Sunday Morning Worship will be led by the Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu, minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene, Oregon. Born in Seoul and raised in Ohio, Rev. Ryu found Unitarian Universalism as a young adult in Baltimore and was drawn to a faith that honors both the tough mind and the tender heart.
Ordained in 2006, Rev. Ryu has served in parish ministry, denominational leadership, and healthcare chaplaincy, including specialized oncology care. After the isolation and disruption of the pandemic, she felt called back to parish ministry and to the rhythms of multigenerational community life.
This year, as she celebrates the 20th anniversary of her ordination, Rev. Ryu brings a steady conviction that our liberal faith, practiced with honesty and love, changes lives for the good.
A recording of the service will also be available on YouTube; the link will be shared in our weekly newsletter.
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith centered on shared values for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We gather not around a belief in divinity, but around community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music within the interconnected web of existence.
