August 16, 2009:
The outpouring of love from so many of you in
response to the horrific events that took place in Knoxville breathes
incredible life into your covenant as a member congregation of the Unitarian
Universalist Association of Congregations to offer other congregations your
mutual trust and support. ...On behalf of all the UU congregations in the Knoxville
area, and especially TVUUC and Westside UU Fellowship, who both lost members in
this tragedy, thank you.
Let the spirit of life and love hold
you all through this. For it is our courage, our commitment, our love, and our
acceptance of all people that guides us through even the darkest hour.
And as always, if there is anything your congregation
needs to help you through, please do not hesitate to contact the District
Office. We are there for all of you.
In love,
Annette Marquis,
District Executive, July 28, 2008
