The coming of the new year is an opportunity release the bitterness, the anger, that keeps us stuck in the past. With this annual burning ritual we will remember the year that’s been, release our grudges into the flames of change, and resolve to act with love and self-care in the new year.
Speaker: Rev. George Grimm-Howell
Rev. George Grimm-Howell joined UUFH in August 2024 as its settled minister. George graduated from the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2022 and recently served the UU Church of Columbia, MO and the UU Fellowship of Jefferson City, MO. He was ordained in St. Louis, MO, in June 2024.
George puts his energy primarily into efforts for building and sustaining a multigenerational, multicultural beloved community that centers love, justice, and healing. George frequently incorporates socially transformative art forms into the worship experience and seeks to create opportunities for encounter and dialogue in the Hendersonville community and beyond.
