The Washington VT Unitarian Universalist Congregation (WUUC) invites you to join us this summer on Sundays at 10:00 am. All are welcome!
This Sunday, July 28th, we welcome back Rev. Simon Ruth de Voil whose topic will be "The Holy Fool." Like us, Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) lived in a polarized and tumultuous time. Let's explore how St Francis operated from a generous framework of compassion, even in an era of tumult and rampant greed, to see how his example can help us as we face the difficulties of climate chaos and an explosively divisive political sphere.
Rev. Simon Ruth de Voil is an ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister, trained to be a sacred presence outside the conventions of traditional religion. As a sacred musician, spiritual mentor and worship leader he incorporates chant, ritual, storytelling and mindful practice to create a space for profound connection and sacred witness. Simon provides music for worship, ceremony, and prayer in a wide variety of churches and non-religious spiritual communities. He particularly loves to create music for meditation, healing services, and rites of passage. Simon is also an experienced workshop and retreat leader, drawing on 15 years of study, training, and practice that grew from his time living and working in Iona Abbey. Although influenced by many traditions, Simon's spiritual path and teaching is deeply rooted in Celtic Christianity, the wisdom of the earth, and in the Scottish land where he's spent most of his life.
Please join in on conversation, coffee, tea and cookies afterward the service.
We are located at 2938 VT Route 110 in the village of Washington, Vermont.
