Farewell Service to Matthew & Potluck Sunday - June 30th | 10:00 AM

Sunday, June 30th we will be sharing the last Sunday with our intern Matthew Villarreal at UUCT. Come to hear his message and then stay afterwards for a potluck lunch as we send him out into the world. Bring a dish to share. 

The service begins at 10am. It will be shared on our YouTube channel for those who cannot be there in person.

Dear Matthew, 


Your presence has been a gift, and while we will miss you dearly, we are excited for the next chapter of your journey. May the lessons you've learned here continue to guide you, and may you always carry the warmth of our appreciation wherever life takes you. Thank you for sharing your talents with us and for being an inspiring part of our UU family. Farewell, Matthew, and best wishes for all that lies ahead.

A message from Matthew


"I am grateful to the congregation for all the support, encouragement, and feedback offered throughout the year. As for my future plans, I will be interviewing with the Ministerial Fellowship Committee from December 5-7 and hope to become an ordained parish minister afterwards. For the final service, the purpose of the service is for the congregation and I to say farewell to each other."
