Unitarians Welcome New Ministry With Service, Potluck And Concert

Unitarian Church News:

On Sunday Aug. 4, the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos will welcome Rev. Tina DeYoe as its  new Minister Pro Tem, and Terra Hite as Director of Lifespan Religious Education (DLRE).

The service will be led by well-known composer, performer, poet and activist Jim Scott. A potluck will follow, open to the congregation, friends, and any interested visitors, where one can meet and talk with all three.

At 7 p.m. that evening, Scott will offer a concert featuring his new musical and multimedia presentation, “The Year to Save the Earth” along with other songs he has written.

Scott (https://jimscottmusic.com) has brought his contemporary and multicultural music to more than 700 Unitarian Universalist Churches over three decades. Though often filling role of “speaker”, his services are very much musical. He speaks with passion on ecology, justice and peace, and his lyrical poetry and stories are calls to action, full of hope and gentle wit.

Formerly a member of the Paul Winter Consort, Scott was co-composer of their celebrated “Missa Gaia/Earth Mass” and sang their anthem song “Common Ground”. He has toured the world, recorded a number of CDs of original music and published a growing line of choral works.

Both Rev. DeYoe and DLRE Hite are bursting with ideas for the future that is now unfolding.

“The work of being a minister for me is about being in relationship with the people in the church and outside the walls of church and in the wider community,” DeYoe said.

“The opportunity to serve … excites me because it is a place where my love for building community, my passion for social and environmental justice, and my spiritual journey meet,” Hite said.
