This morning, the Rev. Wayne Arnason joins us again, saying, “Even on Zoom, the opportunity to share in worship with the Starr King Church community feels like a homecoming. In the fifty years since the congregation ordained me on October 3, 1976, I’ve had many homes, and many ministries in Unitarian Universalism. However, the place that first recognized me as a minister will always feel like a home church for me. Come catch up with me and talk about what ‘church home’ means to us.”
