Rev. Erin J. Walter will present

“Dance in the Desert, Bring Your Tambourine”

With Donna Zimmerman as Worship Leader

The new year starts with renewed energy and purpose, even in a pandemic. Drawing upon poetry from Rainer Maria Rilke, as well spiritual practice and her own original music, Unitarian Universalist Rev. Erin Walter will reflect on how to foster joy and hope in the midst of our personal and collective struggles.
