Rev. Carmen Emerson presents

“Life Before Death” 

With Claudia Marshall as Worship Leader

As a UU chaplain serving a community hospital near the Florida-Georgia line, Rev. Carmen Emerson reflects on what a pandemic can teach us about life before death and how preparing for one’s inevitable mortality is a gesture of gratitude for a life well-lived. It is a profound act of kindness towards those we love best.
