Members of UUCCV posed questions to Rev. Melissa, many of them concerning her feelings about our current deliberations about a Call to Ministry. In the July 26, 2020 service, she answered them! This is the audio of those questions and her answers.

Seekin' the Divine Online

Melissa's song written especially for our April 4th stewardship event -- which ended up being held on Zoom instead of in our building. Like everything else. Sunday's here, it's eleven o'clock -- but we're still in pajamas and fuzzy socks but that's fine -- we're seekin' the divine online. A bulldog barks through the silent meditating -- A young couple "multi-tasks" (starts procreating) -- sublime!  They're seekin' the divine online. Here is the church without the steeple -- "church" is in the bonds of this community of people. Amazing grace ain't in the hymnals, y'see-- grace is in the love we share (and AT&T). Minister reads our sermons in her office filled with plants. Nobody knows she's not wearing pants! It's no crime when you're seekin' the divine online Minister's screen freezes -- she says "Oh, s***!" The people crack up because she didn't mute it. She whines: "I hate seeking the diving online!" Here is the church without the steeple -- "church" is in the bonds of this community of people. Amazing grace ain't in the hymnals, y'see-- it's letting go of "perfect," showing up authentically ... One day we'll be together again, the introverts cringing that we're back to holding hands, But it's not time  so we're seekin' the divine online ... and that's just fine! Yeah, we're seeking  the divine online!   -- Rev. Melissa Mummert, 2020
