UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST FELLOWSHIP OF FREDERICKSBURG

What's New
Immediate Past Interim Minister
Rev. Jennie Barrington
June 23, 2010

Dear Members and Friends,

As I undertake my move to my next interim ministry, I want to thank you so very much for all your kind
wishes, and for all the gifts, cards, e-mails, and hugs!  You have been wonderfully gracious about our
parting.  That speaks so well of you, and it means the world to me.

I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to serve as your Interim Minister this past year.  I’ve
been able to stretch myself professionally, I’ve driven all over the gorgeous Commonwealth of
Virginia, and I’ve come to know and love you, the members, friends, and families of UUFF.  On August
1st, I will begin serving as the Interim Minister of the UU Congregation of Fort Wayne, Indiana, a two-
year position.  Between now and then I will be packing, changing over the magazine subscriptions,
etc., and wrapping up my ministry and my residence in Fredericksburg.

The Board and the Ad Hoc Search Committee are moving forward with plans for professional
ministerial services after I am done.  If you have questions or feedback about those plans, please
contact incoming Board President Bill Brooks.

I will continue to hold you all in my heart; I will hope and pray for your happiness and wellness; I will
always believe in your dream of your new building on your beautiful land where you will be able to
gather all together in your own Fellowship home.  When your building is completed, I’m sure there
will be a ceremony.  Please invite me back for that.  I will look forward to that happy triumphant day.

I’ll close with the word that you had embroidered on the beautiful tote bag you gave me, as I will
always remember you,

“Affectionately,”

Rev. Jennie

Immediate Past Interim Minister
Welcome Rev. Walter R. Braman
At the recommendation of the Consulting Minister Search Committee, the
Board of Trustees has hired Rev. Walter R. Braman to serve as a half-time
minister for the UUFF during the coming year.  More than a decade ago, Rev.
Braman served the Fellowship as an interim minister, at which time he
became so enamored with the Fredericksburg area that he continued to
reside here.  When approached about serving the UUFF again, Rev.
Braman, who has been retired for a few years, was most enthusiastic about
the opportunity.  He will begin leading two Sunday services a month in
September.  Please take the time to introduce yourself to Rev. Braman and
give him a big UUFF welcome.
