Welcome Rev. Emily Webb and Rev. Marcus Liefert
 
Rev. Kaaren and the Transition Team are thrilled to formally announce an addition to our ministerial team in the coming year. Rev. Emily Webb and Rev. Marcus Liefert will be joining us this August at both First Unitarian and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Canandaigua. Rev. Emily and Rev. Marcus are outstanding new, young voices in the UUA, fresh to the ministry and full of exciting ideas and perspectives that will be an excellent compliment to Rev. David Blanchard. Their project, Beloved Cafe, was featured in the UUWorld
 
The two are engaged to be married in June, and will take on their full-time position (shared between the two), giving 2/3 of their time to First Unitarian and 1/3 of their time to UUCC, as Rev. Scott Tayler did. Rev. Emily brings a strong background in community building and stewardship, while Rev. Marcus is passionate about Religious Education, working with young adults, and leadership development. Both will be an excellent asset to our blooming Social Justice ministries at both churches. We look forward to welcoming them in August, and to meeting with them in April, when they come to visit us and share in worship from April 11-13.
