The challenges of change are many. We are called to be imaginative and persevering, to discern what to hold onto and what to let go. This is so both in our personal lives and in the life of a faith community. The Rev. Bets Wienecke, Pacific Southwest District?s Ministerial Settlement Representative, will share one of her favorite stories about adventuring into the unknown and outline the process of searching for and finding a new settled minister. Rev. Wienecke is Minister Emerita of the Live Oa k UU Congregation of Goleta, CA and consults with UU congregations in this district in the ministerial search process. A graduate of UCSB, she holds an M.A. in counseling from Cal State Northridge and an M.Div. from Claremont Theological School.
