KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — On Sunday, Oct. 23, the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County welcomes back the Rev. Esther Wallace with a sermon titled, ““Creating Care Webs.”
Rev. Wallace writes, “We are all emerging from a time of great change into a time of great change. Right now, so few things seem certain — from the future of our planet to the contents of our grocery store shelves. As we adapt to a rapidly shifting world, how do we create structures that sustain and empower us not just as individuals, but as people in community?”
Drawing from the work of disability activists, this week’s service considers the concept of care webs and asks us to boldly imagine what can be possible when we choose to show up for ourselves and for one another.
Esther Wallace works and plays in the realms of meaning-making, sacred space and social justice.
Raised Christian, Wallace became a Unitarian Universalist in 2014, and she has cherished being invited to profound experiences in Buddhist, Taoist, Humanist, Muslim and Pagan communities.
Concurrently with her UU identity, Wallace is in the process of converting to Judaism.
She is a graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry and is very interested in emergent spiritual communities and the intersections of ministry and disability.
The Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County’s in-person services are held at 3810 Main St., Kelseyville at 11 a.m. All are welcome.
COVID masks are recommended but not required if you are vaccinated.
It is the mission of Unitarian Universalists to create a religious community that fosters liberal religious living through worship, study, service and fellowship to make a difference to our lives, our community and our world.
They invite you to join them in fellowship.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — The Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County welcomes back the Rev. Clovice Lewis to the UUCC and UUCLC pulpit on Sunday, Oct. 16, with a sermon entitled "Finding Joy."
This service will be presented over Zoom.
Gathering for service and music begin at 10:50 a.m., with the service starting at 11 a.m.
The Zoom meeting can be accessed here. The password is UUseesea.
The order of service is available here.
Lewis discusses how joy operates to support a life filled with happiness.
He writes, “The words peace and joy are often commingled. They both suffer from the burden of being thought of as unattainable over a long period. But the question is, why does that have to be true? We all understand, at least in an intuitive way, that inner peace is the road upon which joy takes joy rides. Find peace and you will find joy guaranteed, all the time.”
Lewis is a professional cellist and composer who composed his first symphony at the age of 17 and was a professor of computer music at UC Santa Barbara from 1978 to 1986.
He has also been a serial entrepreneur and software designer for the past 30 years.
In addition to music and technology, he has had a life-long passion for aviation and has been a private pilot since 1987.
Lewis received a Master of Divinity degree from the Starr King School for the Ministry in May 2021 and was ordained as a Unitarian Universalist minister in March.
His ministry work emphasizes breaking down racial, class, and ethnic barriers, and preaching the gospel of the madness of human self-extinction.
He is the author of “Yearning for Justice” and “Theological Sightlines” (collections of sermons about race, conscience, justice, theology, current events and human dignity), available on Amazon as Kindle, paperback, and hardback.
His one-act play, “On The Fence” is also available on Amazon as a Kindle only publication.
