Richard Venus. Richard and his wife Marcia epitomized our collective perspective that it is better to have questions that can&#8217;t be answered than answers that can&#8217;t be questioned. His book, <em><strong>Every Place is Holy Ground<\/strong><\/em>,  influenced our understanding of what it means to be a beloved community. We urge all visitors to the website to view his last sermon to us in April 2023, as well as our recent tribute service. Richard is a gift we would like to share with you. And we invite you to participate in our services, focused both on spiritual journeys and social justice. As UUs, Love is our Doctrine and Service is Our Prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-style-section-1 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow is-style-section-1--1\" style=\"flex-basis:33.34%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"991\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gnhuu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/peace-dove-1024x991.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gnhuu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/peace-dove-1024x991.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gnhuu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/peace-dove-300x290.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gnhuu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/peace-dove-768x743.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gnhuu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/peace-dove-1536x1486.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gnhuu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/peace-dove.png 1979w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Service with Message from Rev.
