Title: Sunday Service: Re-membering

Description: \”Re-membering\” Gail Forsyth-Vail, guest speaker The early Christians believed that Paradise was something to be enjoyed in our own lifetimes, if we would but learn to perceive it. We are living right now in an anxious, fragmented time, one where trouble seems all around. Easter is the perfect time to affirm that we are, in fact, members one of another, and that we can help each other to discover and to affirm that ever-presentpossibility of transformation and renewal in our own lives and in our own time.

Gail Forsyth-Vail is a Credentialed Religious Educator, Master’s Level, who has been Adult Programs Director at the Unitarian Universalist Association since November, following 22 years of service as Director of Religious Education at the Universalist First Parish Unitarian Church of Haverhill and at the North Parish. Gail was the 2007 Recipient of the Angus MacLean Award for Excellence in Religious Education and is the author of Stories in Faith: Exploring Our Unitarian Universalist Principles and Sources through Wisdom Tales. Gail and her husband Steve were married at UUCiA back in 1978. They are the parents of three young adult Unitarian Universalists-Stephanie, Heather, and Owen.
