Sermon delivered by Rev. Brian Chenowith on August 7, 2016. Brian is a lifelong Chicagoan with roots in the South Side. His\\xa0spiritual upbringing was Catholic and Anglican though\\xa0he\\xa0came to Unitarian Universalism in middle school. It was there, in that UU church where he\\xa0spent his\\xa0formative years, that he\\xa0heard the call to ministry most clearly. He\\xa0earned his\\xa0degree in Theology & Religion from Elmhurst College in 2008. From there\\xa0he\\xa0entered seminary in 2011 after a period of discernment and preparation for theological education and graduated from Meadville Lombard in Chicago in 2014. Brian\\xa0served two congregations as a ministerial intern for three years. Two of those years were\\xa0spent at Unity Temple in Oak Park, IL and the remaining year was at First Parish in Concord, MA. Through these two congregations, the real learning in ministry happened. He is currently the minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Lexington, Kentucky.

The theme for August\\xa0is how to take a path of growth.\\xa0To read about our\\xa0theme-based ministry, please visit\\xa0http://www.unitytemple.org/faith-development/soul-connections\\xa0on our website.
