Also it totally is for me, too! 🙂  I’m not going to lie to you, HoCo readers, I was having some, shall we say, personal issues when I went to meet George and Holly Stone at the Clarksville Commons (TCC) to talk about their community-nurturing, in-it-for-the-long-haul, forward-looking-and-thinking business called Clarksville Commons.

All About UUCC, With Senior Minister Paige Getty

by

Dear HoCo Diary, “Do you know Paige? Everybody loves Paige.” A new friend said these words to us recently. When we concurred that both Robert and I did, indeed, love Paige Getty, Senior Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia (UUCC), our friend noted that she hadn’t even met Paige. She could tell, however, that she was an incredible person. Wait until you hear all about her and her parish! Paige agreed to sit down with me to talk about UUCC and how it fits into the vibrant, varied spiritual life of Howard County. After this, a Paige-and-Colleen-related antic, … Read more
