We would like to introduce you to Rev. Chris Rothbauer who will present our worship service on Sunday, March 17. Chris identifies as agender, and the pronouns that Chris uses are e/em/eir. The following is Chris’s introduction for us.
Rev. Chris Rothbauer has served congregations in Michigan; Kentucky; and Alberta, Canada. E is on the steering committee of TRUUsT (Transgender Religious Professional UUs Together) and recently completed a Chaplain Residency at University of Louisville Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. E lives in New Albany, Indiana with eir partner, Calvin, a rescue beagle, and a spoiled rotten cat. We were planning a baby shower for Matt and Elaine Emerick for Sunday, March 20 right after the service. But – Charles Kenneth Emerick decided to make his entry to our world early on March 1. We’ll postpone the celebration for a month or so to let the family get acquainted and develop a routine. We’ll keep you posted. They are registered at Amazon and at Target in case you want to give them a gift.
