Dear NSUU Members,
I am looking forward to beginning a church year together in August! You are most welcome as guests at my ordination ceremony coming up later this month. Please see the invitation below and RSVP if you would like to attend.
All best,
Caro Barschow
-----------------------------------------------------
I am in awe that this day is nearly here. This ordination ceremony will bring together folks from around New England (and farther afield via Zoom) to affirm my ministry. This will be a celebration of the power of community and the journey of spiritual growth. The UU Nashua choir will sing, a handful of wonderful spiritual leaders will share wisdom and I hope you will sing and witness, too!
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua and The First Parish in Portland, Maine Unitarian-Universalist will ordain Caro Barschow to Unitarian Universalist ministry in a ceremony on Saturday, June 17, 2023 at 3pm ET.
The ceremony will take place at the UU Church of Nashua (58 Lowell St. Nashua, NH 03064) and on Zoom (https://zoom.us/j/606344193).
A reception will take place after the ceremony at the UU Church of Nashua.
Please RSVP to indicate whether you will join via Zoom or in-person.
RELIGIOUS PROFESSIONAL PROCESSION/ATTIRE Religious professionals in Unitarian Universalist and other traditions (ordained and non-ordained) are welcome to process into the sanctuary for the ceremony of ordination. If you’d like to be part of the procession, arrive between 2-2:30p and proceed to the Campbell Chapel.
Religious attire (robes, stoles, etc.) is welcome and encouraged, unless the high temperature is forecast at 82 degrees or above for this day, as the sanctuary is not air conditioned.
ACCESSIBILITY NOTES
The sanctuary and reception area are wheelchair accessible, with wheelchair accessible parking. There is a hearing assistance device system and PA. The church is not air conditioned, so it’s possible the summer temperatures will make it warm that day. Please contact Ruth Cannava at rcannava@botcave.org for additional accessibility requirements.
TRAVELING NOTES
If attending in-person, please allow extra time for parking at our downtown city church. The street address of the church is not the best to navigate via GPS to parking lot locations. Please see below for better addresses.
Free Parking Lot: Shared lot across the street from church, off Canal Street. Shared with the chain Margaritas restaurant. GPS Address: 1 Nashua Dr, Nashua, NH. Entrances from Lowell St. require at minimum 3 steps and navigating inclines.
Accessible Parking Lot and Entrance: Placard parking spaces behind the church (GPS Address: 5 Grove St Nashua, NH) 5 additional non-placard parking spaces are available here, too. Use Grove St. driveway for accessible (no steps) building entrance.
If you have any questions about the ceremony, please contact Ruth Cannava at rcannava@botcave.org.
Warmest regards,
