Ask More, A Question Service

August 1, 2021 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Online Only

Today’s Topic:

We will join our sibling congregation online in Appleton, Wisconsin today! Rev. Dena has long enjoyed her colleague and friend Rev. Leah’s facebook posts featuring inspiring, hilarious, thoughtful and insightful daily questions from her children. This well-loved annual service at the Fox Valley UU Fellowship comes from some life instructions by poet Naomi Shihab Nye. Join us for her words, as well as some choice selections of the Ongiri children’s everyday questions. The sermon will be Rev. Leah’s extemporaneous responses to as many of our collective questions as time allows. That means it’s up to you! What have you been wondering about?

Reverend Leah Ongiri has served the Fox Valley UU Fellowship since 2012. She grew up in Portland, Oregon in a Jewish and Unitarian Universalist family. She has been a child, member, lay leader, staff member, and/or minister at UU congregations in Oregon, Washington, California, New Jersey, and Florida. She earned her Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree from Starr King School for the Ministry, a UU graduate theological school in California.

Leah co-edited the Skinner House book Jewish Voices in Unitarian Universalism and is a past president of UUs for Jewish Awareness. Leah and her spouse Amy have four children. She oversees membership and outreach efforts, including leadership development.
