UVC, Emily McGinley- Executive Pastor, “What’s In A Name?” (Gen 32:22-31)

God has been called by thousands of names - from El Roi (the God Who Sees Me) to Mother Bear Who Protects Her Cubs- and everything in between. What we call God matters. It can change how we pray, how we experience God in our lives, and open us up to new parts of God’s very nature. Pastor Emily, alongside UVCers from our South Loop, Hyde Park-Woodlawn, and Edgewater sites, reflect on Jacob’s struggle with God. This struggle was just part of Jacob’s transformation however. Unsure of what is next, Jacob is ready to face whatever is ahead as his full self. As we wrap us this sermon series on the many names of God, we reflect on how God names all of us- “Beloved.” Please join!

 

**We will be posting the full interviews featured in Pastor Emily's sermon in a "Directors Cut Special Addition" series over the next week. Stay tuned!!
