UVC, Hannah Kardon, Teaching Pastor, “Restored After National Tragedy” (Nehemiah 8:1-12)

We are not the first faithful people to return to worship together after a long time away - others have done so too, under even harder circumstances, and we can learn from them. 

This morning, Pastor Hannah encourages us to look to the Israelites who returned from exile to rebuild the Temple under Ezra and Nehemiah. How did they return to one another and what did they do? How can we embrace God while moving forward in recovery and care together? .
