On June 11, 2023, UUSM's Music Director, Joel Chapman, said his goodbyes to UUSM. He's leaving for new adventures and we could not be happier for him. This is the farewell homily he shared with the congregation, interspersed with music from Joel and the choir. The sound quality is not great since it's from a congregant's cell phone, but I hope you're more interested in the words than the noise.
