“Every Card in the Deck: Our Stories, Our Power, Our Love”

Livestreamed  at 10:30 am

In a moment when so many of us are carrying grief, anger, fear, and questions about what power we truly hold in this world, Rev. Tasha Brownfield invites us into a shared, contemplative Tarot practice as a divine story exchange. Rooted in Unitarian Universalist values of transformation, pluralism, and interdependence, this service explores what is on our hearts and how our individual stories meet the story of this congregation, the Unitarian Universalist Association, and the wider world. Together, we will reflect through art, story, and presence on the ways love and collective care shape our becoming, and on the deep knowing that emerges when we witness one another with courage and curiosity.

Rev. Tasha Brownfield (she/they/he) is the senior minister of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Smithton, Pennsylvania. They also serve as the Outpatient Oncology Chaplain at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and a part-time professor of Religious Studies and Philosophy at Seton Hill University. Grounded in Unitarian Universalist theology and pantheism, their ministry centers community, justice-rooted advocacy, and the amplification of marginalized voices.

Rev. Tasha’s Unitarian Universalist ministry also extends into service of the queer community through performing as their drag king persona, Rev. Morningstar. This performance ministry is rooted in Unitarian Universalist values of transformation, justice, and equity. Through performance, storytelling, and public ritual, he creates accessible and liberatory spiritual spaces, challenges oppressive systems, and invites communities to encounter one another and the sacred, with courage, imagination, and love.
