Find Meaning

Raised Catholic, Susan Virnig recognizes the importance of ritual. “Ritual has been defined as containing things that are always the same, and things that are always new and fresh, and it speaks to a deep need in our beings,” she explains. Susan chooses the reading and music for services when she lay leads with guest speakers. She finds the act of reading and singing aloud brings the meaning of the words and lyrics alive. Although she founded and still co-coordinates the Monday night Buddhist meditation group, Susan asserts, “I’m UU to the core! Buddhism is one of our many sources, just one more way to find meaning and wisdom in our lives.”
