Worship Service: Moving From Empathy to Compassion

Moving From Empathy to Compassion

There is much pain and suffering in our community, our city, our county and the world. While our empathy provides awareness, it is our compassion that drives us to take the positive actions necessary to alleviate it. Learning how to use our time, talent and treasure to best effect allows us to make a sustainable and rewarding impact over our lifetime. Guy will speak on how positive action springing from our compassion is the magic ingredient that underlies our UU principles and drives our Social Justice activities.

Speaker Bio: Guy is an engineer by education, a pragmatic idealist by temperament, a husband, father, retired public servant, resident of Ottawa since 1989, and a part of the Ottawa UU community since 2004, where he has volunteered as a sexuality educator, youth advisor, worship associate, and a member of the FirstU board of directors. Guy has served as a UU Lay Chaplain since May 2022.

Speaker: Guy Belleperche

Service Leader: Katie Lunn
