Rev. Fran Dearman, Consulting Minister serving TUUC, was born and raised on Vancouver Island, and continues to make her permanent residence at her family home in Victoria, British Columbia. After a first career in merchant shipping, mostly on the Great Lakes, paralleled with service in Canada's Naval Reserve, Fran returned to the University of Victoria to study Classics.
Having completed an Masters degree in Greek and Latin literature, Fran proceeded to the Vancouver School of Theology for a Masters of Divinity, and was ordained in the Unitarian Universalist tradition at her home church, the First Unitarian Church of Victoria, where her family has participated since 1958. Fran served five years settled ministry with the Anchorage Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, then returned to Canada to do Interim Ministry at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg and at the Unitarian Church of Calgary.
A west-coaster to her bones, Fran is very much looking forward to re-visiting Tacoma and working with the Tahoma UU Congregation this coming year.

If you care to, join us on Monday evenings for meditation in the vipassana tradition.
We typically sit or walk in meditation for 30 minutes, listen to a recorded dharma talk, and
then have a short discussion in the spirit of awareness. No previous experience or
preparation is necessary. All are welcome.
Chalice Circle Sign-Ups
Chalice Circles were a huge success
last year. From October through June, people
met in small groups to discuss various
topics with each other and to get to know
one another. This is a way for newcomers
to meet people and for long time church
members to minister to newcomers. If you
have already signed up with your facilitator
you don’t need to do anything. Susie will
assign you to a new group and notify you
when you will meet and who your facilitator
will be.
If you haven’t done so already and you
want to join Chalice Circles, this is a perfect
time to sign up! All you have to do is email
Susie at smaharry@hotmail.com and let her
know what night of the week you prefer to
meet. We will be meeting once per month
from September 2010 through June 2011.
