“Jeffry, I appreciated your thoughtfully orchestrated sermon and the range of topics you framed.  You touched an important and timely issue on dealing with stress during these pandemic times, and we are grateful for the three practical ideas you shared.  I especially appreciated the ‘Body Blessing’ you taught to us. We hope to have you back to give more sermons in the future.”

Leticia Smith, Service Coordinator, Groveland Unitarian

“An inspiring, delightful and unique message for those seeking deeper meaning during the holiday season.”

Rev. Patricia Guthmann Haresch

“Jeffry was recently our guest speaker at Dakota Unitarian Universalist Church. His presentation was informative, well researched, but also quite engaging, thoughtful, heartfelt and included personal experience and humor.  It was very well received and we look forward to having him back again.”

Chuck McKown, DUUC Program Chair

“Jeffry said ‘Yes’ to an invite to preach on less than a month’s notice.  He did a lot of research and shared much of what he learned with us.  He did a good job of connecting his topic at hand (“Hanukah”) with the larger context of December holidays and holy days.  He has a lovely gift with words and made good use of a repeated question to focus our attention.  He was also quite patient with a member of our congregation who differed with Jeffry’s interpretations.  I have reason to believe that Jeffry’s patience led to a valuable insight that ‘different’ does not equal ‘wrong’.  What a splendid gift! You have a gift for preaching, Jeffry.”

Rev. Ted Tollefson, River Falls UU Society
