Unitarian Universalist Church in Reston Appoints New Minister
Rev. Dr. Debra W. Haffner accepted the congregation’s call to be the new settled minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Reston (UUCR). Currently, a minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Westport, Conn., Rev. Haffner and her husband look forward to becoming part of the Reston community this summer.
Rev. Haffner entered ministry following a career in public health that included earning a Master’s of Public Health from Yale University, several years with the U.S. Public Health Service, and serving as director of Community Services and Public Relations at Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C.
“UUCR is excited to have Rev. Haffner as our minister,” said Barbara LaRock, president of the UUCR governing board. “Founded in 1970, UUCR, originally called the Reston Community Church, has a rich heritage as a progressive, vibrant, and active congregation that serves the spiritual and intellectual needs of the community. Our church supports each member in his or her personal religious journey. We strive to be a spiritual community where both hearts and minds are encouraged to grow, question, discover, and learn and invite newcomers to share their religious journey with us.”
Worship services are Sundays at 10 a.m., at 1625 Wiehle Ave. in Reston. To learn more about UUCR, its programs, events and activities, please visit http://www.uureston.org/.
