The Game of Life August 13, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.Onlineand in-person Rev. Monica Kling-Garcia
Since ancient human history, board games have been a way of entertaining ourselves and bringing people together. From chess to “Monopoly,” these games are not only rich with strategy and memories – but also lessons for how to be in community during difficult times. Join UU hospital chaplain (and board game enthusiast) Rev. Monica Kling-Garcia as they share the wisdom and lessons found in these games, and what we can learn from them about being a covenantal community.
Rev. Monica Kling-Garcia (they/them) currently serves as the Lead Staff Chaplain and Palliative Care chaplain at UnityPoint-Meriter Hospital in Madison. As a chaplain, Rev. Monica’s theology is one which emphasizes relationships and storytelling with their patients. When not in the hospital, you can find Rev. Monica enjoying a good movie or video game with their husband Logan and energetic cat Yen.
