Lessons by Leddy Hammock (Page 14)

Our Senior Minister, since her graduation from Meadville Lombard Theological Seminary, is formally known as The Reverend Dr. Leddy Hammock, but here at UCC she’s just known as ” Leddy”!

Mother of three sons (Steve, Dieter, and Levi), Leddy is “Granny” to four (Raina, Miles, Madeline, and Drake). Her spiritual partner is her husband of nearly thirty years, Russ (L. Russell Hammock, Jr.), Director of Operations here at Unity. (He’s usually up in the Tech Loft, running sound, but sometimes you’ll see him behind the drum kit for our special music.)

An engaging speaker, Leddy is an open book. On Sundays she’s always teaching (never preaching), and she lets us know that she is working through “life stuff” with us. Many times we hear her listeners say, “She was speaking right to me.” Leddy is also an author who has published books, articles, poems, songs, and meditations. (You can find her Bible based “Twelve Women of the Chalice” materials in our Bookstore.)

Forty years of active ministry (and proud to say that 37 of them have been at UCC) has given Leddy the chance to share a lot of smiles & hugs, greet many people on the spiritual path, make a few mistakes, learn many lessons, and grow in faith along with her loving congregation.

She likes to say, “We are all here for one purpose: to know and express God as God has never been known or shown before!”

When you visit UCC on a Sunday morning, please make sure to greet Leddy after the service at the front of the Sanctuary. She’s waiting for you and excited to meet you!
