Thanks for your recent response to our Congregational Conversations survey. Based on your responses we are ready to launch the “CUC Congregational Conversations Series” which begins March 9, 2024 & will continue through the spring season. Preliminary queries identified topics of priority for congregations & we’re delighted with the enthusiastic response. Please see below for details. While the focus for this series is primarily congregational, all are welcome. We appreciate your RSVP for planning purposes.

CUC Congregational Conversations: Thriving, Surviving, & Sustainability 

80% of survey respondents identified 'Thriving, Surviving, & Sustainability' as an urgent priority for their congregations, so we're offering 3 times to gather for a collaborative conversation on this topic.  (same conversation format - please pick 1) 

The purpose is 3-fold:

1. Connecting Congregations - to build relationships & share concerns, needs, ideas, & inspirations. We are better together!

2. Sharing Resources - we'll bring some & we welcome your contributions. Collections will be assembled & shared with attendees & online. 

3. Inviting Collaboration -congregations working together ... groups sharing tools & resources ... support in challenging times ... so many options! 

We will also be sharing more about the survey results & inviting your input on next steps. 

Please take a moment to fill out this short form:  https://forms.gle/XzJGCcgbXLePQLQn9

It will ask your name / email / congregation/UU community / & which session you plan to attend. If you need to switch sessions, feel free to come to whichever one works. The form is simply to give us a general idea of numbers, but you are welcome to switch.

We look forward to gathering with you soon. Please feel free to share the form link & information above with anyone you think would benefit, & everyone you hope will attend. While the focus for this series is primarily congregational, all are welcome. 

See you soon!
