Revisiting our Mission, Values, and Ends

Courage and Wonder: Envisioning Our Future Together
Guided Workshops at First UU

What are they?
Guided discussions to focus on the future goals of our church. In each workshop, we’ll talk about courage and wonder in our lives and how we want to use those qualities in our future. We’ll tell stories and share wishes for the future. We’ll consider what future we could build on our church’s strengths together.

Why do this?
Healthy congregations systematically and regularly renew their promises together. Since doing this seven years ago, 350 new members have joined the church—and now the voices of new and long-time members need to be heard. It’s an opportunity to participate in the life of the congregation in a deep and meaningful way and to connect with fellow congregants in fun and energizing workshop.

Who should attend?
You should! However you’re connected with the church, however long you’ve been here, we want to hear from you. We need a diversity of voices and visions.

When and where?
Please choose one of the following times and sign up with the simple form below. All workshops will be held at the church, childcare and food will be provided.
