Thank You for Your Participation in Association Sunday 2009

The theme of our third Association Sunday was Growing Our Diversity and was celebrated on October 4, 2009, in over 500 congregations. Read Association Sunday sermons that took place all across the country this year. Many congregations continue to hold Association Sunday sermons at their convenience.

Over 1,000 Unitarian Universalists (UUs) shared their opinions on what projects should be funded by Association Sunday 2009 through our electronic survey. Using this collaborative feedback, the programs which your generous contributions will benefit have been selected. The following initiatives represent the top choices:

Expand the Building the World We Dream About curriculum and associated resources and training.
Support congregations that are working to create a Unitarian Universalism that is racially, culturally, and economically diverse; a part of this support will be in the form of grants.
Enable UU congregations and districts to minister effectively to youth and young adults who identify as people of color or multiracial, and to their families, in the areas of spiritual development, racial/cultural identity development, and leadership development.
