2008 Association Sunday Set for October 12
September 26, 2008
The date for the Unitarian Universalist Association’s (UUA’s) second annual Association Sunday is October 12. The UUA is asking congregations to hold events that day to recognize and support the work of the Association.
The first Association Sunday events were held last fall and raised more than $1.4 million, with funds going for a national advertising campaign, to support ministers of color and their congregations, and to provide growth grants for individual congregations.
The 2008 campaign is titled “Growing Our Spirit.” Funds will be used for lay theological education and for continuing education for ministers, as well as grants for seminary students and support for ministers of color. Go to the Association Sunday website for details.
Congregations may select dates other than October 12 to hold their events, if necessary. Register online or email your service date and contact information to associationsunday @ uua.org. You can also call Devin Letzer, Campaign Assistant for Association Sunday, at (617) 948-6544. A packet to help with organization of 2008 events is available online, as are an Association Sunday poster and a web banner.
For more information contact interconnections @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
