May 2008: Spring Training
Dear Friends,
Spring is in the air, now is the time for growth and renewal. We have many resources to help you strengthen your community and your leaders in this month’s mailing with workshops, trainings, and new materials.
Encourage someone in your congregation to apply for the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Interim DRE Training this summer or sign up to be a Facilitator for the Beyond Categorical Thinking training and help your community be more open during your ministerial search.
Explore how we are connected to Unitarian Universalists (UUs) around the world and how we create a global village to improve women’s lives everywhere.
Learn about how we’re growing our faith nationally with the latest Time Magazine ad from the National Marketing Outreach Campaign. And explore new musical territory by performing the new cantata written for UUs to celebrate our faith.
Please feel free to print extra copies of the materials included here and share this information with others.
In peace,
Sabe Graham
Public Information Assistant
