Description of Activity
Together, examine the latest issue of Interconnections. Note that most articles lift up new Association-wide initiatives and/or congregational best practices, and that the audience includes congregations of all sizes.
Plan a field trip to another Unitarian Universalist congregation to learn more about one of their committees, task forces, groups, or initiatives. When you visit, identify one or more "best practices" to share with your own congregation.
Variation
Work with your minister and governing body to design an annual renewal of covenant for the leadership and the congregation, or an annual recognition of volunteers.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
