The Community Map to Deeper Joy which shows the map of a shoreline along the ocean with a river running through it. It reads, "The Deeper Joy of Whole Church RE" and below it are icons that read sacred stories, joyful connections, faithful conversations, public witness, community making, and creative contemplation.

The Deeper Joy of Whole Church RE workshop will be offered for Sparks credit at The Mountain July 5-10, 2026. The module will be led byJennica Davis and Joy Berry from the UUA Lifespan Faith Engagement team.

Religious educators, ministers, and staff are invited to come delve in! We’ll explore collaborative faith development for folks of all ages that feels more like play and helps us strengthen our relationship muscles. Expect hands-on activities and resources grounded in Deeper Joy and Whole Church RE, a curious look at our “congregations as curriculum,” and ways to name, claim, and game our way, together, toward faith development goals that shape a more joyful, welcoming, resilient, and beloved community.

Note: This workshop will be eligible for Sparks-level professional development credit. 

It is designed especially to support shared ministry approaches to congregational community-building and co-learning – religious educators are encouraged to invite their ministry colleagues to join us!
