As the holidays have arrived with all of their hustle and bustle, yet never mind that the world still calls out for more love, your Central East Region Staff would like to wish you and yours season’s greetings. Thank you for your ministry, for your practice of our shared faith, and for all the ways that you show up day in and day out. Your “yes” to the great hope of our communities in being places where we might experience the fullness of the Beloved Community is imperative. Thank you.

Know that the UUA will be closed December 20, 2025 to January 4, 2026, reopening on January 5th. If you have an emergency during that time, please call (617) 948-4357 or email cer@uua.org, and a member of your staff will be in contact.

In January, your staff will be sharing a series of exciting updates. Please look to the Regional Newsletter and our social media platforms for more information. And as always, know that we are here to support your ministry as you embody the best of our faith in your respective communities. We can be reached by either direct email or phone call, and by the Partnership Activation Request Form.
