Interested in attracting new people to your congregation or UU group? In these times, it's not as easy as it might seem. The UUA Outreach team helps us understand that it's not just about "being visible" or "getting the word out." It's about building relationships. It's about getting curious about the real lives of the people "out there" who don't even know they're longing for what Unitarian Universalism has to offer. It's about growing and changing not simply in numbers, but in depth, in breadth, and in the expression of our faith.
