A MESSAGE FROM THE UUAMP MEMBERSHIP COORDINATOR
Dear UUAMP Colleagues,
UUAMP has been in existence for 10 years! In that time, we have achieved the goals that I had hoped for: sharing resources and challenges with others doing this work, building relationships across the country, and fighting for better compensation.
These were all things I needed personally, and everyone I talked to felt the same way. While I will always be grateful to those who helped start this group, I am especially grateful to those who continue its leadership. We need this group more than ever, as we figure out how to do church in a completely new way. I turn to this group again and again for support and answers to questions that I have on how we can do this well.
I hope you join me in renewing your UUAMP membership! We acknowledge that finances are even tighter than ever, and appreciate those congregations who can afford our $75 dues. For those who can’t afford the full amount, we have a scholarship fund. Let me know how we can support you.
In faith,
Marie Luna
UUAMP Membership Coordinator
