SEPTEMBER 2021 WORKSHOPS

Congregational Life in the Time of COVID

A Series of Workshops

 

 

Still in The Woods - Where to now?
In May, July and October of 2020 and March of 2021, we held forums discussing the impact of the pandemic on congregational life. Congregations from across the country joined us to share and learn from one another. With the rise in infections due to the Delta variant, we find that we are not out of the woods yet. We invite you once again to join us for a virtual conversation about your congregation’s current status and your plans for a still uncertain future.

Choose from two dates:

Tuesday, September 7th or Wednesday, September 8th

Both sessions from 2:00-3:00 pm ET; 1:00-2:00 pm CT; 11:00 am - noon PT

A series of follow-up conversations to the sessions on "Congregational Life in the Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic.”  As we learn to adjust to church life in the virtual age, what are we learning?  How do we see our congregations differently?  What are our challenges and what innovative solutions are we implementing?  As we look ahead to the next few weeks and months, what is the plan?
Join us for an open sharing of ideas, strategies, and triumphs with UU congregations from across the country.

May 2020 Sessions: THE BEST VIEW

****Info and Recorded Sessions - "The Best View: Congregational Life in the Aftermath of COVID-19"****

There is an adage that the best view comes after the hardest climb.  When life begins to return to “normal”, what will we see?  How will our view of church change as a result of the pandemic and what modifications should we begin to prepare for?

This session was offered three times. Recordings of each session are below.
