Congregational Participation

  • Cottage Meetings: We successfully held five cottage meetings and five focus groups, which were attended by a total of 77 congregants (each led by two of the seven Search Committee members). We are grateful for all the wonderful and honest input that you provided. We have compiled all the feedback from the 10 meetings and prepared a summary of the responses. CLICK HERE TO READ THE SUMMARY. This summary is also part of the Documents Package that prospective ministers will see.
  • B4 Program: The Breaking Barriers, Building Beliefs  (B4) program was held on Zoom on Sat., Nov. 4. The program was facilitated by a trainer from the UUA. Issues around race/ethnicity, gender/gender identity, visible and invisible disabilities and health concerns, and sexual orientation were addressed in the workshop. Thanks to all who attended this important program.
  • Congregational Survey: Thanks to the more than 100 people who completed a survey. We appreciate your time and concern regarding our future with a new minister and what you think the congregation needs.
