Congregational Participation
- September: We are asking for your input in our move towards a different future with a new minister by completing a congregational survey. The emphasis is on what you think the congregation needs. Please click here to take the survey online. If you require a print copy, please contact office@uufsb.org. The deadline to submit your survey is Sept. 30.
A summary and results of the survey will be shared in October. - October-November: We will hold cottage meetings and focus groups to gain additional input from the congregation. Please stay tuned for more information.
Other Current Committee Work
We have submitted our application for a Beyond Categorical Thinking / Breaking Barriers, Building Beliefs (BCT/B4) program. We will be assigned one or the other. The program is facilitated by trainer(s) from the UUA. Issues around race/ethnicity, gender/gender identity, visible and invisible disabilities and health concerns, and sexual orientation are addressed in the workshop, which will be held in mid-fall.
