September 25-26 - Small Congregations Leadership Training in Saskatoon

With Rev. Robert Latham
Life in a small congregation isn't just a miniature version of life in a larger one. Small congregations face unique challenges and have unique resources.

Join us in sunny Saskatoon for a weekend workshop focused on equipping lay leaders of small congregations. Particular attention will be paid to how to be a vital community without the benefit of a full time minister.
The weekend will be split into three workshops: worship, leadership and committee on ministry. You are welcome to attend some or all of the workshops. Home hospitality will be available. To register or for more information, email Liz James at LizJames@me.com.

For more information, call or email Rev. Anne - she is planning to attend and welcomes your participation.

Oct 1-3 - Going Deeper Workshop

October 25 - 'Build Your Own Theology' course

Monday evenings 7-9pm, from Oct 25 to Nov 29 (no class Nov 8)
Taking time to develop (or to enrich) your personal theology is an excellent way to grow in your experience of Unitarian Universalism, to connect more deeply with yourself and with your community members.
Designed by Richard Gilbert, a respected UU minister recognized for his social justice leadership, this program asks key questions, leads participants through private and group discovery, and completes with the creation of a personal credo.
Whether you are a new Unitarian, exploring our shared principles for the first time, or a seasoned member, re-evaluating and refining your experience, this program is suited to you.
