NEW UU
Eight-week orientation class begins March 17, Saturdays 10.30-12 noon. Child care provided with advance notice. This is a MUST for people new to the congregation! At the end of the class we will recognize our newest members during the worship service and they will be invited to continue to meet as a group. In other words, this is a great way to learn about what we believe and then be a part of a small group ministry right away. Rev. Morehouse will be leading most of the sessions.

Theological Academy

UU History, the next in our Theological Academy, begins Saturday Feb. 4th.

HARVEST THE POWER

Leadership Academy

Classes meet 2nd and 4th Mondays from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Led by Kathy Rickey, MAOL or Tracy Blender, Chair Leadership Development Committee

Coming Up:

Context of Leadership Module: Courses 103, 203, and 303

103: Power and Authority
February 13-7pm
This workshop distinguishes between power and authority, and between leadership and management. The group explores the implicit and explicit expectations of a congregational leader.

203: Integrity
February 27-7pm
Participants name and embrace that which sustains and grounds them and learn how this self-knowledge can help them lead from a place of creativity and imagination, rather than reactivity. The workshop offers models to help individuals and leadership teams support and reinforce the integrity of those entrusted with leadership positions in our congregations.

303: Keeping Distress Productive
March 12-7pm
This workshop explores conflict and difficult behavior as signs that a congregation has a deeper issue to bring forth. Participants will learn tools to discern and address the emotions and concerns that feed a congregational conflict. They will also learn strategies for responding to difficult behavior and resources for managing and transforming high level or intractable congregational conflict.

*The Leadership Academy is a drop-in, interactive workshop style learning experience. There are no prerequisite courses. Class is limited 12. Please sign up in the church office or email ARE@pacificunitarian.org
