Would you like to sign up for Worship Well: A UUA Program for Lay Worship Leaders?

Have you ever led worship at GNUUC — or thought you might like to? The UUA's Worship Arts team is launching Worship Well, a new program built for lay worship leaders, and GNUUC's participation is free because we're an Honor Congregation this year. Note: This program is for lay leaders only; ministers do not attend.

Worship Well is designed to:

• Build connection and mutual support among lay worship leaders

• Grow your confidence in claiming worship leadership and using it responsibly

• Open up pathways to UU worship resources

• Center our anti-racist, anti-oppression values

• Be a fun, accessible gathering

Co-facilitated by Mx. Antoinette Hollamon (they/them) and Rev. Erika Hewitt (she/her), the sessions meet monthly on Zoom for 75 minutes, with an optional extra 15 minutes for congregational teams to talk through how the learning fits our own context.

When: 4:15–5:30 p.m. Central (plus the optional 4:15 team huddle at 5:30)

• Monday, August 31

• Monday, September 28

• Wednesday, October 14 (bonus session)

• Monday, October 26

• Monday, November 30

Come to as many sessions as your schedule allows — full attendance is welcome and flexible participation works too.

Imagine a few of us bringing back to GNUUC new ideas, resources, and skills to share with the whole congregation, along with connections to UUs across the country. That's the opportunity here.

Interested? Let Rev. Denise know by Wednesday, August 19.
