These are some of the primary doorways that help people find their way into opportunities to give and receive ministry in the church. Watch the mail for our special registration flyer. In a growing number of UU congregations and agencies, settled ministers are assisted in their pastoral role by lay ministers. These members of the congregation may provide visits, counsel, support, and take a leadership role in small groups or in worship. Two all-day training sessions have been planned for lay ministers and the settled ministers they work with.
Congregations considering the addition of lay ministry are also welcome to send delegates.
It will deal with such basic matters as the nature of ministry, listening skills, kinds of lay ministry, boundaries and confidentiality. Please Register by October 13 at the District Office. Child-care is provided, parking is available, and a snack reception follows each service. Come to the East Coast Leadership Training. Housing and food will be available at little or no cost.
