Introduction

Welcome to the new, weekly Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign (UUCUC) Minister’s blog from your Interim Minister Janet Newman. This blog is meant to let you know about: 1) events in the life of the congregation that I want to highlight, 2) my thoughts about transition opportunities that are available to UUCUC, and 3) comments and observations from me that don’t fit into the E-News and eUniter.

Blogs are meant to be brief, pithy, and informative. I hope that this one will be helpful to you as you enhance your connection with Unitarian Universalism in general and UUCUC in particular.

First, then, please note that I will lead a four-session series for newcomers and not-so-newcomers titled “Orientation to Unitarian Universalism.” The sessions will take place in the church library every Sunday in April beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Regular attendance will lead to greater understanding, but the sessions can be helpful regardless of continuity. Come when you can; all are welcome.

Childcare is available by request; please notify Cindy Wakeland, Director of Religious Education (DRE), at re-director@uucuc.org.

Next week in this blog, I will focus on the General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association taking place in Columbus, OH, from June 22-26.

Reach me at interim-minister@uucuc.org.

Faithfully,

Janet Newman
