“Live our principles, put goals into action; have healthy, good leadership”
RVUUF’s first Congregational Discussion session took place November 4, 2018. Five groups held brainstorming style conversations in and around the Great Hall and Emerson House. This session was the first of three scheduled discussions to kick off the exploration of future congregational directions.
Each group utilized a standard format. This included Welcome and Introductions followed by sharing background on why we are holding these aspiring discussions:
Our congregation is in the last year of our 5 year developmental goal cycle. It is time to begin envisioning and setting priorities for the coming years.
In working to build a leadership team, the Board, CFM and Minister hope to have a dynamic where roles, responsibilities, authority and accountability are clear in governance and ministry. We will keep you posted about our research on models of church leadership.
“Advertising – make the community aware of us. Are you a UU and don’t know it?”
Three questions were posed to the groups and everyone was invited to reflect and share in the conversation.
- Who do we want to be?
- Whom do we serve?
- What choices do we have?
The following report is a synopsis of responses provided by each group.
