New Year News from Denominational Affairs: February 11, 2022

Happy New Year! The Denominational Affairs Team (DA) kicks off 2022 with a renewed sense of purpose which includes expanded communication with the Unitarian Church of Evanston (UCE) community. Watch for regular articles about DA activities and stories about UU work at UCE and beyond. Our team seeks to strengthen ties between our congregation and the larger association. We alert our members to resources offered by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and encourage participation in local, regional and national activities. DA maintains a flyer on UU organizations that thrive in and support our UCE community. Check out the updated version here.  

Spotlight on UU Organization: The MidAmerica Region of the UUA provides congregational life services to approximately 187 congregations, 3 emerging congregations, and 10 covenanting communities across 13 states. In a year of adaptation, these services include relationship building, leadership development, faith formation, cultural competence, and support for dismantling systemic white supremacy culture, as well as coaching in stewardship and conflict transformation. The Friends of MidAmerica monthly newsletter offers a wide range of information and resources. Check out the January 2022 issue here and consider signing up for regular updates.
