    Leadership Con

    Earlier this month, from Friday, April 12th to Sunday, April 14th young adult leaders from across the country gathered at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock in Manhasset, NY for a leadership conference. Many were from the greater Metro NY area, with some traveling from Pennsylvania, and one participant from each Maine and Washington State! We came together for a weekend in learning community, knowing that our connections with one another provide support and catalyze our own growth. Participants reflect: “It was great to connect with other young adults from around the country. It’s easy to forget as a young adult away from my home church that there’s this whole community out there just waiting to be…

    Doing It Right – Philadelphia edition

    A congregation of young adult-ly love While in Philadelphia for the January UUA Board meeting, I had the true pleasure of meeting a group of young adults from the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia. In fact, the entire UUA Board came down to First Church for discussion and an open mic coffeehouse. It was just a lovely time. First Church is an urban, gothic church in downtown Philadelphia. And though it proudly proclaims its heritage dating back to its first minister 18th century Unitarian luminary Joseph Priestly, the church is very much a contemporary institution embedded in its own time and place. Describing itself as a “regional community center,” First Church leverages its unique facilities…

    Doing It Right – Columbus Edition

    I was recently back in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio, and wanted to share some of the great ideas for young adult ministry that I saw at the church I grew up in: First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus. The Basics – FUUCC is a large church with more than 600 members and 400 adults attending on an average Sunday. Commitment to young adult ministry runs through the church staff and lay leaders, including both ministers and the Director of Religious Education. In addition to welcoming young adults into multigenerational church life and leadership, ministry programs specifically targeting young adults include: Twenties/Thirties Covenant Group (part of the church’s extensive small group ministry program) A campus…

    The Hub for Connection

    As of January 1st, Connectuu will no longer exist.  It will be replaced by the Google Map and Google Calendar features on The Hub: Young Adult UUs on Facebook.  These tools are easy to use, provide more information in a more accessible way and easily integrate into more social networks.     The Hub Google map is mainly for contact information about Young Adult and Campus Ministry groups through congregations and other geographic associations.                 The Hub Google Calendar is a great way to learn about new events- particularly conferences- that are happening across the country.  I’ve entered events of which I’m aware, and count on you to…
