UU FaithAction NJ is sponsoring a workshop to help lay folks learn the art of sermon writing and how to lead worship. Our goal:
Workshop in Two Parts
Part I focuses on generating written texts, takes place at any UU congregation that accepts the invitation to schedule it. Curriculum is provided for the 2.5 hour workshop.
Part II folks come together from all NJ on Saturday, November 10, 10 -4 at The Unitarian Society in East Brunswick. The second builds on the first, so attendance at the first is required in order to take part in the second.
Has your minister scheduled one of the workshops to take place before the statewide one in November? Check in with them to find out if it will be on your congregation’s schedule. Maybe you can help make it happen.
Our goal at UU FaithAction NJ is to serve the cause of justice and compassion in New Jersey as effectively as possible while holding fast to our shared UU values. Your responses will help us do just that. Thank you and we hope to see you at next year’s Plenary–and hopefully sooner!
With kind regards,
Rev. Rob Gregson, Executive Director
