Congregational Survey
We want to hear from you! Describe the characteristics you want in our next lead
minister and your priorities for their work. This anonymous survey is open to everyone (members, friends, visitors). It takes ~15-30 minutes.
If you would like to print or review the survey in full, please click below. Paper copies can be found and returned to a secure box outside the UUFR offices in the lower lobby.
Searching Circles
Join a small group discussion about UUFR’s identity, needs, and hopes for our next minister. These small group gatherings are open to all UUFR members and friends. They will last about 90 minutes. A variety of dates and times are available in Sep-Oct.
Summary notes from these sessions will be shared to prospective ministers to help them understand who we are and what we hope for.
"B4" Workshop
Mark your calendar for November 15. The UUA will facilitate a "Break Barriers, Build Beliefs (B4)" Workshop. Explore our commitment to anti-racism, anti-discrimination, and multiculturalism as we select our next lead minister.
The workshop will be ~3-4 hours on Saturday Nov 15 at UUFR. We will share more details about the workshop as the date nears. All of UUFR is invited and we hope you will attend!
Some history:
The B4 Workshop incorporates wisdom in the call of the UUA’s report, Widening the Circle of Concern. It asks the congregation to consider what biases it has (both conscious and unconscious) around identities that their potential minister may hold. Those identities can include gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, mental health, class, age, size, etc.
This program takes into account the realization that as UUs, we need to grapple with breaking old cultural habits, and rebuild belief in the power of Beloved Community.
