Online Gathering After Services
If you attend our services online, we’d love for you to stick around and connect with others after the service—or arrive a little early for a pre-service hello.
Join the conversation here (the link is the same each week—no need to memorize it, just bookmark it!): https://meet.google.com/qvo-beqy-rqx

If you prefer not to be on camera while at our in-person live streamed or recorded services, we invite you to use the seats near the back and along the wall.

Have you ever left a meeting feeling energized and clear about what comes next? Or… the opposite? Most of us have experienced both.

Strong, well-run meetings don’t happen by accident. They grow from thoughtful leadership, clear agendas, shared roles, and decision-making processes that honour our Unitarian Universalist values of collaboration, respect, and democracy.

Join us for a two-hour interactive workshop on how to run effective meetings in a UU setting. Together we will explore:

• The key roles that help meetings run smoothly (chair, minute-taker, and more)
• What makes a clear and effective agenda
• What actually belongs in meeting minutes
• How UU groups make decisions together
• Practical tools for leading meetings that are engaging, respectful, and productive

This workshop will be hands-on and experiential. Participants will practice running short meetings, experiment with decision-making processes, and reflect together on how we can make our committees and teams work better for everyone.

Whether you currently chair a committee, take minutes, participate in meetings, or simply want to strengthen our shared leadership culture, this workshop is for you.

Come help us build meetings that support the work of our community—and make the best use of everyone’s time and gifts.

Please RSVP to Rev. Samaya
