Attend GA!

2/17/2021

General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Each year UUs gather from across the United States and the world to learn, worship, and conduct the business of the Association through workshops, lectures, events, and worship services. This year’s GA will be held virtually June 23-27 with the theme “Circle ‘Round for Justice, Healing and Courage.”

If you have never been to a GA, the Board is willing to pay for members to participate using our Leadership Development Funds. If you are interested, please contact Norma Bailey (baile1nj@cmich.edu) for further information, and visit the UUA website to learn more. Of course, if you have attended before, loved it, and found it to be a valuable experience, we encourage you to attend; because GA is virtual again this year, the registration fee is relatively inexpensive at $200.

Several members of our congregation took advantage of this year’s unique opportunity to attend General Assembly online. Those of us who participated will be talking about our experiences during upcoming Sunday services. In the meantime, we’ll be using the newsletter to share some of what we learned at GA.

If you attended GA sessions and would like to share your thoughts in the newsletter, please send contributions to Jessica Jernigan at jljernigan@gmail.com.

This week we’re hearing from Gisela Moffit. Two ideas that caught her attention are:
The pandemic has shown us that radical social changes are possible, and we are all responsible for taking the long view—one that extends beyond our lifetime—when it comes to change.

She also shared this quotation, “We all take shifts for the revolution.”
