Startup workshop with Rev. Sunshine Wolfe 

Over the course of several weeks in January, our congregation took part in a New Ministry Start-Up Retreat led by Reverend Sunshine Wolfe from the UUA. Members, Friends, Church Leaders, Board, and Staff, were invited to participate in sessions that provided a time to consider what is important to us and how we will all work together to ensure that our new ministry will start well. We are sharing some of the insights, takeaways, and best practices learned from the retreat.
