An invitation to participate in community conversation

You are invited to participate in thoughtful community conversations with fellow WUUCies and friends. If you are yearning for authentic conversations about WUUC and the larger world, please join us. These conversations are a church-wide program in support of the 2023 WUUC Board goal to:  Foster the development of healthier congregational communication and interactions, aiming to grow mutual understanding among a diversity of perspectives and beliefs represented and build a community where all belong together.

These sessions will be an open format where everyone will have the opportunity to share what’s on your heart and mind. In this initial phase, each session will also include reflection on how we have been communicating at WUUC, and what kinds of conversations (as individuals and as a community) we want to build towards together. As we share our stories and our needs, we can build our relationships with each other.   You are invited to attend one or as many sessions as you would like.

When will these conversations happen in February?

  • Sunday, February 19th, from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PST (in the sanctuary after Worship service).  Feel free to bring personal lunch food to the session
  • Tuesday, February 28th on Zoom from 7-8:30 p.m. PST

These conversations will be moderated by a team of facilitators including Lindsay Rogers, Pam Green, Jane Flood and Dottie Simpson with Board liaisons Jan Radoslovich, Terry Santmann and Leslie Morton substituting as needed.

The intention of our moderators is to assist the group in creating conversations:

  1. Where participants can share and discuss what is on their minds…
  2. in a courageous, loving space that is experienced as safe, welcoming, and productive.

Note that additional conversations will be scheduled for March and April

What happens to information shared in these conversations?

These conversations begin with the assumption that what is shared will be held in confidence unless explicitly released from the group’s covenant of confidentiality. Each session will also end with a brief opportunity to reflect on what happened in the conversation, where folks are now, any intentions folks have for further conversations or actions, and any requests to the group for release from the confidentiality restrictions for particular parts of the conversation.

Please join us!
Lindsay, Pam, Jane and Dottie
Facilitator Team recruited by the WUUC Board
