      Development

The St. Lawrence District's mission is to serve, connect and grow new and existing Unitarian Universalist congregations. Therefore, everything we do relates to congregational growth and development.

We are committed to:

• Improving our congregations' health and capacity through many means,

• Helping our congregations fulfill their hopes and dreams, and

• Growing Unitarian Universalism by increasing the number of vital, healthy, growing congregations actively connected in community and in service to one another and the wider world through our District and the Unitarian Universalist movement.

We encourage you to explore the many resources and links offered on this website.

 

SLD Staff, Consultants and Coordinators

These are folks with knowledge on specific topics of interest to UU congregations. Their names and contact information are shown in the charts on the District Contacts & Connections page. Please share your questions, concerns and suggestions with them.

 

Leadership Development Workshops

The St. Lawrence District sponsors or co-sponsors training sessions on a wide variety of topics throughout the year. These are frequently Saturday sessions hosted by one of our congregations. Other training sessions can run from two days to a week.

Upcoming Workshops Please go to District Calendar & Events to view details for all the workshops coming up soon, plus the dates of those scheduled for later this year.
RE Training Religious Educators should also check the resources listed under Lifespan Religious Education.
UULTI The summer Unitarian Universalist Leadership Training Institute is an amazing week-long residential training experience jointly sponsored by the SLD and three other UU districts. 2008 dates are July 31 - August 3.

 

 

District Assembly

Every April, UUs from every corner of the St. Lawrence District enjoy gathering for District Assembly. This Friday evening/all day Saturday get-together combines training, inspiration, celebration, and a brief business meeting, and a Bridging Ceremony for senior youth.

Go to our District Assembly page for details and copies of handouts from the most recent event.
