The recommended UUA minister search process includes congregation meetings to get insights beyond the survey as we refine our understanding of the congregation’s perspectives. These insights will help us prepare our document submission for a new minister. The UUA suggests two types of meetings:

Cottage meetings are group conversations for people to hear and understand the perspectives of others.

Focus groups are for specific interest groups within the congregation. Focus groups will start the same as cottage meetings with additional discussion to elicit the unique perspective of the particular group.

USG congregants are encouraged to attend one meeting. If you are not invited to a focus group, or are unavailable at the time listed, please attend one cottage meeting.

Click HERE for the full schedule of Cottage meetings and Focus groups. We ask that you RSVP for the in-person meetings in the Assembly Room. However, you are welcome to attend, even if you forget to RSVP.
