SUMMARY:Transition Team Info Session - Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The transition team is offering a zoom version of the April 19 in-person event. This is the same event so no need to attend both. \nJoin us via Zoom to hear about what we learned from the congregation from the listening circles last month. We will also share an introduction on how structure and staffing is offered at similar size Unitarian Universalist congregations. Finally\, we will provide an introduction to covenanting as a community and discuss a covenant of right relations. \nClick here to join the Zoom.

SUMMARY:Beginning the Work of Covenant - Covenant Task Force Drop-In Offering
DESCRIPTION:The Covenant Task Force (CTF) invites you to join them in the Parlor\, after worship\, on Sunday\, May 17th. We are volunteers collaborating with the ministers\, Parish Committee\, Transition Team and Safe Congregations Committee to craft an all-congregation covenant as a part of our settled minister search process. \nAt that time you will be able to review examples of covenants created by other congregations of our size. These examples were gathered by our Transition Team in their on-going work to provide information about a variety of topics as we move forward in our search for our next lead minister. \nAs you scan these documents we encourage you to notice keywords\, phrases\, and Unitarian Universalist values shared by all. Members of the CTF will be on hand to listen to your thoughts\, offer ways for you to make suggestions about the creation of ours\, and gather feedback. \nFor those who can not be with us that day we will be posting a full listing of the covenants on-line for your review\, as well as methods of sharing your feedback to us. \nWe hope to see you then! \nCovenant Task Force:\nTali Avery\, Anthony Fernandez\, Julie Garry (Transition Team Liaison)\, Amy Hadley\, and Tina Schultz

SUMMARY:Covenant Discernment and Listening Circle
DESCRIPTION:Come join the First Parish Covenant Task Force\, Transition Team\, and Parish Committee members to share your voice and experiences! \nIn facilitated small group conversations (called “discernment circles”)\, you’ll be asked your thoughts on how we put our shared values into practice in our community. Notes from these conversations will be instrumental to the formation of a new community covenant over the next few months. Everyone is welcome\, although we do encourage folks to sign up in advance since space is limited. \nNote: a separate online event will be offered before the end of the program year\, to especially capture the perspectives of remote community members and parents. \nClick here to register online for this event.
