January 26, 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Join us to energize the minister-congregation relationship with the Startup Workshop for Rev. Matthew McHale and the San Jose UU Church!
The main purposes of a Ministerial Startup Workshop are:
-
to playfully, yet seriously, explore FUCSJ’s and Rev. Matthew’s respective expectations, habits, and assumptions;
-
to go deeper into the process of integrating a new minister into the life, culture, and history of the congregation through interactive activities and storytelling;
-
to help FUCSJ understand more about our new minister: his style of ministry, openness to feedback, preference for collaboration, and more;
-
to connect with other members and learn from them;
-
and to have fun!
The workshop will be facilitated by Melissa James from the UUA Pacific Western Region. Lunch will be available after the worship service, and the workshop will run from approximately 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Participation will also be available via Zoom.
