Join a small group to discuss calling Rev. Cat as our RE Minister

April 19th, 2025 by

UUCPA is considering a call to Reverend Cat for her to continue in her role as Religious Education Minister. Thank you to the many of you who have already participated in the small-group meetings on this topic.

There are still opportunities to participate in a small group meeting, and we hope you will join us. These facilitated and confidential meetings are an opportunity to connect with others as you share your perspectives and hear theirs about our religious education programs and how the religious education minister is part of our congregation.

To date, we have over 50 people who have attended or signed up to attend the meetings. We will report to the Board and the congregation a summary of what we have heard and learned. You can sign up online  or at our table on the patio after Sunday service. Our remaining scheduled meetings are on Sunday, May 4, either after the service or that evening. (In-person meetings after the service offer snacks and childcare.)  You can email the task force at redisc…@uucpa.org with your questions. 

Thank you!

The Religious Education Discernment task force:
Joe Bailey, Greg Becker, Gloria Geller, Edie Keating, and Diane Schweitzer
