Fall Leadership Training

This year we are offering six different tracks to choose from at the Fall Leadership Training, led by talented presenters. Participants and leaders of the six tracks at the Fall Leadership Training will meet separately but will gather as a community for worship and for meals.

The six tracks offered this year are:

• Unitarian Universalist Identity Renaissance Module, led by Thomas Pistole and Terry Ward
• The Future of Unitarian Universalism, led by Tandi Rogers
• Building Multicultural Coalitions, led by Carrie Stewart and Jennifer Nichols
• Examining Your Mission Field, led by Rev. Susan Smith
• Shaping Your Stewardship, led by Kay Crider
• Worship: From Theory to Practice, led by Rev. Kenn Hurto and Rev. Barbara Jarrell

We are offering programming for elementary through junior high children this year. The program will be on evolution.  With visits to Fossil Rim and Dinosaur Valley Parks, this is sure to be   While this is a multi-generational event, we are not yet able to offer child care. We hope to do that in years to come and welcome your input and ideas on whether that would be helpful to you and your family.

Glen Rose Retreat Center offers a variety of housing options for SWUUC Fall Training attendees. Families may want to stay at the Glen Rose La Quinta so they can stay in one room.  Glen Rose, Texas has other options available and is located approximately 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Go here for directions.

High school youth are welcome and encouraged to attend any of the 6 tracks and we hope to see youth in each. Youth will either stay with their family or, if attending with an adult advisor from their congregation, in one of two cabins (separated by gender). Youth and adults attending with youth must fill out extra forms which can be found here (also included in the paper brochure). If your congregation wishes to send a youth leader without a parent or advisor, please call the district office to discuss options.
