Recap of our Sunday, November 15th, 2020 President's Council Fall Meeting Part 3
The September gathering focused on reconnection, a President’s report with a focus on the UU the Vote Organizing Campaign, and a teaser about the work of President’s Council in FY21. The October gathering offered an additional opportunity for connection, as well as a deeper orientation to the work of President’s Council in FY21.
During our final gathering in November we provided the opportunity for reflection post-election and as we approached the mid-point of an unprecedented year in our congregations and our faith. We were also joined with musical offerings from guests Davron Monroe and Melanie Bacaling.
