UUA General Assembly! SEEKING REPRESENTATIVES – Could it be UU?

General Assembly (the annual meeting of the Unitarian Universalist Association - the UUA) is coming up in June. The Morristown UU Fellowship will be “sending” five members to represent us at General Assembly Business meeting and voting sessions.

This year, being “sent” is easy – you don’t have to travel! The Business sessions of GA will be a set of virtual meetings held June 14-16 online in the afternoon and evening, and it can be free to attend as a representative of MUUF. Please contact the Board if you’d like to be considered for being a representative to GA.

You can attend the General Assembly without being a representative as well, and registration fees are still “early bird” rates until the end of April. Go online to register to attend. The Worship and community sessions of GA will be held online and at local gatherings. Our nearest Satellite Site is at UU Montclair, and their invitation was shared in the newsletter on March 12.

This year’s theme is “Meet the Moment: Together Everywhere” and the worship agenda looks fabulous. This year’s Ware lecture features Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde (she gave the Benediction at the 2020 DNC and the homily at the January 2025 interfaith prayer service following Donald Trump’s second inauguration – a sermon which invoked the ire of the administration). Additional speakers include poet Crystal Simone Smith and the Rev. Liz Walker, and worship will be led by Rev. Katie Roman Griffin, Re. Rachel Lonberg, and the Rev. Jen Yousun Ryu, as well as local worship leaders at the local community Satellite sites. Join UUs locally to appreciate our CommUUnity!

The GA schedule is online and we encourage you to attend if you can. Please contact the Board for more information or to volunteer to represent UUs!
