Mosaic Conference: Fostering Belonging & Liberation – Watch Party

Members, Friends, and Supporters are invited to join in an online Watch Party for the Mosaic Fall Conference. Information about the Mosaic can be found here.

We are registered to participate online as a Congregational Team. If you would like to attend you can either do so from the comfort of your home or join in the Watch Party at the Fellowship.

**Please RSVP to Pam at pam@uufws.org by October 14th to request the viewing link if you will join from home or to share any dietary restrictions and request childcare if you will join the Watch Party at the Fellowship. Snacks will be provided both days, and lunch will be provided on Friday.

Please plan to arrive by 10:45am on Friday and Saturday to get settled and ready for the 11am start time. Please note that on Saturday we will break up before lunch so we clear the building by 1:30pm for a different, previously scheduled event. Folks can log back in at home to finish the Saturday program.
