Friends, this is Peter Bowden with a UU Growth Lab update!  The attached video includes an invitation to our March and April live sessions, as well as details on the training and resources now available through our member program.  

UU Growth Lab Update - Live Events, On-Demand Training, and Resources

Upcoming Lab Live Events

March 25th at 1:00PM Eastern Time
Deepening Newcomer Engagement and Membership 

This session will focus on strategies for engaging people once they connect with your congregation. In January our training cycle focused on digital strategies to help people "pre-qualify" themselves for membership. This session addresses what happens next — how can we support newcomers on their journey toward deeper engagement and membership?

  • Zoom Registration for Members Now Open
  • Remaining seats will open for guests next week  

April 29th at 1:00PM Eastern Time
Practical AI for Congregations

This no-technical-skills-required session explores how congregations can use AI with intention, integrity, and purpose to advance their mission and impact.

We'll focus on practical applications from supporting brainstorming and strategic planning to enhancing your congregation's communications!
