We’ll meet in the UTS chapel on Tuesday, February 11, from 2:00-3:30.
Bring your expertise and experience; your questions and conundrums; your joy in contemplative practices; your wondering how to weave it together.
We may wind up with a “liturgy” or two – and at the very least, a network of contemplative worship planners to support, inspire and empower one another!

United’s Spring Convocation will take place on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 11:45 with a lunch to follow at 12:30. The service will feature the Installation of Rev. Gary F. Green II as Assistant Professor of Pastoral Theology and Social Transformation. The title of Gary’s address is “Misunderstood Miracles.” Please join us for this celebration of the spring term and the addition of Gary to the United Community.

On February 23, 2020, UCC churches are invited to participate in Seminary Sunday. Congregations use Seminary Sunday to explore the importance of theological education for their communities.

We are happy to assist you in your preparations for Seminary Sunday. Please contact the Cindi Beth Johnson, director of alum and church engagement at cbjohnson@unitedseminary.edu or 651.255.6137.

Join Rev. Karen Hutt and local experienced chaplains as we seek to provide care to souls in public places. Learn how to be available for a stranger in need with a friendly listening ear. Learn to meet people where they are in the food court, in the courthouse lobby, where people may be facing loneliness, sadness, joy or discernment.
