By Martha Bell and Holly Bussey, Congregational Engagement Ministry

UUCWC honors its incredible leaders in various ways—during chalice lightings, through words from our ministers, and through leadership recognitions. Another way we can show our appreciation is by providing resources to help everyone become better volunteers and leaders.

That’s why members of the Congregational Engagement ministry have created a new UUCWC Group Leaders’ Resource Guide. It covers best practices, how our ministries and committees operate, the basics of scheduling and managing meetings, and practical topics such as budgeting.

Here’s what to do next:

1. Visit the Leadership Resources webpage and download the new guide. Note that the last section, “Leadership Basics Cheat Sheet,” is also offered as a 1-page (double-sided) quick reference that you can print and use.
2. To open the Guide, use the same password you use to open the Church Directory.
3. If you need more guidance and information, email us at congeng@uucwc.org. We’re here to support you!
