[MNYD-YA-announce] Being More Visible: Changing More Lives - Campus Ministry Event September 23-25

[Claire Sexton]

More exciting opportunities for young adult ministry!  This event (further
description below) is a great opportunity for young adults on the younger
end of the age range and people who want to minister to them. If you are
interested in going but might not have enough money there are scholarships
available from the UUA, and let me know if you have the time but not the
money because I may also be able to allot some district funds. We would love
to have somebody from Metro New York District at this gathering to bring
back some of the resources and ideas for new campus start ups.
There's also a Facebook event version that has some conversation going on: *

Is Unitarian Universalism alive and well on your nearby campus?

SHOULD it be?! Do you want to make it happen?!

Every day thousands of campus students across the country yearn for a
spiritual/faith community that can meet their needs. Students who were
raised Unitarian Universalist miss the connections they had back home in
youth group and students who don't even know about our faith have few
options for spiritual community on campus.  We also know that the college
years are a time of massive identity development and evolution. It is a time
when young adults need tremendous emotional and spiritual support.

Come join ministers, seminarians, college students (commuter and on-campus),
lay leaders and lifespan faith development professionals for valuable
face-time to talk about campus ministry and how to spread our impact in the
lives of individuals and campus communities. Other denominations are present
and thriving in campuses with political and religious agendas that many
young adults do not support or find nurturing. We need to be more visible.
We need to change more lives. We know the need is there so come gather to
make plans to meet it.
