September In Care In Covenant Newsletter

Hello and welcome back!!

I hope that you are settling into your year- arriving on campus, picking out classes, starting your internships, and gearing up for the beginning of the church year. I know it is a busy but exciting time at seminary and in the life of an intern. I am so glad to welcome you back and hear all of your summer stories of leading worship, adventures, and CPE!

I'm also looking forward to connecting with you soon if we have not met! Please make anappointment to connect and fill out this member form if you would like to participate in this year's program as a district seminarian or ministerial student. Forward this email along to anyone who is new and would like to connect as well.


This year's In Care, In Covenant program will have a few different focuses.

1.) Helping to motivate each seminarian or ministerial student to engage or advance in the ministerial credentialing process.

2.) Matching seminarians with district and congregational learning opportunities and ministry mentors whom can help provide guidance and accountability.

3.) Opportunities for discernment, leadership development and ministerial formation within a community of Unitarian Universalists, guided by district ministers and professional leadership staff.

4.) Experiential educational programming which focuses primarily on Unitarian Universalist Rites of Passage, Liturgy, Congregational Life and Preaching.

5.) Marking milestones such as entrance into a new phase of credentialing and graduation.


See you this fall!
