This blog, developed by District Executive, Annette Marquis, is to help UUs in the Thomas Jefferson District strengthen their skills as effective and transformational congregational leaders.
The District is a vibrant, diverse faith community of healthy congregations that is a prophetic model of anti-racism and anti-oppression. We are called to collaborate with other faith and community groups to transform our society.

Annette,
We are an Emerging Congregation and have been meeting for almost 4 years in Lenoir, N.C. We meet weekly and have very vibrant, lay-led services every Sunday. Our congregation has grown to about 30 members with an average of 20 attending each week. We follow a UU Order of Service and contribute money and service to several local charitible organizations. Our congergation is very pleased with our small, active church, but I am presenting a service in two weeks to point out why we should look toward becoming an full fledged Affiliate with the UUA. Can you give me your reasons why we need to become an Affiliate and broaden our sphear of influence?
We have not gotten much encouragement from either the district office or any other sister congregation.

Herb, I’m glad to hear that you are still meeting. Please give me a call at the TJD office and we can talk about how you might be better supported.
