WBUUC's Fall Outreach Project - We Need Your Help

Hello! This is Cas Burr reaching out on behalf of WBUUC's Fall Outreach Project. We want to reach out to members that we haven’t seen or heard from in a while, and we need your help to do this. If you are interested in helping call, please fill out this form and we will get back to you!

Wellspring begins in January 2026

Are you interested in taking part in a year-long program that offers spiritual deepening and connection? Please consider participating in our Wellspring program, starting in January and running through December. This program offers multiple curricula, and we are hoping to run at least two different groups this year. This curriculum is especially good for people in transition who need a little grounding, people stepping down from leadership roles who want to nurture their inner life, parents who desire a sense of purpose in their parenting, and retirees who have newfound free time and want to dig deeper into legacy and purpose.


Rev. Jack is trying his best to get a sense of who is interested in participating in a Wellspring group and who might be interested to co-facilitate a group. Please fill out the following form to express your interest in this program: https://bit.ly/wellspring-2026

We would be honored to name your joy or sorrow or life event during our Sunday morning meditation so that our community can know about your concern and hold it with you. As the Swedish proverb goes, “Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow.”
