Appreciative Inquiry Process Updates
As you know, the UUFA is embarking upon this process, which will allow us to share our best experiences about our fellowship. We welcome members, former members, friends, and guests to these meetings. Following the small group meetings, most or all of which will happen away from the Fellowship building, we will come back together as a congregation to identify broad themes, which will inform our future direction. Wenda Sheard and Susan Westenbarger will be facilitating our small group discussion.
Monday, March 5 – The first AI session was held at UUFA. Five members attended and enjoyed discussion together.
Next AI Sessions – all are welcome! Contact Wenda Sheard (wendasheard@yahoo.com) or Susan Westenbarger (susanw.uu@gmail.com) if interested in attending.
