General Assembly is our denomination’s annual June gathering where congregation delegates do the business of the UUA and where UUs can attend workshops, lectures, and worship services. Please note that the UUA is trying a new format this year, with many changes.  I will summarize a few key pieces of information here, but please go to the GA website for more information: https://www.uua.org/ga. You can also contact Kathy Kerns ([email protected]) for more information.

** the business meeting will take place 6/14 – 6/16, online only. This meeting is for congregation delegates to GA who will attend business sessions and vote on behalf of their congregation.  Our church board selects our church’s delegates, please contact Moderator Randy Ruchotzke ([email protected]) if you are interested in serving as a delegate. You can opt out of the $175 registration fee or request reimbursement from our church’s Leadership Development Committee (request to [email protected]).  

** the programming (workshops, worship, talks) will take place 6/19 – 6/21.  You may attend online only ($350 registration before May 1; $450 after that date). There are two in person options; in addition to paying the regular registration fee, you can pay an additional $25 to attend  GA at a church that is streaming content so you can watch with other attendees (as of now, there is no local option, the closest church is in Rochester, NY). Alternatively, you can attend the streamed sessions in Louisville with others ($300 registration; does not include housing). There appear to be limited sessions to attend on these dates, although as with past years there may be additional prerecorded workshops that can be accessed as part of the registration fees.
