Congregational Conversations: Planting, Pruning, & Bearing Fruit
Thursday, March 19, 2026 – 10:00 am PT | 11:00 am MT | 12:00 pm CT | 1:00 pm ET | 2:00 pm AT | 2:30 pm NT (90 minutes)
We are always making decisions – working to sustain or grow the health of our congregations and communities. When was the last time you reflected on the criteria you’re using? This conversation focuses on HOW we make important decisions.*
This month, we’re talking about:
-
- Planting: What does our community really need?
- Pruning: When is it time to let go of something?
- & Bearing Fruit: How do we measure success, or value, of a program or practice? What are our criteria? And how can this help us allocate our precious resources?

2026: A Year of Connection, Courage, and Collective Growth
In 2026, we invite you into a renewed season of Congregational Conversations—spaces where UU leaders gather to connect, focus, and learn.
Each session is an opportunity to pause, breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper purpose of congregational life. When you attend, you are not only nurturing your own leadership—you are offering a gift to your congregation and to our wider movement. Your presence helps strengthen the ecosystem of Unitarian Universalism across Canada.
These conversations are moments to ask:
What is emerging in our communities? What is being asked of us now? How can we lead with courage, imagination, and care?
Together, we cultivate wisdom that no congregation could generate alone.
