Each year, thousands of Unitarian Universalists gather to conduct the business of the Unitarian Universalist Association and to participate in workshops, learning opportunities and worship at General Assembly (GA). This year’s GA will take place solely online from June 20 to 24. With no travel involved, all can easily attend. Consider signing up for part or all of the exciting events!

We are hoping to provide for in-person gatherings at the church to experience GA in community. For instance, we are discussing a possible social event during which participants can watch the prestigious WARE Lecture together.

This is an important year for GA because delegates will vote on whether to adopt amendments to Article II of the UUA Bylaws governing Principles and Purposes, which include a new Values statement.

Registration is now open. Adult registration ($280) includes real-time access to GA through the Whova Event App, as well as on-demand programming for viewing featured speakers and worship services at your own pace.

You can register now through February 29 with a down payment of $50 by selecting the Early Bird Payment Plan at checkout. Voting delegates who wish to participate only in Plenary Sessions may register with the business-only option without a fee, though a donation is suggested. Registration rates increase on March 1.

Financial support is also available for those who cannot pay the registration fee. Look here for information.

If you would like to know more, including ways to volunteer to help with GA planning, please contact Holly Bussey at DA@UUCWC.org.
