Ministerial Formation Network: Opportunities for Support and Engagement

The Ministerial Fellowship Committee meets December 3-7 and the MFN is pleased to be coordinating pastoral companions to the candidates who will have their interviews.  If you are available to support one or more colleagues, reach out via email (Favreault@UUMA.org) for details.   

“We experience that candidates who work significantly with the Ministerial Formation Network are more prepared and more connected with the larger UU movement. We encourage this involvement for all candidates” – Ministerial Fellowship Committee
