RA “Shorts”
Regional Assembly calls for Shorts. Selected short videos will be made available to all who participate in Regional Assembly 2022. Some may be used in RA programming, some will be available for viewing leading into the weekend and some will be available for participants to use in a future worship service.

• Natural beauty near your home, or a short nature trail
• A great congregational program to share with others.
• A song or Story for All ages that you have the rights to play & share
• Maybe you want to update us on a bit of cluster news.
• A chalice lighting – reading & lighting

Here is a great format for just that kind of communication. We are not seeking commercial submissions. Professional film crews are not needed. Cell phone or Zoom videos are often very good. Regional Assembly is our joint gathering-won’t you contribute? Details and submissions.

RA Sunday Morning Worship
This worship is an embodied, multi-generational service focusing on unity and interdependence. It is a testimony, embracing the power and possibility of regionalization — that is, combining resources and congregations to better and more equitably serve our “community of communities” stretching from Western Nebraska through Alaska and down to Hawaii. Told in four voices, this service is built upon a parable of four rivers converging as they bring nutrients and gifts to a life-giving flow much larger than each of them. It is a “both/and” story of interweaving threads to create a new tapestry of relationships and a new culture. It is a story that mirrors Unitarian Universalism, a movement founded through the combining of two strong religious traditions, from which a strong new entity emerged. Would your congregation like to use this worship as your own? Materials list and video links will be made available in January. Watch this space for details.
