Dear UUs of the Pacific Western Region,
We are incredibly excited to showcase to you our program offerings for the upcoming Regional Assembly, happening April 10-12, 2026 in Sacramento, CA and online! We’ll have programs for all ages: an on-site children’s program led in collaboration with the UU Society of Sacramento, and a program for high school youth with times for huddling and times for joining in the programs with the adults. On Sunday, we’ll close with worship with our host congregation.
Here’s what we’ve got cooking for workshops, all excellent ingredients for you and your people to RISE RESILIENT! (All workshops are multiplatform unless otherwise indicated.)
