» CSD searchation |

hey all, I'm on the search committee here in the CMWD for a new Congregational Services Director, and basically I wanted to get people's opinions on what they think a CSD needs.the real short version of what a CSD does is:Committed to anti-oppression and justice, Congregational Services supports the health, growth and transformation of congregations and individuals in fulfilling their mission.The UUA's Congregational Services support the health and growth of congregations and other Unitarian Universalist communities.please let me know either here or via e-mail (justinethekillerbunny@gmail.com)thanks so much, keep in mind that there are a few other districts in search of a new CSD so thinking about this could be a good idea even if you aren't in the CMWD area.peace and love, Justine.Jan. 8th, 2006 @ 04:16 pm(Leave a comment) |

I don't know how many camp kids read this thing, but I just wanted to let you know, Burt is definitely being razed. We are moving into Oak or Hickory. They are nicer, but smaller. Also, there will be 10 people per room. Its on main campus, so we will be in front of everyone. I've toured the building, so ask any questions you might have. Also, I will be taking pictures of Burt, and will have 'em up soon.Oct. 22nd, 2005 @ 08:39 pm(Leave a comment) |
