The AVUUF will be embarking starting this next Sunday on 3 programs developed by UU leaders that will take us through the winter interspersed with some other programs. Each program is divided into a number of workshops which will be presented by various members and by me. If you want to lead a workshop let someone on the board know and we will arrange it. All programs are interactive and we will do various activities, writing, small group, discussion etc.

These 3 programs are:
