Join with UUs from across Colorado and Wyoming to share, learn, and deepen your faith
Designed for anyone involved in the church in any way
Last year we had 110 people from 13 congregations, and folks raved about how great it was to be together.  It helped all our Leadership Development Councils offer support to current volunteers and cultivate new ones.  This is our chance to do that again!
