June 22-26
General Assembly is the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists, where we conduct business of the Association, explore the theological underpinnings of our faith, and lean fully into our mission and principles. Please join us June 22-26 in Portland, Oregon and online for this 5-day immersive experience where we participate in inspirational worship services and informative workshops, reconvene with friends and colleagues, and explore our bustling exhibit hall. You’ll leave with renewed energy and innovative ideas to share with your congregation and community-at-large! You can learn more and register at uua.org/ga.
