YARN Worship Series: May 2021
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the YARN worship team and the UU Mental Health Network will be leading a mental health-centered service for people of all ages on May 16 at 5 pm pacific time / 8 pm eastern time. This service won’t be all doom and gloom; it will include real, frank discussions of mental health. Join us, and come ready to open your heart for your UU young adult community.
JOIN THE WORSHIP TEAM. YARN organizes monthly worship by and for UU young adults, held on the third Sunday of the month. The worship team meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month to plan the following worship service. If you want to be apart of the Worship Planning Team, email rbiggs@uuma.org.
Small Group Open House
We will have a monthly open Small Group Ministry for anyone who is interested. Participants will gather, be split up into small groups, and do a session together, bonding and reflecting on the theme. If you want to meet with a regular group more often, complete our small group intake form and we'll see if we can connect you with a group.

Young Adult Religious Professionals Community Space
Join your colleagues to create space to build connections, meet each other, get advice, and be in community. This is a space for any young adult (18-35) who serves as a religious professional (generous definition) in any capacity in the Unitarian Universalist faith. This includes folks who serve churches, work in UU organizations, or otherwise take denominational leadership. We are excited to come together to meet each other and share fellowship. Hosted by Martha Durkee-Neuman and Joe Chapot

Black UU Young Adult Gathering
Black Unitarian Universalist Young Adults (BUUYA) across North America gather every first Wednesday to hang out, get to know each other, and thrive in an exclusively Black UU young adult space.
Practically, there will be a chalice lighting, a check in, and participants will spend time discovering what the BUUYA communal needs are. We look forward to seeing you! Please share with Young Adults in your UU circles.
By and for Black UU young adults. Organized by Donovan Hayden, Mya Wade-Harper, and Kamila Jacobs.
Countering Oppression
We are a group of privileged UUs working together to dismantle white supremacy and oppression in ourselves and the world around us. We read literature and listen to podcasts together, talk with each other about what we see and what is happening in our own lives, and hold community to support one another. We meet at 8pm ET on the first Wednesday of every month.
If you are interested in joining us, please join our GroupMe to get the meeting Zoom links, other information for upcoming meetings, and to engage with other people in the group.
UU Young Adult Ministry Professionals Call
Tuesday, June 8
5:00pm ET/ 2:00pm PT
If you work for a Unitarian Universalist organization and are responsible for a young adult ministry, then you are invited to connect with your peers on our monthly support call! This call is for professionals, those who are employed by UU organizations, be they congregations, regional groups, national bodies, or some other kind of entity. We spend the hour sharing about our programs, working on challenges, stepping back to take in the big picture, and laugh at the incongruous things we encounter while trying to create young adult ministry.
If you want to attend, please email with your name, where you work, your job title, and what young adult, emerging adult, campus ministry program you are responsible for.
