Right Relations Communications Skills Workshop- CANCELLED
Imagine a scenario where you know someone is mad at you but you’re not sure why. You’re uncomfortable with the tension between you and you want to initiate a conversation to try to clarify, repair and move on. What do you say? How do you ready yourself? How do we let go of any expectation that we can control another person’s thoughts or behavior and focus only on our own responsibility? This is a common situation in life and one with which most of us are lacking the skills to manage the emotions of these circumstances and the communication strategies to remain open and curious. But we all can LEARN! Come to the next Communications Skills Workshop on Thursday, May 10 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in Forbes Hall, to which all are invited. We will explore skills that will help us live into our Covenant of Right Relations. With our Covenant we are committing to caring, welcoming, communicating, apologizing, forgiving and striving to be as compassionate and kind as we are able. When we fall short, we will try to acknowledge our mistakes. This will most certainly be, at times, challenging and fulfilling and exciting and growthful. Join us to practice helpful skills as we move closer to congregation-wide adoption of this aspirational covenant.
You may read the Covenant on our church website: http://www.uusm.org/for-members/right-relations-task-force. You may also pick up a copy of the Covenant at the Right Relations table after each service.
Please sign up for the Workshop at the Right Relations table on Sunday. A member of our Right Relations Team will be glad to respond to your questions and chat with you about what’s happening in right relations these days. See you there!

Right Relations Covenant Workshop
We hope that all members of our UUSM community will take part in this Saturday's Covenant Workshop
from 9am-noon in the Sanctuary, with coffee and light breakfast starting at 8:30am.
This workshop, facilitated by our Right Relations consultant Nancy Edmundson, is an opportunity to shape our UUSM Covenant of Right Relations.
Join friends and fellow congregants for a stimulating morning of exploring covenant and working on our own UUSM Covenant of Right Relations.
To quote our minister Greg, “Being good is not coincidental. It is intentional, born out of becoming clear about who – and how – we want to be. A ‘covenant’ is simply a way to move into some intentionality regarding how we ‘agree to be together.’ It makes explicit our collective aspirations and calls us into collective accountability toward our ideals.”

Please join us for this meaningful and rewarding work!
