    Hello fellow UU Campus Ministry Leaders,

    We are putting together an application to do a workshop at GA 2014. We are still working on the title and looking for presenters – story contributors – and references

    The Title will be something like the following:

    Extending Congregational Small Group Ministry to “Mind The Gap”
    or
    Congregational Small Group Ministry Reaching Out to Campus, Café’s & Beyond

    Givens:
    – UU ministry for bridgers is scant (resource constrained)
    – Most sustained UU Campus Ministries include modified SGM lead by paid staff.
    – Small Group Ministry (SGM) is strong in our congregations

    What can a congregation with a small group ministry do to address the “other side of the bridge?”

    – Create SGM on campuses and other locations (Cafés, Taverns, etc.) that are attractive to young adults. Meet consistently.
    – Use current congregational SGM facilitator training and support infrastructure
    – Offer free food
    – Provide a SGM structured opportunity for Deep Listening
    – Encourage “drop-in” attendance
    – Provide access to Pastoral Care
    – Include occational social action, service and fun activities

    Let us know ASAP if you would like to join this effort.
