Mornings
will include presentations, discussion and workshops;
evenings will have further optional programs and
related activities. Afternoons are for relaxing
on the beach, lounging on the porch, exploring
the environs through organized outings, and other
activities. Participants will have the unique
and uplifting opportunity of meeting daily in
a hands-on small group. The conference will be
especially effective for groups representing their
congregations and all are welcome.

Imagine
enjoying the beach, worshipping among the pines,
making new friends, sensing our history, and participating
in rejuvenating our Unitarian Universalist movement
with Small Group Ministry - all in a week this
summer!
Comments
From Last Year's Ferry Beach Attendees:
"The
staff of this workshop have such amazing gifts,
knowledge and excitement, that I want to see all
this more widely shared!"
"I'll
go back with ideas on how to design and implement
the SGM program in my congregation,
solid concepts and practical experience gleaned
from others."
"Thank
you, thank you. It was a powerful experience for
me personally and I'm looking forward to sharing
what I've learned with my congregation. Thank
you for all the work and care you took in putting
together a meaningful and practical conference."
"I'll
take home a great deal of wisdom and constructive
ideas to apply in our own SGM program."
"The
week more than met my expectations! I'll go back
with many, many things,
including the excitement gained about starting
a program."
"It
was great! Thank you so much. I believe in the
power of Small Group Ministry."
