1. As many of you know, I am a big fan of Brené Brown and her teaching on shame, resilience, vulnerability, and gratitude. I find it helpful and challenging. (I’ve even taken her online parenting class, which was really useful.) Dr. Brown, an Episcopalian, has come out with a new book that looks at how we lead. Since many of us are leaders in our churches, in our communities, or within UTO, I felt like this would be a great book to read and then discuss together as a group via Zoom. The book is just under 300 pages, and I know we all read at different rates, so go get the book today and then we’ll gather in January to discuss it. I look forward to reading the book and hearing your thoughts! If you aren’t familiar with Brené Brown, be sure to check out her TED talks (https://www.ted.com/speakers/brene_brown)to get you started. The webinar will be held on Wednesday, January 23 at 6 p.m. Eastern time. See login information below.
2. UTO Database: At General Convention, we launched our brand-new membership database. Thank you to everyone who has already uploaded their current information! This database will help us track which congregations are participating in UTO and better communicate with members and leaders. With that said, the database is only as good as the data in it, so we need your help to keep it current. Please use this link to upload your information or to update it whenever there are any changes in your life or in the leadership of UTO in your parish or diocese. Please follow this link to register and/or update your information: https://unitedthankoffering.membershiptoolkit.com/login?r=%2Fdirectory.
