After many successful summers at its Wisconsin location on the campus of Beloit College, MidWest Leadership School (MWLS) will take place this coming summer on the campus of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, from July 9-15, 2017. <br><br> MWLS creates opportunities to learn about Unitarian Universalism, about themselves as individuals and as members of congregations in a larger movement grounded in liberal theology. MWLS attendees come away from the experience with a better understanding of healthy organizational practices. This week-long intensive program is offered separately and yet collaboratively for adults and for youth, and seeks to provide its attendees with an experience of acceptance and love that transforms and inspires.<br><br><img src="http://files.constantcontact.com/85f44957001/1ff0cf0c-84fb-4e6a-9a1b-776657a2095e.png" alt="" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.398" width="124" height="87" align="left" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5">Is MWLS for you? A 2016 participant said that the program provided extremely helpful insights into the history of Unitarian Universalism, as well as an understanding of the ways current issues move today's congregations. The well-structured program of input, application and reflection provides a varied approach that appeals to diverse learning styles. Another participant was especially pleased to find the creation of intergenerational worship effectively modeled and implemented. MWLS is an experience rich in ideas for participants to take home to their current or future leadership roles. <br><br>Read more about MidWest Leadership School at <a style="color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001tfDrplTWn0FhP5o9mjS9maBRZIeVrdTsVMGrYQEnmwySXlc0u89xJEMlKTR3oQltMmFAV0NzaieHIJcMlvXfcsUw8Xvt-fQFs9CTcPhj-Ah_CzSQlQxLxZV0s9r8fPA3CCFiLY23IwWgi69VrDfgj-hHBBXKBci8&c=-1qn4WNLgxT9IjisHiS5qRV3C671BhfC_FNoBj1GtN8tQj0f49i7WA==&ch=m_qE_TVG_O3FDTVpmayNzz-qdk9noRLZetX_GqworWTDu_cYwgIfnA==" shape="rect" target="_blank">www.mwls.org</a> and follow us on Facebook for updates at <a style="color: #00accd; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001tfDrplTWn0FhP5o9mjS9maBRZIeVrdTsVMGrYQEnmwySXlc0u89xJNlL0M4ZuEqqa8MKWSA4_vjExZi_DplB21VIQ8G73N2-c7qjsY67kH46LUD8BlscGSbxDEYBc5L2oLt-y0FHT3l22dmWb0WLBN6yYayn78PXs1bsgiYLfQjJV7cLPJfrlg==&c=-1qn4WNLgxT9IjisHiS5qRV3C671BhfC_FNoBj1GtN8tQj0f49i7WA==&ch=m_qE_TVG_O3FDTVpmayNzz-qdk9noRLZetX_GqworWTDu_cYwgIfnA==" shape="rect" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/mwls.org</a> <br><br></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table id="content_LETTER.BLOCK29" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="ImageDivider ImageDividerColor FooterText" style="background-color: #00accd; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; color: #ffffff; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#00ACCD"><div><img style="display: block;" src="http://files.constantcontact.com/85f44957001/fe3f87a5-e440-486e-89fb-57d2e12f3cb7.jpg" alt="" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.238" width="650" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0"></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table id="content_LETTER.BLOCK47" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="Content MainText" style="padding: 7px 36px 7px 36px; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left" valign="top"><div><img src="http://files.constantcontact.com/85f44957001/0b6333c7-d230-4a59-b2e9-24947b1d9275.jpg" alt="" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.393" width="568" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5"> <br><div class="HeadingText" style="color: #ab1b42; font-size: 18pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans-serif;"><em><a name="section4" shape="rect"></a><img title="section4" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/ui/images1/s.gif" alt="section4">UU Partner Church Council Pilgrimages to Transylvania</em></div><div class="SubheadingText" style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans-serif;">Rev. Roger Bertschausen, Executive Director of the Unitarian Universalist Partner Church Council</div><br>Want to go to Transylvania to see the important Unitarian historic sites such as the place where the Edict of Torda was debated and the cell where the imprisoned Francis David died? Want to know some of our Transylvanian Unitarian kinfolk? The UU Partner Church Council invites you to join in one of its two public pilgrimage offerings in 2017:<br><br><strong>Cross Cultural Transylvania Pilgrimage (on a budget) in August 2017</strong>: Experience Transylvania alongside Khasi Unitarians from NE India! The Unitarian Union of NE India has asked the UUPCC to organize a pilgrimage for its members, and they want to share their journey with you. Two weeks visiting the historic Unitarian places, medieval cities, castles, and enjoying the pastoral beauty of central Transylvania - all for less than $100/day.<br><br><strong>Transylvania Thanksgiving Pilgrimage in September 2017</strong>: Two life-changing weeks in Transylvania for under $1,150! This is the same quality Unitarian pilgrimage that the UUPCC has been facilitating for two decades - but at 60% of the price. Beginning and ending in Kolozsvar/Cluj, this tour will visit the most significant of the Unitarian holy sites. You will spend the special Transylvanian Thanksgiving weekend with your partner congregation, making new friends and revitalizing your partnership. If you do not have a partner in Transylvania, the UUPCC will arrange for you to stay in one of the many beautiful Unitarian villages with other pilgrims. In addition to the Transylvania Pilgrimage, there is also an optional 4 day/3 night pre-trip Budapest extension, and a 6 day/5 night post trip extension to Maramures & the Painted Monasteries of Bucovia.<br><br>For information on these pilgrimages, visit <a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001tfDrplTWn0FhP5o9mjS9maBRZIeVrdTsVMGrYQEnmwySXlc0u89xJNlL0M4ZuEqqRf2nLgIoBGaqwv4xYw9Wbgsig6E1jzMp7HiL07k1LwzmVwlGKYtY0mDMcbD6eTU4Kh5zW5ytgya9VeJVSn08V4jhV49JcMaa_IvK61MoVudBWtVA4KRowpRQqAttSQoJnXAT3R0OvjljQGNObKmXPvSyNCwlXXbZ&c=-1qn4WNLgxT9IjisHiS5qRV3C671BhfC_FNoBj1GtN8tQj0f49i7WA==&ch=m_qE_TVG_O3FDTVpmayNzz-qdk9noRLZetX_GqworWTDu_cYwgIfnA==" shape="rect" target="_blank">http://www.uupcc.org/pilgrimages/pilgrimage-opportunities</a> or call (314) 918-2618.<br> <a href="#top" shape="rect"><img src="http://files.constantcontact.com/85f44957001/7c509b72-da8d-48f2-ac0c-02a6cd08a597.png" alt="" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.396" width="26" height="24" align="right" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5"></a></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table id="content_LETTER.BLOCK29" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="ImageDivider ImageDividerColor FooterText" style="background-color: #00accd; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; color: #ffffff; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#00ACCD"><div><img style="display: block;" src="http://files.constantcontact.com/85f44957001/fe3f87a5-e440-486e-89fb-57d2e12f3cb7.jpg" alt="" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.238" width="650" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0"></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table id="content_LETTER.BLOCK49" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="Content MainText" style="padding: 7px 36px 7px 36px; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="left" valign="top"><div><img src="http://files.constantcontact.com/85f44957001/686cbc80-63a2-4c65-9c94-473504cc9968.jpg" alt="" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.379" width="140" height="186" align="right" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5"> <br><div class="HeadingText" style="color: #ab1b42; font-size: 18pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans-serif;"><em><a name="section5" shape="rect"></a><img title="section5" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/ui/images1/s.gif" alt="section5">UU Theology and Adult Faith Development Renaissance Modules</em></div><div class="SubheadingText" style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,Sans-serif;">Nancy Combs-Morgan, Congregational Life Consultant</div><br>We have our hybrid Adult Faith Development Renaissance Module registration up on our MidAmerica website.

They will meet and give witness to the firsthand stories of men and women who participated in the Civil Rights Movement, individuals who were the exact same ages as our youth when fully engaged in the Civil Rights Movement.<br> <br>It is the vision of the LLP Youth Civil Rights Pilgrimage to create a connection with youth to the history of racial justice in the United States -- so that they too, can become actively engaged in the Unitarian Universalist racial justice movement of today.
