Overview of Leadership Resource Page.

There are many platforms to get your information out to UUCM members, friends and the greater community.

For ARTICLES: to go into the monthly Mountain Chalice or the online blogs – please use the Mtn Chalice Newsletter Form – These are longer news items that typically do not have dates/times (events) associated with them.

For ANNOUNCEMENTS: to go into our weekly email, social media, website or Sunday slides – please use the Announcement Form. These are events or shorter news pieces. Your announcement will be placed in every suitable publication that you request for which the deadline has not yet passed.

You will be contacted if there are any questions or missing information. Our Admin may edit and revise for clarity, length, and grammar/conventions.

The following communication platforms are available to publicize a UUCM activity, event, or another newsworthy item.

Note: The intention is to promote items where requested, taking into account space limitations as well as sensitivity to communication saturation.

Choose where the item should be posted when the form is submitted.

• The Website: Listed on the calendar, the blogs, or as an announcement
• The Mountain Chalice: The monthly pdf newsletter
• The e-Chalice: The weekly email
• Sunday Slides: Shown during the Sunday morning Service (number is limited).
• Social Media: UUCM Facebook and Instagram Pages – feel free to follow and like us – then SHARE our posts to help promote us to the greater community

Note that it is best to submit early to ensure there is time to adequately share and collect all relevant information and materials.

Your role is to ensure that your group/team/committee’s information is up to date. If any information needs to be changed on the website, for events, or who receives the group email please follow the info below.

• Keep your website group/team/committee page current by reviewing them at least once a year. Simply submit any updates by using the Update My Website Form.
• Keep your group’s email recipient current so the right person is receiving them. Email updates to admin@uugrassvalley.org
• Use the Announcement Form or Article Form to publicize your events or announcements.

What if something changes (date, time, location, cancelled) after submitting my announcement?

We understand that changes happen. Please use the Update My Announcement form to submit your changes as soon as you know of them so we can update any announcements right away.
