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 Newsletter or the online blogs – please use the Newsletter Submission Form – These are longer news items that typically do not 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 informational 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. Proof reading and editing (for clarity, conciseness, and grammatical correctness) may take place.

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, and 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).
