Our Annual Meeting is the time that we conduct the business of our Fellowship. It provides an important opportunity for everyone to have a voice in our Fellowship. This year we will be electing two new board member and reviewing our finances. It is the place you can learn about the various committees and how to become involved in things that interest you
5/12: Celebration of New Members/My Experiences With Autism
Presenters: Margaret Kiihne & Lilia Civettini
Becoming a Member is a very personal choice in our Fellowship. Because we have no dogma, we do not ask you to “profess” your faith. We do expect that a Member honor our diverse liberal religious views, respect the Sources of our Living (ever-evolving) Tradition, and are in agreement with our 7 Principles. Members can vote at our Annual Meeting, serve on the Board, and receive the quarterly UUA magazine.
Lilia Civettini is a graduating senior from Riverway Learning Community. She will be working as a program assistant and unit counselor this summer at Camp Ehawee, and will be attending Winona State University in the fall. Lilia will be speaking on her experiences with autism and how the education system could change to better accommodate those on the spectrum.

5/19: In Defense of a Search for God
Presenter: Jac Miller; Coordinator: Gail Opatz
Is God there? Will God come? How Will God show up? These have been important questions for Jac as they have navigated the last few years as a student of theology and religion. Jacob will give a talk on their seminary experience at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, and how it has shaped them as an artist, an academic, and as a person in an everlasting search for God.
Jacob Miller (Jäc) is a very recent graduate of United Theological Seminary, where they received two Masters of Arts Degrees in Theology and Religion and Theology and the Arts. There, they focused on constructive and historic theologies, and the arts as a spiritual and devotional practice. Jäc has been a touring and teaching theatre artist in Minneapolis since graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2013.
