New Religious Educator in Your Congregation? The UUA has PR resources for you!

If you are beginning a new job in religious education this year, congratulations! This is a unique opportunity to introduce yourself to the local community, raise awareness of the congregation that you are serving, and attract new visitors to your congregation for worship and religious education. 

The UUA has public relations materials for you and your congregation, including:

* A step-by-step guide to publicizing your arrival.

* Sample press relations materials from the beginning of Rev. Fred Small's ministry at the First Parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2008.

* Sample media coverage from 2007-2008 of new ministers and directors of religious education in Unitarian Universalist congregations.

All of these resources can be found at
