Worship Studies Course Foundation Step
A course in conducting high quality Unitarian Worship
Hello. As you may know the Western Union were planning to run this course - first on a face to face basis last year and then when the pandemic arrived we were hoping to run it on zoom this year. We have now postponed the Western Union version as Unitarian College are running two versions of this same course. All the details are below. If you are interested please book your place as soon as possible as places will be filling up. If, after the Unitarian College courses have been completed there are still people in our district who want to do this course we will look again at running it later in the year - either on zoom or face to face. Thanks, John
