Training & Support

Midland Unitarian Association of Lay Preachers & Service Leaders

Founded 1897

Our aim is to provide support and training to lay people leading services in the Midland Unitarian Association.

Most of our congregations continue to rely on lay members and visiting worship leaders for their regular acts of worship, and members of this Association continue to make a vital contribution to this. During 2023, our members led over 200 services.

2024 Training Courses

Finding our Centre: Exploring Different Ways to Meditate

The Midland Unitarian Association is offering an enjoyable afternoon, giving you the opportunity to experience various different meditational practices for themselves… The practices will be set up in three different rooms, in timed sessions, so there will be ample chance to try each of them: walk a labyrinth, participate in sensory exploration, do a traditional seated meditation, or lectio divina (sacred reading).

We are also planning some social time in the middle of the afternoon, plus a shared meal at the beginning, so that you are able to spend time with old friends and make new ones…

Where:Unitarian New Meeting, 31, Ryland St, Birmingham B16 8BL
Date:Saturday 19th October 2024
Time:12.00 noon to 4.00 pm
Cost:FREE (to people from MUA congregations)

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, but please bring your own packed lunch.
