    Crucial Conversations and Interim Ministry - Rev. Doug Bixby. Episode 111

    It seems that Settled Ministers and the Interim Ministers who preceded them don’t often have much to say to each other.

In this episode titled, “Crucial Conversations and Interim Ministry,” Rev. Doug Bixby, the settled Senior Minister at First Church of Christ in Longmeadow, MA (UCC) and Rev. Jim Latimer, the Intentional Interim Minister who preceded him, share how they navigated their conversations and the specific benefits reaped by both of the pastors as well as the congregation’s ministry.

    How We Developed a Communication Plan to Clarify Our Congregation’s Mission – Rev. Tom Hathaway. Episode 109

    Creating a clear, simple statement of mission or purpose for a congregation is no easy feat, and the envy of every pastor I know is that their parishioners embrace it so well that they can share it by heart in their own words in a variety of situations. In this episode titled, “How We Developed a Communication Plan to Clarify Our Congregation’s Mission,” small church pastor Rev. Tom Hathaway shares how they discovered three deeply resonant traits of the congregation and used them to guide ministry messaging both externally and internally in compelling and efficient ways.

    Building Multigenerational Community: How We Found the Balance - Rev. Allison Palm & Sadie Kahn-Greene. Episode 108

    Multigenerational thriving is the dream of every pastor for their congregation. And yet, it doesn’t happen simply by bringing people together. Rather, it results from having evolved a good strategy through careful listening and negotiating the needs and interests of people in their various stages of life. In this episode titled, “Building Multigenerational Community: How We Found the Balance,” part 2 of the multigen series with Rev. Allison Palm and Sadie Kahn-Greene, they share specifics about their strategy and programming that is making authentic and joyful multigenerational community a reality for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua. Coming out of COVID, the challenge we had was, How can we learn how to be in community together again when we haven't been together in a while? How can we welcome in new folks who are joining us so that they can get to know the community? And how can we help our community get to know our newer members?  Sadie Kahn-Greene explains the decision to focus on having fun together as a congregation in the spring of 2023. The congregation organized multi-generational events like game nights, a talent show, and a camping trip to foster interaction across age groups. The success of these events led to the introduction of more age-specific events to cater to different needs and preferences. The introduction of circle dinners and kids' movie nights allowed for both multi-generational and age-specific connections.

    Multigenerational Worship: How We Found the Balance & What It Looks like - Rev. Allison Palm & Sadie Kahn-Green. Episode 107

    Many pastors say that multigenerational worship is important, yet admit that finding a healthy balance between togetherness and separateness is elusive. In this episode titled, “Multigenerational Worship: How We Found the Balance, and What It Looks Like,” Rev. Allison Palm and Sadie Kahn-Green of the Unitarian Universality Church in Nashua, NH, share their journey of innovation and discovery to finding a format that works well for their congregation and why. It has been a journey of trying to figure out what it is we want our Sunday mornings to look like, and what really serves our community, which is a very multigenerational one. Multigenerational - all together all the time -  worship was the ideal I believed in for faith formation when I started my ministry here 10 years ago. I don’t believe that anymore; Rather, through authentic experimentation and deep listening, this is the format that does work for us… Why a consistent rhythm of programming is important and what ours looks like; The Wonder Box & Switch-it-up Sundays For a transcript of this episode, please visit the Coachingforinterims.com website.
