Second-Year Offerings

Process: Second-Year Offerings 
 Overview 
 Second-year Wellspring offerings (Sacred Arts, Faithful Action, etc.) are self-facilitating groups for Sources graduates. The WSLT discerns interest, coordinates enrollment, and provides initial support, but the groups themselves share facilitation responsibilities. 
 Curriculum Options 
 Check UU Wellspring for current second-year program descriptions. Past offerings at Foothills have included Sacred Arts and Faithful Action. 
 Timeline 
 January: WSLT discerns whether there is interest in a second-year offering and which curriculum might be offered, with input from current Sources facilitators and past participants. 
 March: Once Sources facilitators are finalized, WSLT surveys WS grads and current Sources participants to measure interest. Creates or updates second-year enrollment form. 
 April: If offering is planned, WSLT emails WS Sources grads with curriculum details and enrollment link. 
 May: WSLT finalizes participant roster and notifies participants. 
 June: WSLT notifies participants of group assignments if necessary. Church staff builds PCO groups. 
 June/July: WSLT emails self-facilitating groups with their curriculum-specific password and encouragement to begin forming. 
 August: WSLT offers encouragement as needed for groups to schedule first session. 
 October: WSLT offers ongoing support/encouragement if needed. 
 Self-Facilitating Group Expectations 
 Each participant shares in facilitation responsibilities. Groups are encouraged to: 
 
 Identify a volunteer to take administrative lead for the first session or two 
 Establish a covenant during the first session 
 Take turns sending out session assignments, making room/zoom reservations, facilitating sessions, and recording attendance 
 Meet bimonthly on a day and time determined by the group
