Welcoming Worship -- Friday Night

Presented by the UUCO youth group. Get connected and inspired. Gathering together in a sacred space creates an avenue for experiencing the Divine and deepening personal and collective spirituality. The welcoming worship will set the tone for a weekend of learning, growing and leading.

YRUU Bees Wax Caucus -- Saturday Morning

First business meeting of the year. New to YRUU? Get insight into how YRUU is run and what resources are available to your local youth groups. New to district level YRUU? Learn the names and faces of the Youth Adult Committee (YAC) officers and what they can do for you. Have something to say? Represent your youth group and fill us in on your plans for the year and what you need. This is the time to make connections and get informed!

YRUU presents: Reaching Out and Going Deeper -- Saturday Afternoon

Hear from UU youth and adults who've participated in faith based immersion programs ranging from working on a local organic farm to a building project in Guatemala. This workshop highlights current opportunities and presents various models and a planning guide for creating new programs. A panel of experienced youth and adults will answer questions and provide tips for deepening and extending UU values through immersion programs.

Youth Assembly participants attend Annual Meeting Workshops. Details available here

Rally at the City Hall Steps

In response to the anti-LGBT remarks made by Apostle Boyd K. Packer at the LDS General Conference last weekend we will gather in the parking lot behind the Marriot Hotel and march as a group to Ogden City hall. We will sing and we will pray. We will walk to city hall because Ogden has been asked to adopt non-discrimination ordinances that would offer some protection from housing and employment discrimination based upon sexual orientation and gender identity.

Intergenerational Worship -- Saturday Evening

YRUU will be leading a worship for Youth Assembly and Annual Meeting attendees. If you would like to participate in the worship committee, please contact Jennica Davis, Youth Ministry Consultant at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
