Review from the 2011 workshop in San Diego:
The Rev. Jason Shelton led members of the First UU Church of San Diego in an excellent and inspiring series of events the weekend of Feb. 5-6, 2011. His worship workshop “Towards a More Profound Alleluia” both engaged and stimulated us to think more deeply about UU Worship and to see how our mission and values take life in the way we construct and live out worship. I heartily recommend Jason as a workshop leader/clinician/resident guru and suggest inviting him for a residency in your congregation or cluster. If you wish to hear his sermon “With Hearts and Hands and Voices,” you will find it on our congregation’s website: www.firstuusandiego.org/sermons-2011.
