More about this session
Specifically, we'll work on video outlines and scripts for:

1. Welcome Video for First Time Visitor Pages
This is a video of a member of your welcome team or a staff member talking to a newcomer directly on camera which you'll embed on your website's first time visitor page. Potential visitors benefit from your leaders meeting them where they are (online) and welcoming them, affirming them, and orienting them to the process you recommend they use to get connect and get involved.

2. Meet the Minister Videos
If you have a minister, people want to know who they are and what they are like before they visit. Not after -- before!!! People are less likely to visit unitl they connect personally with with the minister. That's why so many people visit after weddings and funerals. They have a "Oh, I can do this if so and so is the minister..." moment. You need to give every person researching your congregation that moment on-demand with video. I'll share what I'd include.

This session is brought to you by our UU Growth Lab member program. During this session, I'll work with those ready and eager to take action on video content to support online visitors and Fall membership develop!

Unitarian Universalist friends and colleagues -- last call to RSVP for Tuesday's live UU Growth Lab session on "Practical AI for Congregations"

Not only can AI support your work and ministry in practical ways, understanding AI is what I'd call a new prerequisite for leading in today's world. It is as big as the internet, social media, smartphones, and the invention of the printing press rolled into one. Whether you like it or not, it is a core dimension of the context within which you are leading.
