A graduate of Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago, Roger Jones served for 10 years as Minister for the UU Fellowship in Sunnyvale, California. Seeking new challenges and opportunities, he became Interim Minister at the Minnesota Valley UU Fellowship in Bloomington. Fortunately for us, as Roger completed his Interim year, we were starting our search for a consulting minister and Roger applied. With strong interests in a number of areas, including family ministry, children's religious education, youth work and worship, Roger's focus this first year will emphasize ministering to the congregation, especially our children, youth and families; assessing the effectiveness of existing and new, innovative programs to strengthen our Religious Education and outreach to children and youth; engaging us in conversations about what we are seeking for our families; and advising us on programs and staffing that would best meet our needs in the immediate future.
