In 1990
Prairie Star
District UUA, recognizing that only a
few large congregations can afford the service of ministers and fully
accredited religious
education directors, adopted a Commissioned Lay
Leadership
program to meet the needs of smaller congregations to have trained
leadership.
Karen Kress was the first
Lay Leader to be commissioned by the Prairie Star District. She was first
commissioned in the fall of 1994 and we recommissioned every three years.
She retired in the spring of 2009.
