The Beacon Is Evolving: Introducing The Beacon Blog

After years of delivering news, stories, and updates to our community, The Beacon is evolving. The May issue will be our last in its current format — there will be no June or July editions — but this is not an ending. It’s a transformation. We know it may feel like the close of a chapter, and in many ways, it is. The Beacon has been a beloved constant, and we honor everything it has represented. Rest assured, the archives will remain available, so no memory is lost.

Starting in August, we are thrilled to introduce The Beacon Blog — a dynamic, digital home for our community’s stories. This new format frees us from the constraints of monthly deadlines and word limits, allowing contributors to share news and updates the moment they happen. Information will reach you faster, more directly, and more often. If you’ve ever had something to share but missed a deadline or felt squeezed by a word count, those barriers are gone. You can still submit your articles and announcements to beacon@uucb.org — the process is the same, just without the calendar pressure. The blog will be found right where you’ve always gone: uucb.org/the-week-ahead-at-uucb/beacon-on-the-hill-newsletter (look for an updated link as we transition to The Beacon Blog). The spirit of The Beacon lives on — just with a little more room to breathe.
