Welcome to the Harbor Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Vision & Mission Statement Update

The HUUC board will lead the congregation in crafting vision and mission statements. The current mission/vision statements are insufficient. They are neither memorable nor inspirational.

Several previous attempts have not succeeded. Therefore the board has come up with a time-bound approach that will give us a vision of where the congregation will go and how we'll get there. Beginning immediately you'll have multiple ways to participate in the process.

While participation is optional, it's essential those with ideas come forward. The more participants the better the process. You'll be able to contribute your suggestions in multiple ways including contributing to our website, and a project that will also help our 50th anniversary celebration.

Then in January the board will host a session to shape the ideas into a concise plan for the future. Multiple sessions will be held if needed. By March a small team will be crafting the language. The statements will be short-approximately 50 words total-written in simple, direct language.

At the annual meeting in May we'll vote on the new statements. This will assure that HUUC begins year 51 with a clear bridge to future accomplishments.

Please contact any board member, Nana’, or me if you have ideas regarding this vital task. Also, you may email me at ike@ikestephenson.com, phone me at 231-343-2518 or write your suggestions down and put them in my mailbox at HUUC. Look for more information on the process in a December service. That day we'll have an interactive opportunity for the congregation to help with the vision process and the 50th anniversary.
