How to Become a Member
If you are considering membership, this is what you do. First ask for a New Member packet from the Greeter at the Welcome Table out front. Then, join our next Path to Membership class. Our class isn't mandatory, but it is fun and informative. You'll have the opportunity to get to know our minister, have your questions answered, and learn more about our faith and this dynamic church. We'll offer a light supper and childcare if needed.
For newcomers who don't feel ready for the Path Class, we invite you to meet and visit with our minister at 12:00 noon on the first Sunday of the month here in the sanctuary. This is an informal time to ask questions and learn about Unitarian Universalism. This gathering is called Getting to Know Us and that's just what we hope you'll do!

August Membership Report
Membership Committee
The membership committee will be distributing a simple survey to recruit members and friends to perform certain tasks for the operations of the congregation. The volunteer opportunities are being the Sunday morning greeter, making coffee for the after-church coffee hour, serving at Supper House, and being the sound technician for a Sunday service.
Part of the survey gives you the opportunity to tell us about your interests and talents and work experience with an eye to matching your "resume" to other volunteer needs of the congregation such as gardening, cooking, office/computer work, fundraising, working with children, etc.
We hope to reach as many members and friends as possible with this survey. The form will be included in the order of service for the next two or three weeks and distributed via email/mail. The information received will be 1) used to fashion a volunteer calendar showing who is to be coffee person or sound technician and the like on future Sundays, and 2) distributed to the various committees and task forces that seem to be appropriate avenues for your stated interests and abilities.
We intend to have all this systematized and running by September of this year. As this is going to take considerable time and effort to bring about, we urge everyone to get their completed forms back to us as soon as possible. Completed forms can be brought to church and left at the welcome table in the basket marked "COMPLETED FORMS", or mailed to the church, marked "attention membership".
Dates will be assigned arbitrarily and then adjusted as your personal conflicts are considered. Reminders of your work dates will be sent by e-mail if possible, otherwise by postcard. Thank you for your cooperation.
