Women's Fellowship Envisioning Meeting

As we begin to think about how we want to be in community together as we emerge from the pandemic, you are invited to a “Victuals and Visioning” session around ministry that centers community who identify as women, genderfluid, genderqueer, and non-binary. 

We’ll meet in the shade structure, share scrumptious salads, and take stock of all the ways we’ve been gathering in ministry over the past few years. We’ll also consider how the eight elements of effective ministry figure into current and imagined offerings. This is a “get (re)acquainted gathering and brainstorming session.” Everyone and all ideas are welcome. Bring a salad if you can, or pick up a baguette or beverage to bring with you.

Green Living Fair

Celebrate Earth Sunday at the Green Living Fair at April 24

Join us for the April 24 Earth Sunday Service at 10:30am and then stay for the Green Living Fair in the Courtyard to learn how you can take Climate Action in your own home and community.  Learn about waterwise organic gardening, vegan and meatless recipes,  green home remodeling to save water and electricity and rediscover the joys of bicycling at our Bike Show.  We hope you can join us in person, but we'll have a roving Zoom camera person trying to capture the fun during Zoom Coffee Hour as well.

See you there!

Bylaws Refresh

One important task of our developmental ministry has been modernizing and refreshing our congregation's bylaws. A team of congregations leaders, chaired by Past President Patricia Wright, has been working diligently with our Developmental Minister for the past year to study UUA recommendations and the best practices of similar-sized UU congregations to draft refreshed bylaws. 
 
The Bylaws Refresh Task Force is happy to announce we have completed the first draft of proposed bylaws to be considered for adoption at the Annual Meeting in June. We would like to share the draft proposal with the congregation at two Bylaws Refresh Town Halls. We will provide information on the process we followed, the changes we're recommending, and we want to hear from you before we finalize the proposal.
