Join your Board of Directors in imagining the near and distant future of UUCCSM. This opportunity only happens once every 5-10 years. We are in our fourth year of Rev. Rebecca’s settled ministry. We are looking to honor, by making use of, the remarkable legacy gifts of Drew Still and Judy Federick. Our Long Range Planning Committee is urging us to work towards balance between spiritual depth, community and social justice in the life of our church. It’s time to think about what you really value: what you want more of, what you want less of, and what you love just the way it is. It’s all happening NOW in October, 2013.Sign up in Forbes Hall after both services, or email Nurit Gordon in the office with your choice of times.

We welcome all newcomers and drop-in visitors to our Visitor Meetup, usually held on the first Sunday of the month at 12:30 after the second service. Check the Order of Service for any updates. We also have informal Visitor Meetups in Forbes Hall during our inter-hour, on the right-hand couch area. If you come late, ask for Sarah Robson. We will answer your curious questions as best we can – what is Unitarian Universalism, what is our mission, what are our ethical principles, the history of our church, our programs, and how to become involved. Along with our own stories, you will also be given the opportunity to share with us your story, what you are searching for, and how you found us. Refreshments will be provided.
