An Active Membership and Congregation - by Anabel Watson, Connections Coordinator
This past Sunday we welcomed four new members into our congregation! All four participated in last month’s Exploring UUCB course (click HERE to register for the March course), facilitated by Stuart Yoak and myself along with presentations by Reverend Grant and Drew Schrader. It is a joy to accompany folks on their journeys of learning about Unitarian Universalism and the UUCB Community, and a further joy to see some choose to officially make our community a religious home.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions relating to membership or engagement, whether you are looking for a social group to join or a way to volunteer and give back. I am available via email at connect@uubloomington.org and available to schedule a Connections Chat at a time that works for you. Below are a couple of areas where I am seeking further volunteers. I hope that these activities feel rewarding and meaningful for folks. Please let me know if you have an interest or any questions.
- Membership Anniversary Calls: each month, a team calls folks to congratulate them for joining membership in that month of a previous year. This experience can provide meaningful connection, gratitude for community and our faith, and spread smiles to those who keep our church running. If you feel you would make a great new team member, please reach out!
- Sunday Morning Volunteering: each week I send out reminder emails to all those subscribed to notifications on Java Crew, Flame Keeping, and Greeting (click to join each group). We can always use help in these areas. If you are looking for a way to help make Sundays more welcoming and lively, to have something tangible to do, to support the community and meet others, please join one of these groups!
It is a great joy to help this community thrive in connection. I am grateful to each one of you.
