Membership

The "M-Team" coordinates the set-up of our Fellowship Coffee Hour to ensure that it is a friendly and nurturing environment for all.  We have a Welcome Table in place to welcome visitors to our congregation.  At least one member of the M-Team is available each Sunday to greet our visitors and answer any questions they may have regarding our congregation and/or Unitarian Universalism.  The M-Team offers new visitors at Sunday service the opportunity to fill out a Visitor Card and then follows up by sending a welcome letter from our minister.

In addition, the M-Team works closely with our minister in scheduling and organizing Orientation Classes, which are informal gatherings of people interested in learning more about UUism and our congregation and New Member Sundays which formally and warmly welcome new members into UUCP.  The M-Team maintains a directory of members and friends, and updates are sent out semi-annually to the congregation.

Caring Connections is that part of our team that reaches out to those in need within our congregation. We send cards to members and friends that have experienced a significant event in their lives (e.g. an illness, the arrival of a child), or just to say hello if we haven't seen you in a while.

To foster connections within the congregation we schedule events such as the Welcome Back Picnic at the beginning of the church year and Circle Suppers which are intimate dinners where members and friends meet at each other's home to share a meal, conversation and laughter.
