We offer New Member Signing Ceremonies on the first Sunday of each month. Go here to fill out an online form to indicate your intention to join the church and RSVP for a ceremony. Our Director of Membership will send you information about the ceremony. You will sign the Membership Book, receive information about our Welcoming Conversations, and the tentative date of our next New Member Recognition where you will be officially welcomed by the congregation and invited to a dinner or lunch with other new members from the last several months. 12:00 pm: Young Adults12:00 pm: Young Adults – Our UU Young Adults gather for friendship, spirituality, and fun twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Sundays following the 11:00 am in-person worship service.

Expectations for those who attend extend from just listening to participating fully. We cherish honesty and openness, confidentiality, integrity, and compassion. |
