UUBRidge Committees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

UUBRidge committees do much of the work of our congregation. While we are always looking for people with experience or expertise in the specific domain of each committee, those wishing to learn are also very welcome.  If you\u2019re interested in serving on one of our committees, check with the committee chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congregational Services Committee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This committee is responsible for overseeing all phases of our Sunday morning services. This includes seeking out potential speakers, reviewing proposals for services, and distributing essential information each week to those who promote, plan, provide music for, and lead services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meetings are held monthly on a mutually agreed upon date. If you have an idea for a service or would like to serve on the committee, please contact the chair, Madlyn Bynum, at madlynbynum@gmail.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership & Hospitality Committee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This committee is responsible for finding and welcoming members and helping them to find a spiritual home with us. We maintain a membership table to provide information about Unitarian Universalism as a whole and UUBRidge in particular, arrange for Fellowship Dinners on the last Saturday of each month, inviting you to relax and get to know one another at a local restaurant by sharing a meal with family and friends. Help is always welcome for setup and cleanup before and after Sunday services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
