Have You Ever Thought About Being a Worship Associate?
A huge thank you to our wonderful Worship Associates for March: Penny Reid, Nancy Murrey-Settle, Blanche Williams, and Meg Rohal. We have a dedicated cohort of WA’s, but could use a few more to add to the list. This is a great way to serve UUCJ occasionally, and it’s interesting and…
Membership Chair Needed
Our Membership Committee is in need of a new chair. The Membership Committee is vital to growing our UUCJ community—they serve as a friendly face to new visitors and provide them with information on UUCJ and how to become members.

In Need of Technical Assistance
