Community Events this Week

Pathways to Meaning & Membership Class
This class is designed to go over some of the basic history of Unitarian Universalism. It also helps you to better understand our congregation and see how you my deepen your involvement. It also is a great opportunity to meet others who are new to our church as well, but also have an interest in becoming more involved. While it is not required for membership, I highly recommend that you participate in this class as a first step to considering membership. The class is offered about once every six weeks or so and taught by our minister, Reverend Aaron Norris. The class takes about 90 minutes and follows a service. Class Dates are as Follows: August 11th, 2019.

Looking for way to contribute to UUCG on Sundays?
You don't have to speak in public or have the best voice in the world, as there are a number of ways in which you can help Unitarian Universaist Church of Greeley on Sundays.  
  • Bring a snack for coffee/volunteer - Our volunteers not only make the coffee but they often donate their own dollars for snacks for coffee. Your $$ donation for coffee time or snack donation can help offset those costs for our Coffee Hour volunteers.  You can also volunteer to make coffee and help with clean-up.  Talk to Margaret and she will get you connected.
  • Offer to shovel the sidewalks when it snows - Just contact Julie Miller to help with the task. The more, the merrier and it will get done quickly.  Shovels and snow remover are readily available at the church.
  • Greet / Host - A warm smile and a "hello" are a wonderful start to any Sunday morning. Bulletins are printed and waiting. You help us take a tally on attendance and make sure our guests are contacted by board members or our minister.
  • Help with our AV team - We can always use some extra hands running our AV equipment - microphones, slideshows, videos & training is provided.  Volunteers often are scheduled 1 time or less per month, based on availability.
  • Special Music - Do you have some musical talent you would like to share?  Please consider sharing it with us. It's always a treat to recognize our member's talents.
