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.

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 are at noon on select Sundays. The next class date is November 3rd. If you're interested in attending, please RSVP to Rev. Aaron or follow this link.

We need hosts on Sunday mornings and sign changers every two weeks in the beginning of the week. Contact Josette with any questions. Looking for way to contribute to UUCG on Sundays?
