“Getting To Know JRUUC” Class

Due to scheduling conflicts, the October 18th class has been postponed.

Anyone new to JRUUC, long term friend, or member wanting to know more about JRUUC and/or UU history is welcome to attend. Those who are considering membership but have not taken the class previously are especially encouraged to participate. 

We’ll get to know each other better, and explore what we each hold sacred, Unitarian Universalism, the history and bylaws of JRUUC, expectations of membership, and any questions you may have.  

What is Membership?

Adults who feel in sympathy with the purposes and programs of JRUUC can sign the official Membership Book at any time. There is a bi-annual Joining Service to honor our new members. Individuals interested in joining congregation usually attend an Exploring Membership class to learn more about the congregation and Unitarian Universalism.

The life of each JRUUC member can be enriched by the privilege of being a steward of the congregation, thereby bettering our society, our fellow congregants, and ourselves. Supporting our Unitarian Universalist principles is, indeed, a privilege. Members are stewards of our Beloved Community by . . .

• Making a financial commitment / contribution of record
• Participating in worship services
• Voting at Congregational Meetings
• Serving on the Board of Trustees, a Committee, or Task Force
• Volunteering in the Religious Education program or other area
• Supporting Reeb with Talent, Time, and Treasure

Book-signed members receive a copy of the UU World magazine sent to their house, so it’s important to update mailing addresses with the JRUUC Office.

Additionally, JRUUC contributes to the wider UU movement by sending money to the Unitarian Universalist Association and to the MidAmerica Region on behalf of each member. Fair Share contributions for 2016-2017 are $60 and $25 per book-signed member, respectively.
