• Sept 8 – Newcomers’ Meet and Greet After Service – All newcomers to JRUUC are invited to join the Membership Team for an informal Meet and Greet gathering during coffee hour after the Water Communion service on September 8. Get your treats and coffee or tea, and meet us in the Multipurpose Room for a chance to get to know each other better!How you define “newcomer” is up to you. Whether today is your first time at JRUUC, or whether you’ve been coming for months, you are welcome! We look forward to seeing you at this continuation of our Ingathering and Invitation service.
• Sept 15 – Greeter Training & Gathering after service – Are you interested in becoming a Sunday greeter or coffee hour zoom host at JRUUC? If you like meeting new people and greeting friends, this may be a good fit for you. It is especially a good way for relatively new folks to get to know the congregation. If you want more info or want to get trained as a greeter, please contact the Membership Team here. For new and existing greeters and coffee hour zoom hosts, we are tentatively planning a greeter gathering on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 11:30-1. This will be an opportunity to share questions or ideas on how to improve the role of greeters, and some updates. For in-person folks, this will be during the community meal. We will plan on reconnecting to the zoom folks at about 11:45.
• Sept 15 – Community Meal After Service
