There are a number of activities and programs that can help
you decide if Neighborhood is right for you. Attend Sunday
service, take a class, meet other folks on our patio, or volunteer
for a social justice project. You are welcome to participate
in all of these activities and more. Each person has a different
journey and here are a few opportunities to explore:
-
Attend Church regularly to get to know the congregation,
our ministers, and our diverse beliefs.
-
Visit the Welcome Table to pick up information, request a
nametag, subscribe to our newsletter, and more.
-
Join us on the first Sunday of each month at 1:00 p.m.
at Meet the Ministers to learn more about Unitarian Universalism
and the Church.
-
Participate in our orientation class, New to Neighborhood,
held throughout the year.
After you've participated in some of these helpful events, how do you know
if you've become a member? It's more than having a nametag, receiving the
newsletter, and coming to service!
After carefully deciding if Neighborhood Church is right for you, you become
an official member by completing a membership card (available at the Welcome
Table, in the office, or from any staff or board member) and making a financial
commitment to the Church. Shortly thereafter, our Membership Coordinator will
contact you to answer any questions and chat about what you are seeking in a
spiritual home and how we can help you find ways to get connected.
We'll also send you a new member packet with additional
information and invite you to participate in an upcoming Welcome
Ceremony, where we introduce you to the congregation and
formally welcome you into our community. Afterwards, you'll
sign the official membership book, which contains the signatures
of generations of Neighborhood Church members. We look forward
to welcoming you home to our neighborhood!
Responsibilities of membership:
- Be present – attend regularly and bring your authentic self.
- Grow your own faith develop a spiritual life.
- Make this your community - connect with others.
-
Give of yourself in three ways
each year: help our children, volunteer for a social justice
project, and care for those in need.
-
Support the Church financially
by making an annual pledge.
