Special Event For Our New Members — UUCFW members who have joined since summer 2024 are invited to a conversation about the search for a new minister in 2026. Members of the Ministerial Search Committee will gather with new congregants at 11:45 after Sunday service January 4 in the classroom for older students. Refreshments will be provided. The committee has extensive data from a member survey done last year but would like to get new members’ thoughts about what skills and interests are most important for you to see in our next minister.
