The function of the Caring Committee is to foster a CARING COMMUNITY AT First UU. To that end the committee facilitates the congregation in providing caring connections to the members and friends of the church community, in close coordination with the minister.
Our goal is to develop and maintain a mechanism to get congregational members involved in providing assistance, attention and help to members who would appreciate these services.
The committee meets monthly to determine the needs of our people, and to plan and carry out several projects such as holiday flowers at Christmastime and in the spring, Senior Luncheon in May, memorial receptions, card writing and visitation, meals when needed.
You can SHARE THE CARE by (1) joining the committee, or by (2) letting us know of specific tasks that you are able to fulfill.
