Membership (Brenda Stevens)
Greeters welcome Visitors on Sunday mornings. Every visitor receives a welcoming email and handwritten note. Prospective members can schedule an orientation with the President or another UU leader.

A date for joining will be chosen and the individual will be presented to the congregation as a new member on that day.
