Community Within Pillar

Membership Committee

The membership committee tries to help grow our church's membership through community outreach, social activities, and education. To learn more about the Membership Committee, or to learn how you can help, check out their page at http://www.uucchc.org/membershipcommittee.html


Greeters

Greeters help direct newcomers before service, pass out the Order of Service, and in general help make everything run smoothly every Sunday morning. To learn more or become a greeter, contact Colleen Tennery.


Cares & Concerns

The Cares & Concerns Committee is co-chaired by Faye Ferrell and Sherry Zerbe. They are responsible for aiding members of our congregation if they're in need. If you would like to help out, contact them for more information.


Committee on Ministry

The Committee on Ministry aids and supports our Minister.


Worship Committee

The worship committee, chaired by Lynn Jettpace, recruits the worship associates each week, produces the order of service (currently job of Mary Schnake), substitutes for Rev. Jennifer Gray when she has Sundays off, and advises the minister about speakers and themes they think the congregation would like to hear. To learn more about them, visit their page at www.uucchc.org/worshipcommittee.html


Music Committee

The UUCC Music Committee, chaired by Larry Prather, is responsible for performing and leading music during services at UUCC. The committee also oversees the logistics and equipment (such as PA systems and the organ) required for such performance. Members of the committee who are musicians participate in a rotation to work with the Worship Committee Service Leader and the speaker for the service to select appropriate hymns and other spiritual music for each week.

If you're interested in helping with the Music Committee, or would like to play and instrument or sing during a service, contact Larry Prather after service.


Religious Exploration

The RE committee is chaired by Erin Kimble. They run religious education classes for different age groups, as well as provide a nursery for children too young for classes. Also, Dave Giltner and J.D. Nesbitt run WICKS, which is a UU youth group for our older students.
