The UUCC Board of Trustees established five goals for the 2025-26 congregational year. Here is a brief summary of some of the activities the Board is doing to accomplish these goals.

It is hard not to notice that the Memorial Endowment Trust Grant Awards are having a big impact at the UUCC. In the month of November 2025, three major grants were executed that have greatly affected the operations and aesthetics of the UUCC.
Board of Trustees Follow Up on ENDS Monitoring Listening Sessions
The Board of Trustees recently sought participant feedback organized around the five major themes that were synthesized from all of the prior ENDS monitoring listening sessions. Across these themes, participants reflected on the current realities within the congregation —both positive and negative— and envisioned possibilities for the near future. Here is what they heard.
UUCC Board of Trustees Goals 2025-2026
The beginning of every congregational year is filled with exciting new themes, ideas, and goals for the year. As a community, we are launching our congregational theme of “Under Construction” with big hopes for growing what we do well and improving what needs improving. During our Fall retreat, the UUCC Board of Trustees also set goals for our own renovation projects. Learn more about this year’s goals for the UUCC Board of Trustees . . .

Volunteering at UUCC
Member contributions of time are an important part of this beloved community, and now is the time to let us know how you will help. Welcoming visitors? Serving on a leadership team? Caring for the building? How will you serve?
Parking at the UUCC
We know that parking can be a pain at the UUCC, especially on Sundays. Did you know that there are three alternatives to parking in our limited parking lot? Regardless of where you park, please respect the property and safety of our neighbors.

The Safety Patrol Needs You!
We're looking for volunteers to work Safety Patrol on Sundays. Interested? Training will be provided.
UUCC Pet Policy
Pets make our lives better in so many ways. Pets are also a responsibility, and their presence at our facility presents challenges for people for various reasons that we must respect. Unitarian Universalism is an inclusive faith, and the presence of pets excludes the interests of those who have allergies, fears, or phobias surrounding animals. Therefore, with the exception of service animals, no pets are allowed in the property at 234 North Sharon Amity Rd.
Introducing the Community Compass!
We are pleased to introduce the Community Compass, a space for regular communications, in longer form than Currents allows for, from UUCC staff and leadership.
Ushers Help Create a Welcoming Worship Experience
At UUCC, we believe that each member contributes to the tapestry of our vibrant community. By joining our team of ushers, you become an integral part of creating a welcoming atmosphere and ensuring the smooth running of our worship services. If you are passionate about serving, connecting with others, and making a difference, we encourage you to consider becoming an usher.
Sunday Morning Greeters Make a Difference
We are looking for friendly people or families to greet visitors, help new people find their way, make introductions and provide information in the vestibule and in Freeman Hall on Sunday mornings before and after the service. Are you willing to fill this role?
Urgent Need: Sunday Morning Volunteers
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our religious community, and they are especially crucial to providing welcoming experiences and inspirational worship on Sunday mornings. Right now we urgently need A/V workers, coffee servers, greeters, safety patrol members, and ushers.
Automated External Defibrillators (AED) Available at UUCC
Thanks to a grant from the Memorial Endowment Trust to the Children and Youth Religious Education program, UUCC now has essential life-saving devices including Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to help in cardiac emergencies and LifeVacs for choking emergencies.
