Members contribute items and services. Some are auctioned off and others are displayed around the room for people to bid on silently. The items are interesting and diverse, and the food is yummy. Some of the service opportunities have included yard work, airport rides, and bread making lessons.

The UUFCC Freedom Seder combines elements of a traditional Seder with tenets of the Unitarian Universalist religious tradition. It includes an intergenerational Passover service, followed by a potluck dinner. To stage a successful Seder, volunteers are needed to serve on the planning committee, to prepare food, and to assist with set up and clean up.

Music reading is helpful but not necessary, and there is no audition. The choir rehearses on Thursdays at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary and provides music for Sunday services two or three times per month.

We play various types they are not elimination games but ones where everyone plays until the end. UUFCC has a game collection, but anyone can also bring their own games. We welcome newcomers aged 18 and over. Children and youth may also attend with parents present.

Reading music is a must, and an understanding of jazz soloing over chord changes is a plus. This is a weekly commitment for rehearsal, and the band performs at various times throughout the year for services at the UUFCC and for the Valentine’s Day dance.

We go around the circle with each person choosing the next song, either from our song books or a song they brought to share. We usually meet at 7:00 PM on the second Friday of the month in the Sanctuary.

Usually two people work together during the service: one person will help monitor and handle the sound (for both Sanctuary and Zoom), and another person handles the slides, camera views, and other computer setup. Crew members are trained to set up the appropriate microphones, correctly coil cables, handle a mixer, use OBS, a video switcher, and host Zoom. No prior experience is necessary.

On occasion we need help with gardening, managing the vegetables, and keeping things in order. You can also volunteer to harvest before church on Sunday mornings, and/or set up tables and help with distribution after service.

It is located on the UUFCC grounds directly behind the back wall of the sanctuary. It is landscaped as a garden with a permanent memorial plaque included. We can always use help with gardening.

At the UUFCC we follow the Seventh UU Principle (respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part) as closely as we can. As a result, we have multiple streams of recycling and composting. If you live in the Borough, you can help take our compost; we also need help taking away our corrugated cardboard and occasional e-waste; and you can also help sort recyclables into our existing bins.

The Climate Justice team creates opportunities to educate and engage Unitarian Universalists about the urgent need for environmental and climate action. We strive to live our lives in harmony within ecological limits.

We approach this work through education and activism. Members of the committee 1) provide educational opportunities for UUFCC members, and 2) serve as liaisons between the UUFCC and activist racial justice organizations and events outside of the UUFCC.

1. The Faith Formation Team helps to envision family ministry (family being defined as anyone in the congregation), multi-generational learning and growth, interfaith collaboration, and age-appropriate offerings.
2. The Outreach Team systematically connects with all folks in the congregation in order to support their needs, help them get involved, and connect them with community.
3. The Events Team envisions and implements various multi-generational events which incorporate our UU values and sources to benefit the congregation by offering fun, educational, and communal opportunities and serve as outreach to the community.

We welcome participation at various levels in any of these teams such as one-time helpers, short-time helpers, or on-going members. We also welcome anyone presenting ideas for educational offerings, events, or classes.

The board holds fiduciary responsibilities for the financial resources, human resources, and building and grounds, and develops policies necessary to effectively govern the fellowship. We conduct strategic planning and congregational assessments. Our members have job descriptions and are elected from and by the members.

We coordinate all financial and stewardship activities including those of the Endowment and Directed Gifts Committee and the Annual Pledge Campaign team.
