Want to Start Something New at UUSS

Committees, Activity Groups, and Adult Enrichment classes provide community outreach, perform tasks that keep the church functioning, and/or meet social or personal needs of members.

Committees are the most formal of the groups and usually focus on maintaining or enhancing the church community or facilities.

• Established by the Board of Trustees or the Program Council
• Defined by a committee charter
• Chaired by a UUSS member
• Open to the public unless there is a compelling reason to be closed
• Listed in Pathways
• Eligible for funding through the UUSS budget

Activity groups support a special interest of a group of members or friends. This may be political, educational, artistic, or just for fun.

• Established by any member or friend, typically by an invitation in the Unigram or Blue Sheet
• Defined by a simple statement of purpose instead of a charter
• Represented by a contact person who is a UUSS member
• Open to the public unless there is a compelling reason to be closed
• Listed in Pathways
• Not eligible for funding except possible use of facilities for meetings

Adult Enrichment classes are educational, though they can be fun, too!

• Proposed by any member or friend; approved by the Adult Enrichment Committee
• Meet for a limited number of sessions
• Led by any qualified teacher or facilitator
• Open to the public
• Not listed in Pathways, but advertised in the Unigram and Blue Sheet
• Not eligible for funding; may charge participants a small fee
