Q: When you have a new idea for the church, do you wonder where to go? Start it up, or give it up?

A: Bring your ideas to a Board Member for suggestions on the next steps. Generally, if it’s a PROGRAM thing (worship, faith development for all ages, social justice work, caring for our members who are in need), it will go to the Minister. If it’s a BOARD thing (welcoming new folks, events, fundraisers, finances, the church building, administration of the church), it will go to a committee of the Board. Thanks!

Board members are: Joanna Landsman, Marge Titcomb, Lily O’Brien, Sarah Witte, Charlie Horstman, Lauren Taylor, Rebecca Rundquist, and Jamie Brookes. 

And hey, also check out the new poster which illustrates our church organization. It’s getting built on the wall in our Gathering Room.

Committees, councils, and groups at First U are signed up for a turn to host coffee hour. Mariana Tupper will be contacting your group a few weeks ahead of time with a reminder, but you can also view the schedule here.

Help New Mainers: Become A Volunteer Housing Coach

A volunteer housing coach helps New Mainers to navigate the U.S. rental housing system and assists with things like learning to use unfamiliar kitchen equipment or answers questions about landlord/tenant issues. This volunteer role requires no financial commitment and would be only a few hours per month. Read more about this program.
