Building Bulletin Boards

Perhaps you've noticed...the bulletin boards in the social hall and around the building have been getting graphic glow ups masterfully done by member Jenn Letellier. We are so very grateful and these boards have never looked better! Jenn's engaging designs visually support our programs, offerings and committee news. Check them out!

Pastoral Care Requests, Meeting with Ministers and Building Hours

If you have a pastoral care update or a request for tangible support, please email Rev. Jack directly (revjack@wbuuc.org) or fill out this form: https://wbuuc.breezechms.com/form/pastoralcare


We would be honored to name your joy or sorrow or life event during our Sunday morning meditation so that our community can know about your concern and hold it with you. As the Swedish proverb goes, “Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow.”
