Seeking New Volunteers for the Sunday Morning Welcome Teams!

Have you been looking for a way to give back to our community? Are you a people person? Do you feel called to invite newcomers into our circle of care? Consider joining the Sunday Morning Welcome Teams! We are seeking ushers, greeters, and newcomer welcome leaders for the upcoming congregational year.

The following interest form will be used to create teams for each Sunday of the month from September 13 through the end of May. Even if you are not available regularly, we need a large pool of substitutes that are willing to fill in the gaps as needed.

“Grounded in Community, Centered on Justice, Lifted by Love”: 

How do we model what it means to be a radically welcoming Congregation?

From Nelson Searcy’s book Fusion: Turning First-Time Guests into Fully Engaged Members of Your Church:

Everything speaks to first-time guests – everything… Seven minutes is all you get to make a first impression. In the first seven minutes of contact with your church, your first-time guests will decide whether they are coming back. That’s before a single worship song is sung and before a single word of the message is uttered.

Our mission is to turn first-time guests into second-time guests, to turn second-time guests into regular attendees, and to turn regular attendees into members. We are all responsible for making the UUAA a warm, friendly, inviting space for first-time visitors and long time members alike. Won’t you join us?
