Membership Orientation Classes

 

Fellowship Welcome Class

Led by Marie Murton, Membership Coordinator

This class presents the history of Unitarianism and Universalism, outlining the major principles and beliefs of each of these religious traditions and how they became one under Unitarian Universalism. We also trace the history of the Fellowship up to where we are today, and we cover the new-member process, the meaning of joining, and the commitment and responsibilities of membership. Newcomers to the Fellowship are highly encouraged to attend one of these classes. No advance sign up is necessary.
