Monthly Leadership Update to the Congregation
The business of keeping up our spiritual home –
February Message from UUSS Leadership

The UUSS volunteers serving in leadership positions want to keep the congregation updated about current and upcoming conversations. In this monthly message you will find updates from your Board of Trustees, Program Council, and occasionally from the Nominating Committee and Endowment Trust.

Thanks to leaders and future leaders: Thanks to all who organized the Second Annual “Leadership Meet and Greet” on February 11th. And thanks to all who attended to better understand what our volunteer leaders do. Big thanks to all those considering adding their time and talents to help our congregation thrive and carry out our mission!

Nominating Committee: In the best of all worlds our UUSS community leadership reflects the diversity of our congregation: our talents, our viewpoints, our experience. Interested in helping us cast a wider net and sharing your talents, viewpoints, and experience in a leadership role? The Nominating Committee will be available after service February 25th to answer your questions about leadership opportunities available this year and beyond! Stop by our table after service February 25th. Or send us your questions at .

Program Council Opportunities: There is currently one vacancy that Program Council (PC) is looking to fill. There are also two upcoming June retirements that will be filled via the elections in the May Congregational Meeting. If you’re interested or just curious about what the role would entail, contact a PC member or email them at .

Covenant for Activity Groups: Ministerial Intern Rosemary Dodd has drafted a Covenant for use by Activity Groups. Interested in using it for your group? Curious about it? Find out more from one of your Program Council members.

“Threads That Connect. Stories That Inspire”: That’s the theme of this year’s Pacific Western Regional Assembly taking place online and in-person on April 19th & 20th in Denver. Registration is open! Learn More Here!

By-Laws Changes: The Board has embarked in an effort to amend the UUSS bylaws. The last time the bylaws were amended was in 2018. Take this opportunity to read these documents that guide our congregation and submit your input to by February 28th. Please note that it’s the by-laws, not the Constitution, that are being amended at this time.

How to get in touch with your volunteer leaders:

Your elected Board of Trustees meets monthly. Our next meeting will be Thursday, February 22nd, 6:30 pm on Zoom and in the library. You are welcome to join us by accessing the same Zoom link as the Sunday morning services. The Board’s role is to oversee issues of UUSS finances, facilities, personnel and long-range planning; it makes decisions on policies rather than management decisions.

The Program Council meets on Zoom the third Thursday of each month. Persons interested in attending a meeting can request contact information at .
