The WUU congregation is a Welcoming, Worshiping, Witnessing Congregation.
We express that in many ways, one of which is by offering a warm welcome to all who come through our doors each Sunday.
Five teams, each of approximately 70 people, rotate through the months, one team per month, greeting each person who enters WUU’s doors on Sunday mornings, supporting the services, answering questions, and providing refreshments. The teams include congregation members, friends, and even visitors – of all ages. As we say to each other in every service, “All are worthy; all are welcome.”
During the current pandemic as our doors are closed, the welcome continues, though on a greatly reduced scale. Each month one of the teams is serving as greeters to those who enter the service through Zoom and hosting the after-service breakout discussion groups.
When your team is contacted by the team’s leader, please consider these welcoming ways. Thanks to all who have provided this warm welcome during all the months of this pandemic and before. We all are looking forward to the time we can do the full warm welcoming.
