Opportunity Fair

Get Involved in Building Liberal Religion in the Worcester Area.

After church this week, there will be an Opportunity Fair in Unity Hall. There will opportunities there for you to get involved in building the Liberal Religious movement in Worcester for the future.

There will be opportunities to work with others to meet the three goals for the church that have been identified:

1. Becoming more visible and active in the Worcester Community.
Do you want to work with our Homeless Ministry, which supports the Interfaith Hospitality Network and our Skilled Volunteer Program, which works through Jericho Road Worcester.

How about an outdoor community-wide event to be held in the Spring. This project is just in the dreaming stages, so we need your ideas.

2. Building our First Unitarian Community.
Do you want to work on our programs for growing faith for all ages, everything from our Sunday Morning programs for children and Youth to all of the offerings for spiritual practice and learning during the week? Work with Jessica Gray, Lesa McWalters and lay leaders to make First Unitarian a center for spiritual growth and faith development for the whole community.

Do you want to help make the church a more welcoming place where people can grow together: We need volunteers in the Membership process, hosting our many visitors on Sunday morning, facilitating people sharing their lives. 

How do we become a caring community which helps each other in times of trouble and need? A comprehensive planning process is starting for this all important question. Get involved at the Opportunity Fair.

3. Making our beautiful building a powerful asset for furthering liberal religion in Worcester.
How do we use our building? How does it help us reach our goals? How does it get in the way? How should we use it differently? A comprehensive review and planning process about the building is getting started. You can get involved at the Opportunity Fair. There are also lots of volunteer opportunities in caring for our building and grounds right now. Meet members of the Building and Grounds Committee and the Garden Committee at the Fair. 

Groups and organizations throughout the church will be at the Opportunity Fair to talk with you about your interests and answer questions about how the church works.

There will be coffee and food, too.
