What can I expect the first time I visit?
We have two parking spaces marked "Visitor Parking Only" in front of the church on the Highway 111 side. We have two more "Visitor Parking Only" spaces and two Reserved Handicapped spaces at the front of our parking lot on the Outlaw's Bridge Road side, near the entry door. But feel free to park wherever space is available.
Please come in the front door, the one with the awning and the welcome flag. If our service has started, please come into the Sanctuary through the doors on your left. If the service has not started, come through the door in front of you. There should be several folks in the large room we call the Fellowship Hall who will greet you with a smile and make you feel welcome. If you have children, someone will show you the room we use for children's religious education classes where there are also lots of toys for the children to play with.
When we move into the Sanctuary for the service, you will be given a Sunday Bulletin. You may sit wherever you would like. We have gotten used to social distancing, but there should still be plenty of room for everyone. There is lots of information in the Bulletin including the Order of Service. There will also be a Welcome booklet in the rack on the pew in front of you. It has information about the church and Unitarian Universalism. Please take one home with you if you would like.
After the end of the service, we serve refreshments and chat. One Sunday a month, usually second Sunday, we have a covered-dish lunch prior to our board meeting. We always have plenty of wonderful dishes, some vegetarian, to share and hope that you will join us for refreshments or lunch.
One of our members will give you a copy of our current monthly newsletter and also a Visitor Information form to complete which asks for contact information. The form will also ask if you would like to receive our monthly newsletter and/or our weekly newsletter.
