Our Church Committees and Activities--An Invitation to Participate!
Some choose and receive leading, visioning, and decision-making roles as they fulfill leadership responsibilities in the ministry of our church. Seriving on the board, task forces, or committees as a leader extends involvement beyond personal interaction to the kind of ministry that strengthens our church. Newcomers are encouraged to think about what gifts they have to offer to the work of our church community.
The Building and Grounds Committee maintains and improves the church grouds, structures, and property.
The Finance Committee is responsible for all financial matters concerning the church.
The Fun and Fellowship Committee plans and arranges for church-wide social functions, coordinates coffee, tea, and refreshments after Sunday services, and assists with coordinating receptions after memorial services.
The Membership Committee is responsible for the enrollment of new members by providing for the registration of visitors and guests and by following up with those interested in membership.
The Library Committee maintains the church library with special emphasis on providing books on Unitarian Universalism and facilitates the ordering of other relevant books for our use.
The Pastoral Care Committee at UUCC exists to provide help and support to our members. We provide meals, cards, home and hospital visits, care and assistance to anyone in need. If you or someone you know could benefit from these services, please contact Sandi Gaulke at 638-4554 or sanji@bresnan.net
The Music Committee, led by our Music Director, works with our musicians to provide music for Sunday services and other special occasions.
The Sunday Services Committee plans and supports our Sunday services, which includes arranging for high-quality worship services when the Minister is not leading a service.
The Publicity Committee plans and executes a publicity schedule, to make the church better-known in the community.
The Adult Education Committee designs and implements education programs to address the religious and spiritual needs and interests of adults.
The Religious Education Committee is responsible for the philosophy, content, and implementation of religious education programs for our children and youth.
The Social Concerns Committee supports a number of on-going projects that provide important services to the Cheyenne community of churches.
Special committees that are elected by a congregation vote:
The Board of Trustees provides oversight to the governance of our church and, at times, designates other committees to enhance the governance as needed (e.g., Nominating Committee, Audit Committee).
The Endowment Committee manages the church's endowment funds.
The Committee on Ministry--Do you have thoughts you would like to share about how we are doing as religious community? Do you know about the Committee on Ministry? Some of you may not be aware that UUCC has a Committee on Ministry (COM) which, according to our by-laws, "is responsible for strengthening the quality of the total ministry for the congregation." One of our responsibilities is to serve as a communication channel between the minister and the congregation and facilitate communication between the various parts of the congregation related to our members' wishes, visions and concerns. What are we doing well as a religious community? What can we do better? If you have thoughts you would like to share, please let us know.
The Ministerial Search Committee, when needed, searches for a ministerial candidate and nominates that candidate to the congregation. A ministerial search is an intense process that takes several months to complete.
