COMMITTEES & TEAMS
PCUUC Committees that exist to support the functions of our Congregation. These Committees strengthen our UU Community. As a lay-led organization, PCUUC Members, Friends, and Long-term Visitors contribute their time, talents, and passions to our spiritual community.
Get Involved
Finding a group of journey partners is important to feeling connected and like you belong in a community. Each person has their own way of getting involved with a congregation. Many start with Sunday services, but those who tend to find a home here are those who find a small group experience that offers meaningful connection.
Caring Committee
At PCUUC, we know that life is full of ups and downs, and that's why we have a dedicated Caring Committee to support our congregation through it all. Whether you're celebrating a joyous occasion or going through a difficult time, our committee is here for you. Our members send thoughtful cards and make follow-up phone calls to show their support and let you know that you're not alone. We also offer personal visits to those in need, whether it's in their homes, hospitals, or nursing homes. And if you need a meal or a ride, we're happy to lend a hand. We understand that grief can be a challenging journey, and that's why we offer compassionate support and guidance to help you through it. Our committee is also available to meet with families to plan funeral services that honor the memory of their loved ones. At PCUUC, we're a community that cares for one another.
