Committees at UUCFL 


If you are interested in getting involved in any part of UUCFL this is the night to be there.
We discuss plans and share the ideas with the board and any other committees may be involved 

 

A standing committee is long-lasting, has a congregation member as its chairperson, and meets with some regularity.
It deals with some aspect of leadership or physical, spiritual, personal, philanthropic, and financial health of the congregation. The minister and at least one member of the Board of Trustees act as liaisons between the committees and the Board.
