Church Leaders
In a spirit of shared ministry, UUFEC aims to ensure that church activities are led by a range of members, often through committees. Some committees have not restarted since we began meeting inperson. The Board of Trustees is working to identify re-energize these committees and/or appoint task forces to address more pressing issues. We would love to hear from you! Please address any questions or ideas to president Miriam Williams (president@uufec.com).
