Become involved with a project that has caught your passion: whether it's Green Sanctuary, Gift-Based Ministry, as a worship associate, leading a covenant group, or something entirely different, your congregation needs your involvement in order to benefit from your unique talents and gifts!

Become a religious educator. Whether you are working with children, youth, young adults, or adults, this work can be deeply fulfilling and fun!

Offer to become a lay leader in your congregation. Talk to your nominating committee. If your congregation's in search for new professional leadership, think about whether you might contribute in new and exciting ways to that venture.

Witness your faith in the company of others, on behalf of your congregation. Seek out connections with other religious groups who share similar values. Help carry the message -- beyond your congregation -- that makes clear Unitarian Universalism's values and voice in this challenging world.

Become a delegate to your UUA District's meetings. You'll learn new skills, develop a sense of Unitarian Universalism that extends beyond your own congregation, and help nurture the vitality of our faith in your district.

Don't wait to be asked: contact your congregation's Nominating Committee and tell them you're willing to serve. They'll be glad to hear from you!

Universalist Convention (TPUC)

TPUC Annual Membership Meeting: It was Our Turn!

The Trustees of the Pennsylvania Universalist Convention (TPUC) hold their annual membership meeting in early October every year. We rotate the hosting responsibilities among the six member congregations. We last hosted the meeting in 2016. So it was our turn now in 2022 and we produced the first hybrid version of this weekend-long gathering. The past two years, we conducted the business of the annual meeting virtually on Saturday morning. We certainly took care of business, but missed being able to visit and be with our friends from around the commonwealth. The Membership meeting was held on Saturday morning, Oct. 8. It included typical business items such as the brief reports from each of the six remaining Universalist Heritaged members, and a Keynote Address. This year we were thrilled to have John Leeker, the Director of Library and Archives at Meadville Lombard Theological School, as our speaker. In addition to his role at Meadville Lombard, he serves as the Secretary-Treasurer of UU Collegium, and Treasurer of the Unitarian Universalist Humanist Association.

Along with his keynote address, John also participated as part of our afternoon programming where he showed us how to make good use of the Meadville Lombard Archives for our own congregational research! In addition, there were: Refreshments and time to visit on Friday evening at registration; Lunch with a free will offering on Saturday; Sat. afternoon programming, including our Universalist History stained glass window, digital archives, and Get Out the Vote activities; A sit down, catered dinner on Saturday evening that included tickets to the Folk Factory concert after our meal; And our regular Sunday morning worship service with the option for travelers to pick up a brown bag lunch to have during their trip home. — Fern C and Cynthia B, Trustee and Alternate Trustees for UUsMA
