"I'd love to help but I'm just not in a position to join a committee right now." Does this ring true with you? Well then I've got great news! There are lots of ways to contribute to our community without joining a committee.

Years ago when I first started coming to Unity I did just that. I came to church on Sundays. Church was a place to go. After a while I was asked to help with this or that and I became more involved. It was then that I really started to feel like part of the community. Church became something to do. Once I started to do church I really got the most out of it. If you're going to church but not doing church then you don't know what you're missing!

Back to the original problem. How can you do church if you can't join a committee? Committee members are critical to make decisions and steer the direction of the church. However, they need help getting things done. Every committee could use some doers - non-committee members willing to take on a short term, specific task. For example, the fundraising committee has some big plans to raise much needed funds but not enough people to pull it off. (See the fundraising article below.)

Involved, committed members make for a strong church and offer personal benefits that far exceed just going to church. I look forward to the day when every single voting member contributes to at least one project a year. There's something to do for everyone.

Please contact me or any committee member if you are ready to do church!
