Getting Ready for Fall

Online Workshop

Getting Ready for Newcomers
We want to welcome everyone who comes to our congregation, though many times it is easier to greet those we already know than brand new people. There are many things congregations can do right now to get ready for newcomers walking in our doors. From training greeters to looking at membership expectations, this workshop will discuss ten good ideas for congregations to be welcoming of the newcomers who are searching for a spiritual home, which will help them along the path to membership.

Leader:

Marie Murton, Membership Director at Fox Valley UU Fellowship, Appleton, WI
