Board of Trustees

From Our President

There have been a lot happening over the last few months at SFUU, and the Board of Trustees is working hard to keep you informed.  There are many ways for you to keep up with the news of the church – we ask the congregation to help us keep you informed by reading the eBeacon, checking this web page for meeting minutes, and watching for other communications.  As we enter into search for a new minister, there will be much to keep you informed of.

In addition, there are many activities going on in this community that need your leadership and participation.  The desire for more community activities was very evident in the results of the Listening Circles that we just finished.  To make these activities happen, we will need more volunteers from the congregation.  This could mean signing up to be on a committee or task force, or giving your time to the many projects that will be coming up in the future. 

We are working hard to make SFUU become the community that folks in the Listening Circles have requested.  Let’s make it happen together!

In friendship and collaboration,

Marsha von Dessonneck, SFUU Board of Trustees president
