Choosing to become a member of UUCR means that you feel that this church makes a difference in your life, giving it greater strength, depth, significance and direction. It means you feel a sense of belonging and commitment to the liberal religious values this church represents. It means willingness to support the church with ideas, energy, time and money, so that these values can be realized in the world.

We encourage everyone who is interested in exploring membership to attend our popular NEW UU class, facilitated by Rev. Tim Kutzmark and various lay leaders.  This four week class provides a chance to reflect on your individual spiritual journey, as well as learn about the history of Unitarian Universalism, discuss Unitarian Universalist beliefs, and learn more about our congregation.  The emphasis is on fun, information, and getting to know other people who are new to the church.  The NEW UU class is offered three different times during the regular church year (fall, winter, spring).  Of course, not everyone's schedule permits them to attend the NEW UU class, but we do encourage you to take the class if at all possible.  If you decide you would like to become a member, Rev. Tim also likes to meet with you to get to know you better, and to give you a chance to ask all the questions you might have. 

Individuals age 14 and older may sign the Membership Book during our NEW MEMBER SUNDAY services.  You will also be entitled to vote (age 18 and older) about important issues facing our church at our semi-annual business meetings. 

We hold three NEW MEMBER SUNDAY services each year, during which you can sign the membership book and be welcomed into the life of the church community.  After the service, new members are invited to a special welcome luncheon hosted by our Membership Committee.  If you are interested in knowing when the next NEW MEMBER SUNDAY will be held, or the schedule for the next NEW UU class, please contact the church office by email or phone (781-944-0494).

To discuss membership in this church, or to arrange to sign the membership book, please contact our minister, Tim Kutmark(781-944-0494) .
