Service Opportunities
BVUUF Personnel Committee Members Wanted!
Do you have some experience in reviewing resumes, writing and submitting brief job descriptions and ads, interviewing possible new hires, or some knowledge of human resources? The Personnel Committee wants you! You don’t have to have to have a lengthy background in these areas because the pooled experience and knowledge always works well when committee members put their heads together.
The committee serves on an as-needed basis rather than on a regular monthly meeting schedule. Typically, committee members have worked closely with the minister, the office administrator, the music coordinator and/or the religious education director, depending on the actions needed to be taken. Additionally, the Personnel Committee has an advanced draft of a new personnel policy manual that committee members will complete together in the near future.
This committee is fun and very interesting! Please email Natalie Parker to let us know that you would like to join.

WHAT IS A WORSHIP ASSOCIATE?
A Worship Associate is a member of our congregation who wants to work with Rev. Lydia for at least a year in a group of individuals to build worship that reaches our hearts, challenges our minds, and lifts our spirits.
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
We are looking for a diverse group to continue to build this exciting, fulfilling program with Rev.Lydia. We need the Worship Associates to represent our Fellowship with a balance of gender, age, sexual orientation, and cultural/religious diversity. What is your religious background? Buddhist? Jewish? Christian? Humanist? ——-or all the shades of in-between that are sometimes held by Unitarian Universalists?

Be on board with two Worship Associate Trainings a year. The first training is Saturday, May 8th, from 8:30-3:30. Serve as a Worship Associate with Rev. Lydia, a guest minister, or with your colleagues to design and deliver meaningful worship
3-4 times a year. Attend the subsequent Worship Services Committee meeting (first Wed., 7:00) to provide reflection on the service you led.
