Board of
Membership and Fellowship
Who We Are
The Board of Membership and Fellowship welcomes you at
the front and back doors of the church. Our mission is to nurture the
growth of a close community at church and to welcome new members into
the congregation.
What We Do
Working in conjunction with the Membership Coordinator,
BMF is specifically responsible for:
- Exploring
the meaning of membership at Westmoreland and in the United Church of
Christ.
- Welcoming,
communicating with, and promoting a friendly atmosphere for all
newcomers.
- Greeting
the congregation and visitors at the front door of the church each
Sunday.
- Scheduling
hosts and hostesses to provide refreshments for a congenial gathering
at Coffee Hour in the Social Hall following the worship service.
- Hosting
the Welcome Back Luncheon in September, Valentine's Day Brunch,
- New
Member Dinners and more.
- Facilitating
fellowship activities for all ages and interests, including gatherings
of Prime Timers, Parents Group, Millennium Parents, Young
Professionals, Fellowship Breakfasts, Book Clubs and other social
groups.
- Designing
and carrying out church publicity programs.
- Updating
the church handbook, brochures, visitor cards, name tags, Inquirer's
packets, and other materials.
- Overseeing
membership records and maintaining an accurate database of membership.
We welcome members to consider joining our board and
everyone to participate in our activities. We are always looking for
fresh perspectives and new ways of reaching our current members and the
wider community. Do you know someone who might be interested in joining
Westmoreland Congregational UCC? Do you have ideas about how we can
more effectively promote our unique worship here? Have you thought of
ways we can improve or expand our fellowship activities? If so, please
contact Jeanine Derr at jeakpd@aol.com. We really do want to hear from
you.
