Getting involved
Although Sunday morning worship is the focal point for our community’s activities, much of what we do takes place outside the worship service. We also have plenty of opportunities to meet together, in person or over Zoom, to connect, support each other, engage in social justice, and serve each other in various ways.
Our many active committees keep the Society functioning smoothly, and there are numerous groups and events that bind the community together. See our events listings here: USNF Events.
From the Adult Education program to the Choir to teaching in the Religious Education Program for Children and Youth to joining Small Group Circles, there are many ways to get involved and get to know other members of the congregation. We also have a close relationship with our partner church in Homoródkarácsonyfalva, Transylvania (Romania), with an active Partner Church Committee that keeps those ties strong.
We also have many opportunities for social action: Through the Democracy Action Team, we work to combat voter suppression, get out the vote in key states, and support American democracy where it is currently under assault. You can join the Climate Action Group or the Racial Justice Team. There are interfaith service opportunities like cooking together for Cathedral in the Night and bringing fruit for the weekend school lunch program. The Pastoral Care Team serves the congregation by providing assistance to those of our members and friends who are in need during times of crisis or illness.
Upcoming events are highlighted on our home page and on the Events and Activities page.
