Sunday, Feb. 11th
11:45 am
Theo Parker Room
Membership will be conducting “A Brief Introduction to Northlake” after service. Our purpose is to acquaint those who are new to Northlake with how Northlake works. We’ll begin with introductions, talk VERY briefly about Northlake history and campus, and then move to UU principles, Northlake vision – mission - Covenant of Right Relations, church organization and finances, membership, and any questions and discussion. We encourage people to become members, but we shall not push. We welcome and appreciate those who wish to be part of the Northlake community without taking the formal step of membership.
Grab your refreshments and come downstairs to the Theodore Parker room!
