e-church, How we connect

Discussion List

We currently have a Discussion List with Yahoo! Groups. It includes around two fifths of the church Members, Friends, and Parents. Membership on this list is restricted to church Members, Friends, and Parents. This list was started in June 2000.

Subscribers to this list sometimes post notices of events at UUCSS, and they oftne list discuss current topics and events, particularly those that related to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Most anything goes: political, environmental, social action, entertainment, etc. We generally avoid discussing serious church business because we believe in democracy, and not all members are represented on this listserv.

Click on An Invitation To Join from the menu, and please read the List Guidelines.

Most Members and Friends who resign from UUCSS, choose to stay on another 6 months or so. Breaking away slowly helps ease their transition to their new home. After 1 year of resigning, their subscription to this list is terminated.

Caring List

Members have been benefiting tremendously from another list, our Caring List. Members who are sick or who are going through trying times may not have the time or energy to call dozens of people for help and be turned down dozens of times. The Caring Coordination Committee Chairperson sends out requests for support. These e-mails are sent out to a much larger percentage of our membership, so members who are in need typically get excellent an response and pretty quickly.

Currently Jim Aldrich is in charge of this list. If you are a member or friend and you haven't been receiving these e-mails, please contact Jim.
