Our annual pledge campaign has launched, and it is time to consider how each of us will support ERUUF financially in the upcoming fiscal year. As Rev. Cayer shared with us, there is much good news. ERUUF is in excellent condition and has experienced abundant growth in 2018 with increases in both membership and member engagement. But, “it takes a village,” a village of staff and volunteers to support and sustain this growth.

As a non-profit organization, ERUUF is governed first by its bylaws and then by its policies. The current bylaws were written in 2010 when ERUUF first implemented Policy Governance. Unlike policies, which may be changed by a vote of the current Board of Trustees, bylaws can only be changed by a congregational vote.
Over the past few months, the Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed our current bylaws. Our goal was to ensure that they accurately and clearly reflect how we currently operate or wish to operate in the future.

Our Visioning process is well underway. The image created here is a visual representation of the input provided by workshop participants in October. As members sought to imagine a future-state ERUUF (7-10 years from now), these are the words that came to mind.
Unlike the mission of ERUUF that focuses on a description of the ministry of the congregation, its reason for being, and place in the world; our vision focuses on our image of an ideal future state and a description of what changes in the world will have resulted from our work.
