Considering Membership?

Two Steps to Membership at Northwoods!

Considering Membership?

Based on participant feedback, we have recently redesigned our Pathways to Membership experience, to be both more flexible and more engaging. Pathways to Membership now has TWO elements:

  • Pathways Online Class, which you can do on your own and at your own pace, and
    Pathways Chat, a more conversational session, lasting around an hour, where you will have the chance to share responses to the questions from the online class and ask any questions of your own.

Step One: Watch the Pathways Video.

The Pathways Video is on YouTube and is 48 minutes long. Print the Pathways Worksheet to use while you watch – there are invitations to pause and respond on the worksheet. Feel free to watch in segments at whatever pace works best for you. Save the worksheet to bring to the next Pathways Chat.

Watch the video and print the worksheet here.

Step Two: Attend a Pathways Chat!

Following service scheduled Sundays, Rev. Sarah will host a “Pathways chat” for prospective new members and visitors interested in learning more about Northwoods and Unitarian Universalism. Come find out about UU, share your story, ask questions, get to know a few folks, and learn more about becoming a member. It’s an hour well spent! For more information, contact office@northwoodsuu.org.

Schedule a meeting with Rev. Sarah to talk about membership at Northwoods.

Now you’re ready! Sign the Membership Book!
