Unitarian Universalists of Sterling

Why did you become a Unitarian Universalist?
I have always been a Unitarian Universalist although I didn’t know it until the 5^th grade when my dad found a Unitarian church and he and my mom realized that’s where they belonged. I attended RE classes and services until I left for college. I attended UU churches on and off in different places I lived after I joined the work force but didn’t become active with a congregation for perhaps 15 years. Living near and working on a US Air Force Base in Germany, I joined with five or six other UUs in establishing a fellowship.

Why did you become a member of Unitarian Universalists of Sterling?
UU Sterling was the first UU church I attended when I moved to Virginia in 1997. I felt ‘at home’ from my first visit. UUS has proved to be the right choice, supporting me through the sorrows and sharing the joys I’ve experienced in my 11 years of membership.

Why did you become a member of the Board? What do you hope to accomplish?
I’ve served on the board twice before, both times as a member at large. I’m honored this year to be serving the congregation as Vice President as we work with Rev Anya to welcome new families and seek ways to accommodate our growing membership.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
Bob and I like to travel. We do so by Winnebago, plane, and cruise ship for square dancing, family, and the fun of seeing new places. When I’m home, I like to read and sing with the UUS choir.
