Unitarian Universalists of Sterling

Why did you become a Unitarian Universalist?
I was raised in a Brethren church (protestant), but as a teenager, I had a lot of questions that were never fully answered. I've always had a problem with any one religion claiming to have a corner on the truth. It seems obvious to me that people from all over the world would have different approaches to answering life's biggest questions, and I feel like there is value to be found in many different religions. Anyway, as it turns out, my roommate in college was a Unitarian Universalist. We had many late night discussions about religion and the meaning of life, and I realized that I was basically a Unitarian already and didn't know it. It wasn't until I had children of my own that I sought out a Unitarian church to attend. I was delighted to find such an active and caring community at UUS.

Why did you become a member of Unitarian Universalists of Sterling?
I have attended since 2003, but only recently became an official member.  I wanted to be part of what I hope will be a very exciting time of change and growth for us as Anya comes on board as our minister.

Why did you become a member of the Board? What do you hope to accomplish?
Again, I want to support our new minister and the church during this time of transition.  Serving as co-treasurer seemed to be the best fit for me.  I've spent the last 4 years on the Finance Committee, and my work experience before having children was in corporate finance.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
With 3 children under 6, I have almost no free time!  I do enjoy music, reading, hiking and spending time with my family.
