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.

The flaming chalice is the symbol of Unitarian Universalism. In years past ERUUF had a large, pottery chalice in the sanctuary. It had a beautiful pale turquoise glaze and was filled with sand so the oil lamp sat at the right height. Though beautiful, it was heavy and awkward. One Sunday morning a few years ago, as the furniture was quickly being rearranged from a performance the night before, the podium with the chalice hit a bump on the floor. It stopped suddenly but the chalice was in motion and flew off the stand and shattered when it hit the ground.

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.
