UU San Mateo

Connecting and community building are essential building blocks of religious education and religious life.  We learn best and grow most when we are in relationship with each other.  One important way to be in relationship is by sharing our ministry with one another and honoring the ministries of those around us.    

What do we mean by ministry?   All of us have gifts we can give to our congregation: a warm smile for newcomers on Sunday morning, a flair for making the sanctuary beautiful, a knack for small repairs, a fun and reassuring presence with young children, the ability to listen to people in pain, or a prophetic vision for justice.   All of us have a calling – whether it clangs loudly in our ears or just beginning to be audible – that can serve to promote the mission of our congregation.
