Northwoods Connections
The Northwoods’ Membership Committee began the “Group of 10” program to foster connections and strengthen our church community. With COVID-19 keeping us physically distanced, we are rebooting the program in the coming weeks. Here are your options as part of Northwoods Connections.

Discussion Groups:
Group members will exchange ideas through their preferred communication method. Topics may be a monthly theme or based on group interests. Expect to have “conversations” at least once a month, or throughout the month.
Pick your group based on the means of communication:
A) Facebook
B) Zoom
C) Reply-All Email
D) Group Text
E) Distanced Meet Up: These in-person, safe meetings will follow church guidelines for in person gatherings. Each member of this group will host at least one meet-up; for example, at a public park.
Other ways to make connections:
Don’t need that sort of connection? Then opt for:
Occasional Email Contact: You will receive occasional emails throughout the year with announcements and updates beyond the Beacon Bits.
Text Reminders: Email Jamie (office@northwoodsuu.org) with your name and cell phone number to receive text reminders about Sunday Services and other Northwoods events.
Note: In case of emergency (such as flooding), the Membership Committee will reach our congregation through an Emergency Phone Tree via our Membership Directory.
How to get started:
If you are a member and are currently in a “Group of 10,” your leader will be contacting you soon to find out your preference. Or you can contact Sara DaSilva (sara.e.dasilva@gmail.com) to register your preference. If you don’t need any contact, let your leader know.
