First of all the role of greeting visitors appears to be assigned to the greeters and pastor. Expect polite nods from everyone else. The music was professional and soothing. The readings helped me put the experiences of my week in perspective. The sermon was both intellectually and emotionally engaging for me, providing a mix of philosophical underpinnings and illustrative real-life stories. This is not typical of a UU sermon so this might not be a regular feature of sermons at this church. Afterwards at coffee hour, people gathered in lively conversation. My I-am-sort-of-lost-here look did not work to get me into any of these circles. However, most of the little exchanges were polite and friendly. Finally, I found the welcome table. Had a great conversation and was introduced to other people. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. I like to me able to observe before meeting people, so this formal approach to visitors worked for me. I plan to return to enjoy a few of the many activities offered to adults.

I am rating solely on the venue that the church rents out and NOT on the church. We rented the…read morespace for an event that fell on a holiday weekend. When I originally toured the venue I asked the woman from the church, Megan, specifically if we would need police detail and was told that we didn't unless there were over 250 people, which we did not have. After the deposit was put down and contract was signed we were then told that we needed police detail afterall. Communication is very poor and management is beyond unorganized! The woman in charge did not know whether or not the stove worked and could not address my questions/concerns accordingly. The day of the event; maybe an hour or two in, another woman (older woman) from the church came in while we were having the event and was inspecting the kitchen. We were questioned about whether or not the cutting board we had used was ours. Mind you, we brought our own pots, pans, utensils as we were given an "I don't know" when asked if we would have access to pots, pans, ect. First of all, we don't need to steal a cutting board and secondly, if we're forking over $2000+ for a venue I'm more then certain we could afford our own. Smh! If it's so concerning, my suggestion would be to keep an inventory of items or write the church name on it. Problem solved! We were told by this older woman that the venue needed to be cleaned that night when the other woman we had been working with had sent an email stating we had 2 hrs to clean the following day. This older women was adamant about clearing plates as soon as the guests were done eating and that the place had to be cleaned that evening regardless of what the email said! How rude is it to be cleaning off the tables while guests are trying to enjoy themselves?! Absurd! There was also a playground that we thought would've been nice for the kids to play on while we had the event and after the situation with this older woman about the kitchen, we asked if we could use the playground and was told "NO, it's only used for church services." We took all these things into account before renting this venue and was then told otherwise! Had we known, and if we weren't so pressed for time, we would've rented another place quick, fast and in a hurry! This older woman we dealt with was extremely rude and unprofessional! To top things off, I called for the refund check to be mailed. There was no mention of any issues, but when I received the check it was only half the amount with a letter indicating supplies were missing, there was broken glass, vomit, etc. Are you serious? If you can help it, GO ELSEWHERE! Though the place is spacious, we would save ourselves the headache next time!!
