How to Reach Rev. Sierra-Marie
The Rev. Sierra-Marie Gerfao organizes our children, youth, and family ministries. She is available for office hours almost every Sunday after the coffee hour and absolutely loves it when you drop by! Come see her anytime after the coffee hour. No need for a big reason! Or make an appointment for a Sunday afternoon conversation.
Other ways to reach Rev. Sierra-Marie:
- Email: Rev. Sierra-Marie is happy to have even long or complicated conversations by email. Reach out to her by email anytime! dre@uudanbury.org.
- Phone: You can leave Rev. Sierra-Marie a message in her voicemail at church, 203-798-1994. If you are involved in programs, you also have her cellphone number. Phone calls or texts are welcome, but as she works part-time, this does not necessarily mean she will be able to respond right away.
- Social Media: Rev. Sierra-Marie does not “friend” or “follow” congregants on social media, but will accept your friend or follow requests on the platforms she engages. However, she does not use social media for work.

Fair for Children, Teens, and Families September 8th
Kids and families, please join us on the lawn on September 8th 10:30AM-12PM (adults attending the service can join kids outside after the service ends). We will have a bounce house, games, and other activities for the kids. There will also be information for adults about this year’s programs for kids, teens, and families. If it rains, we will set up some activities in the fellowship hall.
Volunteers Needed
We still need volunteers for our planned programs for children and youth this year. The only way to guarantee that this is a congregation that offers programs for children and youth is to join a team to make it happen. There are both large and small opportunities to volunteer. Reach out to Sierra-Marie (email dre@uudanbury.org), and she can help you determine whether one of those volunteer opportunities is the right one for you.
