When the Bough Breaks
Rev. Deborah Cayer
Music: Chalice Singers and Sunshine Kids
"Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetops..." we know how it ends; the bough breaks, the baby falls. So what do we do then? And how do we get people to stop "putting babies up in trees" in the first place? A sermon on what we can do to make repairs after trust has been broken.

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.
Let's Check Our Pulse!
All of us together—members and friends along with staff—form the beating heart of ERUUF. It's time once again to check our Pulse! The ERUUF Board of Trustees would like feedback about life at ERUUF. The Pulse Survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is open from February 1st through February 28th.
