Name Tag Sunday
Name Tag Sunday - Building Community Through Connection
Join us during Name Tag Sunday, an exciting event aimed at fostering a strong sense of community within our congregation. On this special day, we encourage everyone to proudly wear their name tags, allowing us to get to know each other better before, during, and after the service, as well as during our cherished coffee hour.
Name Tag Sunday provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow members, newcomers, and friends, creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for all. By simply wearing your name tag, you help others learn your name, and vice versa, facilitating more meaningful interactions and fostering a sense of belonging.
If you don't have a name tag or need a new one, don't worry! Simply email us at iucc@iucc.org, and we'll be more than happy to provide you with a shiny new name tag to proudly wear.
