Robyn has been a member since 2007 and participated in many teams from worship to ministerial search to serving on the board. She is rejoining the board to help build on our new ministry with Rev. Carin. When she is not hanging out with Peoples people, she plays games, knits, cares for her growing collection of houseplants, and entertains two high maintenance dogs.

I joined Peoples Church soon after my wife, Kathy Juba, and I got married, and I moved to Cedar Rapids about 15 years ago. Prior to that I was a member of The United Church of Christ Cedar Falls, a liberal Christian church.

Believing that finances are and must be a part of every church’s business, I have been actively involved with the Stewardship Committee for the last 8 pledge campaigns and with the Finance Committee for slightly longer than that. For each of those years our congregation has had increasing pledges – congratulations to our congregation!

I feel that we must continue to maintain our church building and grounds and grow the programs of the church with the financial support of the current membership AND we must also commit to membership growth in the coming years.

Lucero (Lu) Wilcox has been an active Peoples participant since 2016. She was raised in the Unitarian Universalist congregation in Davenport and is excited to bring her experiences to the Peoples board. Her three children participate in the Faith Formation program and keep her focused on ‘what is on the schedule TODAY.’ As a result she has no spare time, but plenty of scheduled hiking, reading and play time.
