Faith and Fellowship Development

Ours is a faith that recognizes ambiguity and change. Therefore, our faith journey is one that takes a lifetime.
We take parts of the journey alone, but we understand the importance of community in addressing the questions the universe asks us.
We gather as a community to find spiritual renewal and to support the work of making peace, bringing justice, and deepening our faith.

Adult Education -
Journeys of the Mind and Spirit

We encourage members to take classes in Unitarian Universalist history, principles, and theology as well as wisdom from other world religions and critical issues facing our society today. An array of programs -  from classes to open forums to small groups and informal discussions - reflects the diversity and interests of our congregation.
Chair: Doreion Colter

Beginnings Class

Two or three times a year, we conduct a four-session class for people interested in learning more about the church and Unitarian Universalism - an excellent place to begin if you are contemplating membership. Each series concludes with a potluck dinner with the ministers' home. Contact: Church Office

Choir

Join the Choir and enjoy singing on Sundays and special occasions. Our choir provides anthems, leads the congregation in songs from our hymnal, and sometimes gives us the gift of a solo rendition. They also produce an original Cabaret, one of the most entertaining events of the year. The choir claims to be the group that has the most fun, but you'll have to find that out for yourself.

Christian Covenant Group

For those who are interested in Christianity as a spiritual path, the group provides a non-threatening environment to explore questions and doubts and seek an understanding that transcends doctrine and dogma. Doreion Colter

Communications

Writing, editing, design, and layout for internal publications including include The Beacon (our newsletter), the website, annual reports, and various brochures. Contact: Church Office

Cooking

Do you like to feed a crowd? Join Helen and her crew whenever we have luncheons or dinners at church. And on the 5th Saturday of the month, Helen coordinates cooking at the church for the needy at "Our Daily Bread." No skills needed. Contact: Helen Szymkowiak

Covenant Groups

Conversations about things that matter, things that go below the surface, are central to Covenant Groups. They provide mutual encouragement and support as we deepen our spiritual journeys. A group can revolve around a topic/category or not. Our Covenant Groups include: Men, Doers, Women, and Christian. The only requisite in forming a Covenant Group is identifying several people who would like to participate. Contact: Our Ministers

Dream Group

A lay group for those interested in exploring the meaning of their dreams, the Dream Group has been meeting continuously since 1987. Our dreamwork model is based on the educational and literary work of Rev. Jeremy Taylor. We meet twice each month: the first Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in members' homes; and the third Sunday after services in the Parish Hall, 12:30-2:30 p.m.
Leader: Paula Franklin

Interweave

Part social, part political, part educational, and part religious and spiritual, Interweave is an informal group of First Unitarian congregants who represent and support the ideas and issues of concern to members of our congregation who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered, and their allies and friends. Interweave accomplishes its mission through a changing array of interests, both inside and outside the congregation, including hosting and co-sponsoring special events, supporting local lobbying and activist organizations, and providing leadership for the June Pride service at our church.

Post Sermon Discussions

When a topic lends itself to further exploration, a small group gathers after Sunday services for an informal discussion.
