Activities
The following is a list of some of the activities at UUFS.
To find out more about them and how to join, please attend a Sunday Service.
- Book Group
-
Meeting at 10 a.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month except December, this group has
spirited discussions of books, both fiction and nonfiction, nominated by those who attend.
Meetings are held at members' homes. The UUFS Newsletter calendar lists the book to be
discussed and the host for the month's meeting.
- Choir
-
The UUFS Choir is a wonderful group of people who lift their voices in song
to practice every Thursday night at 7 pm, and then usually sing the 1st and
3rd Sundays of every month during the morning church services (warm up at 9
am). It is volunteer and anyone is welcome to join, no matter how much or
little musical training you have previously had. We sing music from a
variety of cultures, faiths, and musical genres, and aim to interact with
the church and community at large through shared participation at cultural
events and services. We are growing in spirit and numbers and are open to
more musical ideas and elements. Please join us for fellowship and fabulous
music in a loving, supportive environment. We'd love to have you make music
with us!!!
For additional information see the
Choir web page.
- Covenant Group
-
A UUFS Covenant Group is a group of six
to twelve members and experienced facilitators who meet twice a month. Covenant Group meetings have a
worship service format, the heart of which is sharing our lives. The goals of the Group are to care
for its members, to encourage spiritual growth, and to meet the needs for affirmation and acceptance.
Spiritual growth includes deepening our understanding of Unitarian Universalist principles and values
and expressing them in the community. Covenant Groups rely on shared leadership, confidentiality, and
each member’s commitment to participate.
In addition to regular meetings, each Covenant Group periodically performs a service project. Please
note that a Covenant Group is not a discussion group or a therapy group.
(In some UU congregations the concept of Covenant Groups is known as Small Group Ministry.)
- Meditation Group
-
The Meditation Group is a small group that meets Thursday mornings in the chapel to meditate
and share tea and thoughtful conversation. The group is open to all regardless of experience.
- Men’s Group
-
The Men’s Group meets twice a month for discussion and conversation.
The purpose of the group is to provide an opportunity for socializing, informal discussion and support.
A meeting of the group consists of a check in time during which members share what is happening
in their lives, a social time with a snack, tea and coffee and then a previously chosen topic is
discussed. The group meets in member homes. All sharing is confidential.
- Women’s Spirituality Circle
-
A small group of women meet the second and fourth Mondays of each month for
socializing, discussions, and support to encourage spiritual growth. The
meetings are held at members’ homes. All sharing is confidential.
