Fosters the enrichment of our spiritual and intellectual lives and strengthens our sense of community. Participation is open to our members, friends and guests.

Courses and Lectures change each Spring and Fall. Regular Sunday offerings usually include:
· Spiritual Conversations - this group uses poetry and other sacred writings to initiate a time of reflection and conversation about personal spiritual experiences. More
· Adult Forum - thirty-minute video-lecture series followed by facilitated discussion. More
· Adult Discussion Group - participants exchange information, share knowledge and express personal views in spontaneous group discussions on a variety of religious, spiritual and ethical issues. Handouts are provided each week to spark discussion. More
· HUUmanist Group - This group meets weekly to seek in-depth exploration of the intellectual, moral, and spiritual bases of both the long UU tradition of non-theist religious humanism and of the humanist content in the even longer traditions of the theist religions of our culture. There will be critical discussion supplemented by readings and/or audio-visual presentations. Everyone is welcome. More

Other offerings include:
· Spirituality Book-Discussion Group - gathers to discuss books which explore the history and current influences of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Eastern religious beliefs, books which encourage spiritual enlightenment and exploration, and books which help us understand the role religion plays in the contemporary culture. The facilitated discussions center on how the concepts in the books apply to our lives as Unitarian Universalists.
· UU Buddhist Meditation Group - This weekly, hour-long meeting includes gathering, an inspirational reading, meditation, tea, and fellowship.
· Joseph Campbell Conversations – monthly meeting to discuss the works of Joseph Campbell; open to anyone interested in Campbell’s work; no prior knowledge is required and seldom is advanced reading important. More

Volunteers teach curricula to introduce our young Unitarian Universalists to the stories, ideas and principles of our liberal religious tradition. Children and youth freely explore all facets of liberal religion and clarify the personal values that will guide and support them as they become caring and compassionate adults. Together, we create a place where we may make new friends and grow in a nurturing faith-community. Our program serves infants through high school youth and draws upon the diversity of our members to enrich our children’s religious journey.

The Parent Leadership Network engages all parents with children enrolled in RE classes and actively supports the work of our cooperative program. All families registering children automatically become members of the Parent Leadership Network, joining in fellowship with others to support classes and special events by donating time and energy. sumfun! is our week-long liberal religious summer day camp for children and teens 5 years of age through current 7th-graders. Swimming, arts, crafts, field trips and a carnival are just some of the activities. Adult volunteers are welcome. More
