All programs take place at Unitarian House from 7:30 to 9:30 in the evening, unless otherwise noted.

Additional events will be announced in the Window as they are scheduled.

As a courtesy to our facilitators, we ask that you register in advance for all programs (whether by sign-up sheet or by phone), preferably no later than the Sunday before the course is to begin.

Small Groups and Regular Events

The Music Committee again has organized a series of Music Modules on various topics, which you can sign-up for. The Womynspirit Circle meets on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of most months at 7:30 pm. Let It Be a Dance, our congregational dance, is usually held on the final Saturday of the month at 7 pm. The dates and contact information for these events are regularly publicized in The Window.

We have three Chalice Circles, each meeting about once a month in a facilitator's home. They are led by Carol Dickey, Mag Horman, and Lee Ogg. If you're interested in joining a Chalice Circle, please contact the Minister.
