Women's Group - The Women's Group is open to women of all ages and backgrounds and is open to those who do not happen to be members of the Fellowship.

Women's Group meets every first and third Sunday from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Meetings include time for informal socializing, brief rituals, group discussion of topics, educational programs, and a variety of activities. Those who are interested in doing so take turns planning the activities.

Topics and activities vary.

This group has no elected officers or dues, though it may occasionally ask for donations to pay for materials.

Contact: Dolores Nabors dnabors11@hotmail.com.


Men's Group - meets the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Office at the Fellowship. The meetings generally include an update of any personal issues affecting those attending in an atmosphere of sharing and support.

Normally, lively discussion breaks out on issues of the day with insightful analysis always present. At most meetings, in true UU style, someone shows up with refreshments. See the Men's Group Page.

Special activities have included presentation of a Father's Day program for the UU Fellowship and a bar-b-que.

A nutritious snack is provided during RE classes each Sunday. Please let us know of any food allergies your child may have by indicating them on the RE Registration Form.

Registration - All children participating in RE must have a registration form signed by a parent or guardian. This is to ensure the safety of each child as well as make sure your family is notified about RE activities. There is no charge to register your child in church school; the cost of the RE program is included in the total church budget.

Young Religious Unitarian Universalists YRUU (Youth Group)

The youth group meets to plan social action projects, go to rallies, and have fun. Students who are 13˝ or older and in the ninth grade or above may participate in weekend rallies. Rallies take place all over the district and are a great opportunity to meet other UU youth with similar interests and values.

Volunteer Opportunities - A Cooperative Program

The RE Program for Children & Youth is a cooperative program that depends on the efforts of many adult volunteers. Please consider helping the RE program by serving on the RE Committee, teaching or assisting a class or workshop, donating supplies, helping maintain the playground, keeping the supply closet organized, planning special events, or any other way that you’d like to help.

We are here to help!

Please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
