Small Group Ministry
We are planning for a new worship season! and we hope you'll consider joining a covenant group, also known as a small group. Covenant groups are gatherings of 6 to 9 people who meet regularly (once or twice a month) to get to know one another and to discuss life's significant questions, spiritual or secular, serious or light. Meeting in small groups not only helps us develop closer ties with individuals but also nurtures our entire community. To hear from current UUSA members about their experience, click here.

We are planning on offering 4 small groups, beginning in October (2 will meet in person and 2 on Zoom). Update on 9/12: one Zoom group & one in person group are already full; we may try to create additional groups if there is enough interest expressed (so if you don't see a group that can work for you, do let us know).

Three groups will meet twice a month and one will meet once per month; meetings are usually 1.5 hrs long.

PLEASE RESPOND by EOD Sunday September 15 - we are forming groups now!

Let us know if you are interested! Questions: email or call Lisa Williams, Chair of Small Groups Ministry:  lbwindianview@gmail.com   /  (513) 325-5253

Interested? but these times don't work?
Let us know what *would* work for you. We'll keep you in mind and try to accommodate you as we can. Or, let us know here that you are willing to facilitate a small group!
Seeking belonging (but not a ministry)?
Other ongoing ways to connect:
Women's Circle meets the 2nd / 4th Thursday of the month at noon (no committment required).
Men's Breakfast held each Wednesday at 7 AM at Stables Restaurant in Hadley.

If you are interested in joining one of these more informal and conversational gatherings, please contact Pete or Sophie Rogers (petesailing@gmail.com or sophiesailing@gmail.com)

You can sign up for the Women's Circle by sending an email to: uusa-women+subscribe@uusocietyamherst.org 

And, there we also have a listserv up and running for members and friends engaging with social justice efforts. To subscribe, email: uusa-sjc+subscribe@uusocietyamherst.org

There will likely be other more 'informal' groups popping up - including a book group. Keep an eye on the Weekly Announcements! If you don't currently get those, email Lea: office@uusocietyamherst.org

Belonging can also be found in service to the congregation; many committees/advisory panels are hoping for more hands to make lighter their work. If you are interested in learning about the smaller bodies that sustain the work of our mission, please contact Lea, Rev Rachael or any member of the Board.
Thank you for submitting this form!
One of the facilitators will be in touch with you by mid-September. Groups will begin the first week of October.

We are all looking forward to finding continued connection together in the ways that we can this worship season!
