Ways to Connect
Adult opportunities for learning, deepening and connection
UU Values Camp Weekends
October 12-13, 2024 and April 12-13, 2025
Fellowship Camp Weekends provide an extended time for learning and connection. Each of these weekends will offer two tracks for adults as well as an opportunity for children to have fun camp time together.
Adult Learning, Connection, & Deepening Opportunities
Our ministers, staff, and volunteers offer classes, sessions, and social gatherings throughout the year. Those events will be listed on the page linked below (see button) as they arise. Sometimes these are one-time or just occasional events. Sometimes they lead to a longer-lasting group or program.
If you would like to offer something, complete the form linked here.
Small Groups
Small groups are one of the best ways to connect deeply with others at the Fellowship. To learn more about our small groups, click the button below.
We offer different types of groups:
- Journey Groups and Chalice Circles – These are facilitated groups who commit to meet monthly, together with the same group, for the program year (9 months, September to May). They do some pre-work in advance of each meeting and follow a meeting format that allows for deep discussion. Journey Groups follow a more focused process while Chalice Circles are a little less structured.
- Community Groups – These small groups meet regularly (usually monthly) to connect over shared identity, interests or values. They might do an activity together, or simply enjoy each other’s company. In addition, these groups are asked to support the Fellowship in whatever way works best for them, as well as provide a service project to the Fellowship or to the wider community once per year.
- Spiritual Practice Groups – These small groups meet regularly (usually monthly) to deepen a particular spiritual practice. In addition, these groups are asked to support the Fellowship in whatever way works best for them, as well as provide a service project to the Fellowship or to the wider community once per year.
If you would like to offer a group, the best way to get started is with an Adult Deepening & Connection Opportunity (see above).

Soup-er Saturday
(Formerly Soup Saturday)
First Saturday of each month, 5:00-6:00 pm CT (October – May) No Soup-er Saturday in December.
Join us at the Fellowship for an evening of potluck food, soup, friends, and conversation. We will need people to bring food (including vegetarian and vegan options), bread, maybe dessert… and to come hungry.
Please direct questions to Angie or Matt ([email protected] or [email protected]). If you’d like to bring a game to share, feel free! It’s a low-key evening of fun. Hope to see you there!
Tell Me More 
Join one of our ministers and a member of our Generosity & Engagement Ministries for an informal 90-minute session to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and this Fellowship. This is a great opportunity for newcomers to learn more, and longtimers to refresh their connection to the Fellowship and the larger UU tradition. Each session takes place after the 2nd service.
October 27 – with Rev. Christina
December 15 – with Rev. Hannah
February 16 – with Rev. Christina
April or May (TBA) – with Rev. Hannah
