There are a lot of interesting groups and activities to get involved with at UUCA. The following list includes most of our groups, many of which do not require membership to attend. Group meetings are scheduled on the church Calendar. If you don’t see a topic of interest, please contact the church Administrator to see how you can start a group!

Caregivers Support Group (Ilona Sena)
This group is for members who are coping or caring for family members with a wide variety of physical and neurological illnesses, some of which are Alzheimer's/Dementia, Parkinson's, MS, and other internal medical problems.  Members share their experiences and offer advice about similar situations in a compassionate, supportive environment.

Coming of Middle Age (formerly Young Adults) (Adam Griffith)
Age centered (18-35), not age exclusive. Open to singles, and couples with or without children, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or race. We meet for Sunday brunch on the first Sunday of the month, gather for potlucks at each other's homes, and organize outings for the group.

Dinners for Eight (Ann Bury)
In August of each year, couples (or two singles) sign up to participate in four potluck dinners held in homes during the coming year. Each couple hosts one of the four dinners and will have an opportunity to dine with different couples each time.

Fibre Friends (Maurie McClure)

This group of handworkers meets on the first Saturday of the month, usually in Sandburg Hall.

Bring favorite patterns and yarn to share for knitting, crochet, or any of your current projects.
