Coffee, Conversation & More

coffeeandconvLooking for a regular opportunity to explore religious and social justice topics with other UUs? Have you found it difficult to attend such events in the evening due to travel, work, and family obligations? Representatives from five of our church committees – Environmental Action, Library, Religious Education, Social Action, and Welcoming – have collaborated to offer an ongoing program of Sunday morning adult discussions and education to respond to these needs.

Coffee, Conversation & More is a regularly scheduled program that provides ongoing opportunities for adults to interact with other UUs on a flexible but regular basis outside of the worship hour. It encourages wider and more inclusive attendance that reflects the diversity of ages and stages of life in our congregation. These Sunday activities allow us all to get to know each other and to bring new folks into the family more quickly.

Sunday morning Coffee, Conversation & More meets during the church year:

  • The program runs on the 2nd and 4th Sundays from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. in the Romer Room, with childcare available.
  • Individual committees are responsible for specific sessions scheduled into the general calendar.
  • Announcements of specific topics are provided each month in the newsletter, with weekly reminders in the enews, and advance posting on the website. This regular publicity helps everyone plan to attend.
  • The committee sponsoring a particular Sunday takes responsibility for preparing the coffee, getting volunteers to bring some sort of food, and arranging childcare with the Director of Religious Education.
