Listening from the Heart: Building a Network of Peer Support in Trying Times

Saturday, May 3rd, 12:30-2:30pm – Session II: Practicum Time with Amy

At the Fellowship, we deeply value compassionate connection, recognizing that in challenging times our greatest strength lies in how we care for each other. With this intention, we are forming a Pastoral Care Team—a dedicated group offering gentle listening, emotional support, and loving presence to members of our community when they most need to be heard, held, and comforted. To nurture and equip this team, we will offer a series of enriching classes, exploring essential skills for compassionate caregiving, skillfully led by Liesbet Bickett, Laura Phelan-Shahin & Amy Day.

Pathway to Membership

HUUF Lay-Minister Amy Day is offering a Pathway to Membership series, following our Sunday Services. Grab a snack and a warm hello inside the newly-revamped Coffee Hour, then head over to the multi-purpose room to learn more. This is a great opportunity for members, both new, considering, or longstanding, to come renew their understanding of our unique faith tradition, and weave themselves more deeply into the life and future of this community.

Community Song Circles

Usually first and third Fridays at 4pm at HUUF, with occasional scheduling changes. To stay up-to-date about any scheduling changes, email office@huuf.org to get on the song circle-specific email list.

“Group singing is a powerful catalyst for social change and community building. We sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment.” Maggie McKnight

Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song call forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright. Led by Maggie McKnight

Soul Matters Sharing Circle 

Soul Matters is a small group experience created for Unitarian Universalist congregations that includes spiritual exercises, inspirational readings and questions that encourage reflection on daily living that helps participants explore monthly themes in more depth.

 Open Sharing Circle 7-8:30 Every second Wednesday of the month in the HUUF Care Building. -No long-term commitment is necessary to engage here.  Come as you are and when you can. We welcome you.

Chalice Dinners

Many early spiritual and religious traditions emerged from simply breaking bread together – being in one another’s company and sharing conversation about the type of world we wish to live in and build collectively.

These groups form based on geography, so you can create mutual aid community in your neighborhoods. Groups commit to meeting at least six times with each other. Sign up by here
