A simple smile, a helping hand, or a gentle word can make a difference in someone's day and even change their life. How a simple act may have a powerful impact. Join us this Sunday for coffee and conversation on this topic.

Unless you’re new to UUism, you probably know about our national organization, the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). But, did you know that there are other organizations related to UUs not officially part of the UUA? This Coffee & Conversation will introduce you to the many UU-related national organizations that exist and that you might have an interest in. There are two official affiliated groups, five theological affinity groups, and an abundance of covenanted communities and other groups related to our human interests. We’ll explore the possibilities.

We hear a lot about privilege. What does it mean? Why does it matter? As UUs, what are we called upon to do about our privilege (or lack thereof)? With the help of some guided questions Bill Jacobs will facilitate this Coffee & Conversation session. Come and listen deeply, or share your thoughts, or both.

Beneath the many roles we play - parent, partner, volunteer, caregiver, employee - who are we really? Join Jen Berry for an engaging Coffee & Conversations as we explore identity, purpose, and what it means to reconnect with ourselves beyond what we do for others. Come ready to listen, reflect, and share as much or as little as you’d like.

In 2003, Rev. William Sinkford challenged people to develop, "what you’d say when you’re going from the sixth floor to the lobby and somebody asks you, 'What’s a Unitarian Universalist?' You’ve got forty-five seconds." At this Coffee and Conversation, led by Susan Kaphammer, we'll consider possibilities for our own short answer when we are asked about Unitarian Universalism.

How do you know when you’ve done enough? Who decides what “enough” looks like? In a world that constantly encourages us to achieve more, do more, and be more, it can be difficult to recognize our own inherent worth.

Join us for a thoughtful Coffee & Conversations as we explore what it means to be enough. Through guided questions and shared stories, we’ll reflect on the expectations we place on ourselves, the messages we’ve received from others, and how we might begin to embrace ourselves, and one another, with greater compassion. Whether you come ready to share or simply to listen, your perspective is welcome. Coffee, conversation, and connection await.

On this Fourth of July weekend, join the conversation about our nation. In what is undeniably a negative time for many of us in our feelings about our country, let's lean into the positive: What founding concepts resonate with you? What signs of hope do you see? What have you done or plan to do to make the positive more real? Susan Kaphammer will provide some related readings and facilitate the conversation.
