Small Groups
If your group must cancel an in-person meeting at the church, please let us know as soon as you can about the cancellation. Email our Administrator. This helps us to steward and conserve our human and financial resources. Thank you.
Small Group Fair Coming Soon!
A tradition in the spirit of shared ministry and building community, the next First UU Small Group Fair will be held following worship on September 27, 2026. This is a great opportunity for both newcomers and longtime congregants to explore our diverse offerings and ways to engage and connect. The Small Group Fair takes place twice each year in coordination with the Pathways program (the next fair will be January 31, 2027).
All First UU-based small groups are invited to participate. In order to have space reserved for your group, your group must be congregation-based, open to new members, and register using the below link by Sunday, September 13 – this is not far away, so please talk to your groups now. If you do not RSVP, your group will not have space reserved at the Fair, and we want everyone to have a chance to participate, so if the group is unsure whether they’ve registered, please register again. Slots will be filled on a first-come first-served basis, and we will share more information with the groups shortly after the September 13 deadline.
Since there are two small group fairs each year (and because space is limited), discuss with your group whether you want to do both or just pick one fair in which to participate. If your group is closed for most of the year but welcomes new members once or twice per year, you would be able to participate in the fair that aligns with when you are welcoming new members. All First UU groups are asked to open to new members at least once each program year.
Finally, we will have a spot at the fair for prospective (not-yet-formed) groups to generate and gauge interest – so let us know if you want to start a group by contacting Rev. Anna We look forward to hearing from you and celebrating our vibrant community!
