Silent Reading Club
2025-12-02 18:00 - 20:00 | Cummings Room
Looking for a quiet, cozy place to read — and a community that celebrates the joy of reading for its own sake? Join us for the Secret Readers Society Silent Reading Club, our monthly gathering for anyone who loves books, stories, or simply the idea of setting aside intentional time to read.
We settle in between 6:00 and 6:15 p.m., find our favorite spots, and then enjoy 30 minutes of peaceful, silent reading together. Bring whatever you like — print, digital, or audio (with headphones). No required book, no assigned pages, no pressure. Just you, your book, and a room full of fellow readers doing the same.
Afterward, we spend a little time sharing what we’re reading, what we hope to read next, or how we’re building a reading life that nourishes us. There’s a monthly reading prompt for inspiration, but participation is entirely optional.
All are welcome (as long as a 30-minute attention span is doable!). Everyone reads whatever they want. And yes — there are usually homemade treats and hot water for tea or coffee.
Come discover the quiet magic of reading in community. We wrap up organically, always by 8:00 p.m.
Shhh…bring a book, and join the Society.

Lisa Conger Poetry Reading & Book Signing
2025-12-07 13:00 - 14:30 | Chapel
Looking for a heart-warming way to spend a December afternoon? Join us as we celebrate our very own resident poet, Lisa Conger, and the release of her beautiful new poetry collection, Paper Boat.
Lisa will be giving a reading from her book, sharing the stories and inspirations behind her poems, and signing copies afterward. Paper Boat will be available for purchase for $20, and in true Lisa fashion, a portion of each sale will be generously donated back to the church. It’s a lovely opportunity to support a gifted UUCS artist and the mission of our community.
And since it all falls on the same day as our Annual Cookie Sale, you can pick up a plate (or two!) of holiday treats and then head into the Chapel for poetry, warmth, and connection.
Come for the cookies, stay for the poetry — or come for the poetry, stay for the cookies!
Either way, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating Lisa and supporting UUCS.
