The Adult Enrichment programs of UUCS are created to support the wider mission of the church to Create Community, Find Meaning and Work for Justice. Our programs are presented for adults to give us the chance to go deeper – intellectually, socially, ethically, and spiritually. Utilizing curriculum recommended by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the expertise of our community and individual members, our goal is to provide quality, relevant and meaningful experiences, instruction and discussion to our adult members.

Many of our groups are currently meeting on ZOOM. Please check your email for the weekly Zoom links email sent to UUCS Members and Friends or contact the meeting host for more information.

Recurring Events

Weekly Events:

Buddhist Meditation – Mondays at 6:30 p.m.

We now meet VIA ZOOM. Beginners and drop-ins are always welcome. Each class includes two meditation sessions, homework, discussion/questions, and reflection on the book, “Awaken Every Day” by Thubten Chodron, the abbess of Sravasti Abbey, though it is not necessary to have the book or to have read it.

Problem Solvers – Mondays at 10:00 a.m.

The Problem Solvers Group meets weekly VIA ZOOM, so bring your coffee and a snack. Because of the meeting time most members are retired. Topics are brought in by each of us. We discuss unsolvable issues and still we talk. We share information about events we’ve attended and those coming up. We are all engaged and active in life! Most are well read and educated. We talk about books read and share titles. Anywhere from 6 to 16 people show up each week. Usually there are 10–12. It is always interesting. A reminder is sent by email to the group.
