At UUCS, Adult Enrichment programs are one way we live into our mission to Create Community, Find Meaning, and Work for Justice. These offerings invite us to go deeper—intellectually, socially, ethically, and spiritually—while learning and growing together.

Drawing on resources from many diverse selections, as well as the wisdom and talents of our own members, we strive to create experiences that are meaningful, relevant, and enriching for adults of all ages and stages of life.

Many of our groups currently meet on Zoom, making it easy to join from home. Look for the weekly Zoom links email sent to UUCS Members and Friends, or reach out to the group host for details.

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.
