Come brainstorm with us! Fellowship events are fun and valuable ways for members and friends to enjoy one another’s company and get connected.
At this gathering, we will share ideas for events and begin to create teams to carry them out. It will be fun- and there will be snacks. If you need childcare, contact Blair in the office by 5/15- office@uubn.org– and we will make that happen. Join us! – Rev. Rebecca and Rain Johnson for the Fellowship Team

Exploring Membership
Mondays, June 1 & 15, 6-8 p.m.
Have you been thinking about church membership? Do you want to know more about becoming a member, our faith and our church? You’re invited to join us for our two-session Exploring Membership class from 6-8 p.m. on Mondays, June 1 and 15, in the Walker Room.

We’ll go into depth about the history of UUism, our theology, how we conduct our church business, our community events, and the advantages of becoming a member. Each session covers different material so we encourage you to attend both classes. If you can only attend one, we can provide material from the other class. If you’re not interested in membership now but want more information about us, we invite you to attend, too.

Although we’ll meet in person, you can attend virtually on Zoom; contact the church office manager at office@uubn.org or 309-828-0235 if this is your preference. If having child care would enable you to attend these classes, please contact the office manager by May 18.
If you decide to become a member, you’ll have the opportunity to sign the membership book at our June 28 Sunday service. Then we’ll celebrate with cake afterward!

Registration is not required but requested. Please contact the church office or Kathy Packard, Membership Team leader, at kjpbooks@frontier.com.

First Thursdays, 6:00-8:00pm, Fell Room
Bring a snack to share if you like.
We’re starting a new group! Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, intersex, asexual, agender, and aromantic folx ages 18 and over are invited to gather each month on the 1st Thursday.
This group is by and for Queer people, and we hope that Queer and Questioning UUs will join in! Our non-Queer allies are warmly encouraged to share this invitation with LGBTQIA+ UUs but asked not to attend. This isn’t meant to exclude allies but to allow a secure & safe space for Queer folk to build community & organize intentionally with other Queer folk.
What will we be doing? We’re not sure yet. We’re prioritizing building community in a safe and accessible environment. Hosting duties will rotate among participants.
Email (LRE@uubn.org) or text (309.531.2594) Terina to be added to the update list. Let her know if there’s something that would help you participate (including childcare).
Because this is a church group, participants agree to the church’s covenant (https://uubn.org/wp/mission-statement/) and to follow the process for right relations when covenant is broken (pg 61 https://uubn.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/UUBN-Policies-Procedures-Handbook-Final-01.15.25-Google-Docs.pdf).
