Drop In Covenant Group
Tuesday, October 1, 6:00-7:30, Irvin Room and Online

Our new Covenant Group is perfect for anyone who wants to work on their spiritual development but can’t commit to regularly attending monthly meetings. Using a monthly packet, participants will engage with one spiritual exercise and one reflective question each month. Come to the group prepared to share what you learned and to listen deeply to others.
This group will be facilitated by Rev. Rebecca. Gatherings are scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month. You’ll discuss the materials from the previous month (ie. on October 1, you’ll share your experiences with the September packet).
Email Terina (LRE@uubn.org) to be added to the email list for the materials and reminders.

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 from 7:00-9:00pm.
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).
