Dialogue From Your Home
This is our on-going virtual talkback series that continues online after every one of Reverend Josh’s sermons. Whether you want to read along, post your thoughts, and/or engage in dialogue about the topic, you are welcome to join this group. Request a password from Annie, our office administrator, to get access to the discussion. (email: uuse153@sbcglobal.net)
Small Group Ministry
The dual purposes of Small Group Ministry are intimacy and ultimacy—getting to know the group members at a deeper level and discussing questions of spiritual growth. Each group meets once a month and is made of up of between five and ten people, one of whom is a designated leader. A meeting is two hours long and includes opening and closing words, check-in, and a discussion of a topic of the group’s choice. There are currently about ten groups and more can be formed.
