Sunday, February 24 at 12:00pm in the Sanctuary

Would you like to strengthen your connections with others at UUFoM and enhance your participation in the Fellowship, while deepening your own spiritual life? Try a Covenant Group!

This will be an opportunity to try out the Covenant Group experience before deciding whether you want to join (or even facilitate) an ongoing group.  This sample session will include a focus reading, chalice lighting, a short check-in for each participant, and a discussion of the topic, followed by a brief check-out and closing reading.  Whether or not you decide to be part of an ongoing group, this session offers the possibility of learning something about yourself and each other!

A Covenant Group consists of up to ten people who gather around an interest, affinity, or activity to meet regularly over time for spiritual growth, community building, and congregational participation.  Group meetings follow a specified format, and each group is led by a trained facilitator who also participates in an ongoing facilitators’ group. The facilitator’s role is to help the group stay on track and accomplish its purpose.  Each group establishes covenants including ground rules for the group’s relationship and interaction, commitment to welcome new members to the group, and service to the Fellowship and the community.

If would like to consider facilitating a group or if you have questions, please contact Rev. Connie Grant at [email protected], or Sara Clavez, Covenant Group coordinator, at [email protected].

A light lunch will be provided for the February 24 Covenant Group Experience if you register by February 17.  Please register here!
