Adult Enrichment Programs
At UUCR several groups meet regularly. Some have a spiritual focus, some concentrate on service to UUCR, and others are more social in nature. Schedules for upcoming programs can be found in the latest issue of Quest, our congregational newsletter. A registration form is also available on-line.

Socrates Café
Socrates Café is a monthly philosophical discussion group using the Socratic method to explore life's “big questions”. Socrates Café meets on Saturday evenings, 7 - 9 PM. Registration is not required, nor is continued attendance. Open to members and nonmembers. See the Socrates Cafe page for upcoming dates.
Music Program
Our excellent adult choir practices on Thursday evening from 7:30 to 10 PM and performs several times per month. Benefit recitals and other special musical events are held occasionally.
Quilting Group
Meets on Wednesday evenings from January through mid-November. The annual quilt project is entered in the Montgomery County Fair competition, then raffled at our annual church bazaar. A second quilt for 2004, “Twelve Days of Christmas” (at right; click to enlarge), was made using fabric and patterns donated by Mariana Bell Warner, who attended UUCR during the 1970s.
Craft Group
Meets on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 in the Fellowship Hall. We work on individual and/or group projects and participate in the church's annual Bazaar. Join us for coffee and conversation and bring your own craft project.
Book Discussion Groups
There is an evening book group and a daytime group; each meets monthly. Each group selects eclectically from among fiction or non-fiction, classics or best-sellers, usually titles available at the public library. Newcomers are welcome!
Writers Circle
Group meets on Monday evenings and Wednesday mornings to provide an avenue for writers to share and grow together.
Lunch Bunch
A social group that meets once a month, each time at a different local restaurant.
WOFFers
“Walking Outdoors for Fun and Friendship.” This walking/hiking group meets every other Saturday morning in fall, early winter and spring and walks or hikes in different locations. Usually the group meets up at UUCR at 8:15 AM and carpools to the hike location.
Meditation
Half hour of Silent Meditation in Room 44 on Sunday from 9:15 AM to 9:45 AM (before 10 AM worship service)
All are welcome to participate in UUCR's open meditation sessions.
