ZoomForum (Sunday Forum)

ULC is blessed by the richness and diversity of its members, many of whom have ties to Michigan State University, state government, and a variety of local and national organizations. Each Sunday from September to mid-May, members have the opportunity to hear presentations and participate in discussions on a wide variety of topics.

During the pandemic, and while our building is closed, we gather via Zoom for ZoomForum (Sunday Forum) after our Sunday Facebook Live service. Grab a cup of coffee after the service is over to enjoy a few minutes of informal conversation prior to the presentation. Zoom invitation meeting codes will be shared in our weekly announcement emails.

Pub Theology

Pub Theology is led by Pastor Gary and meets on the first Tuesday of the month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at Harrison Roadhouse* (unless there is a home basketball game in which case the group will meet on the second Tuesday). Pub Theology is an informal discussion focused on four or five questions each week that often revolve around a specific theme. This is a great time for fellowship and to discuss matters of the faith. Come and invite a friend and bring your questions about God and faith. Beer, Conversation and God!

*Currently Pub Theology is meeting via ZOOM. Please contact Pastor Gary Bunge for the ZOOM meeting code
