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. 

Spring 2021 Speaker Schedule

Pub Theology

Pub Theology is led by Pastor Gary and meets on the last Tuesday of the month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Zoom.  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. Invite a friend and bring your questions about God and faith. Beer, Conversation and God! 

Please contact Pastor Gary Bunge or sign up for weekly announcements ​for the ZOOM meeting code

New Member Classes

New member classes are held in the spring and fall as demand requires. New members meet with the pastoral staff for a "Lutheran Refresher" for those new to the Lutheran faith (as well as those wishing a refresher), and are welcomed to the congregation on "New Member Sundays." For further information please contact the church office.
