Sunday Forum (Weekly Speaker Series)

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.

We gather in person and via Zoom after our Sunday service at 11:30am ET. Grab a cup of coffee after the service is over to enjoy a few minutes of informal conversation prior to the presentation.

Speakers and topics are communicated to our members each week via our weekly announcements email, and schedules once available will be posted below. To subscribe to our weekly emails, please click below.
