Fellowship

We  gather for chili cook-offs, Advent dinners, Lenten Soup & Bread meals,
​picnics and congregational meals both large and small.
Here are some of the many examples of how we share fellowship with one another.

ULC Book Club

Members meet monthly during the academic year in the ULC Library. During COVID-19 we meet on the third Thursday of the month at 10 a.m. via Zoom to share fellowship and discuss the selected book. 

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett is the November Book Club. Told through multiple perspectives across decades, the Vanishing Half centers on identical twins who run away from their hometown in Louisiana in the 1950’s and ultimately find themselves living very different lives - one Black, one passing for White.
 
Looking well beyond race, this novel considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person’s decisions, desires and expectations. It explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins.  (goodreads.com summary)
 
The next meeting is on Thursday, Nov.19 at 10 a.m. (One week earlier due to Thanksgiving). Depending on Covid  19  restrictions, we will either meet via Zoom or as a small group in the church. Please contact Book Club leader Judy Kindel for Zoom meeting code and to learn more. All are welcome!
