Fellowship

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

ULC Book Club

Picture
Book Club will meet Thursday, Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. to discuss So Big by Edna Ferber. This book follows the life of Selina (Peake) DeJong. Selina’s father dies when she is 19 years old, and she must find a way to support herself. She leaves the Chicago city life and travels to rural High Prairie, IL to become a teacher. She marries, has a son and is widowed when her son is nine years old. She is thrust into the traditionally male world of truck farming in order to support herself and her son.

We welcome new members to our book club and would love to have you join us in person at ULC in the Fireside room. If you are not comfortable with meeting in person or have health concerns, we also provide a ZOOM link. If you would like to read the books along with us, but cannot make one or more meetings, we record the discussion and can provide you with an audio file of the meeting.
 
Beth will once again arrange for our book selection to be included on the book club table at Schuler’s Book Store. Purchase a copy of So Big from this table and receive a 20% discount on the book.

Looking ahead: In November we will discuss August Snow by Stephen Mack Jones and in January we will discuss The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. We do not meet in December.

We would love for you to join us! Please reach out to Beth Rahe  and Mary Kotnik to be added to our email list and stay informed about future book choices, ZOOM links and any changes in meeting times or venue.
