We meet in room 4 to plan religious education programming for children and youth. All members are welcome to participate.

Forums are adult education programs concerning issues and concerns of NSUC members. They are presented in a discussion format, led by experts within the Congregation with occasional guest speakers. Most presenters will appear live but some will present to the audience via video teleconference from a remote location. There is not charge to attend.

The Sunday Night Men's Group is a spiritual support group. This is a closed meeting.

Unitarian Universalists talk a lot about ethics and social justice, though we do not always define what we mean by these ideas. Are we seeking fair social arrangements, or recognition of human rights, or perhaps happiness for the greatest number? This highly accessible course looks at the ways philosophers have thought about ethics and justice in terms both personal and public. Purchase a copy of Michael Sandel's Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? before the class begins.
