Fellowship & Support Groups
Our fellowship groups are open to all. Zoom links for virtual-only or multiplatform meetings can be found on our calendar.
Living by Heart
Mondays 1:30-3:30 pm
Virtual
Living by Heart gathers virtually every Monday for two hours to write, do art, and read and write poetry. We are open to all genders and abilities. Group founder Penny Hackett-Evans gave this definition of Living by Heart: “Living by Heart is trying to consistently identify and then live by a path that is closest to one’s heart, finding joy in creativity and community in which to share what is close to your heart.”

Founded in 1954, the BUC Alliance is the longest-standing social and service group at BUC. The Alliance organized and operated successful rummage sales and continues to support them. It has hosted a monthly luncheon speaker series and other church-sponsored activities. (For more Alliance history, read Carol Lee’s history of Alliance talk given at the December 3, 2024 holiday luncheon.) Alliance programs are held on the second Tuesdays, some at noon and some at 7:00 pm. Program dates and topics are listed in BUC communications.

Sharing Dinners
Second Saturday of the month from October-May
Sharing Dinners are potluck-style dinners held in congregants’ homes on the second Saturday of the month from October through May. Groups are randomly assembled from participants who sign up each month and are assigned to hosts who sign up each month. Once assembled, groups communicate directly on scheduling and menu planning. Sharing Dinners brings BUC members, friends, and newcomers together in a relaxed environment to get to know one another better and build community.
