Social Activities

Social activities help foster friendships and emotional support among members and friends of the congregation. Contact Cathy Taylor for more information regarding social activities, including:

Upcoming Events

On Friday, January 23rd, 11:45 a.m., we'll go to the Haddin Humanities
Forum for a talk by Jessica Dallow. The topic is "Art and Art History".
A light lunch is served. This is a free event. The program is held on
the 2nd floor of UAB's Sterne Library. Parking can be a problem.
Carpool from Bob and Cathy Taylor's home in Crestwood if you wish.
Contact Cathy at chair_social@uucbham.org.

Family Outing! On Saturday, February 21st, Susan Putnam will lead
a group to the Anniston Museum of Natural History, and we'll eat at "Top of the River" afterwards. More details later.

Daytimers--On Tuesday March l7th, we'll go to the Southern Museum
of Flight
and eat lunch at VJ's on the Runway afterwards. Buck Willians will coordinate that trip. More details later.

First Sunday Lunch

On the first Sunday of each month (unless otherwise announced) we sit down to a potluck lunch after the service. First-time visitors are our special guests. The rest of us bring a dish to share (or pay a few dollars, but we prefer that you bring food). Please join us and please sign up to help the kitchen committee, which sponsors this event, to clean up afterward.

Cottage Suppers!

Cottage Suppers are a great opportunity for members/friends (especially new ones!) to get to know more fine folks in our congregation.

Here's the way it works. You will sign up at the host home you wish to attend. The host provides hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and attendees bring the rest of the meal. When your host calls you, ask what you may bring. Sign up in the Social Activities Notebook on the side table in the sanctuary. This is a great way to get to know others in our congregation, and to share a delicious meal. We especially want to invite newcomers and visitors.

On Sat., Jan. 24th. we'll have Cottage Suppers. We have two host
homes, Carol Hovanec, and Beverly Nelson and Kim Allen. We would like to have one more host home. The host provides beverages and hors
d'oeuvres, and participants bring the rest of the meal. If you're
interested in hosting, contact Judy Deegan.

Need more info? Contact Judy Deegan, cottagesuppers@uucbham.org

Hiking

Hikers! If you're interested in a hiking group, please sign up in the
Social Activities Notebook again. The original sign-up sheet was misplaced. For further information, please contact Susan Putnam.

Ladies' Night Out:

Women, are you looking for a way to socialize with other UUs, but just can't find the time to organize something?  Well the Spiritual and Ethical Enrichment Committee has done the organizing for you.   All women are invited to get together for dinner and girl talk on the second Wednesday. Child care will be provided from 6:30 until 8:30 at the church.  Please meet at 6:30 , and after the kids are settled in, we will carpool to a nearby restaurant.   To make sure we have adequate childcare, please sign up in the Social Activities notebook located on the back table of the sanctuary or RSVP to childcare coordinator Melissa Hamley, childcare@uucbham.org.

Men, we aren't trying to keep you from having your own fun, so feel free to meet up at the church at 6:30 too and head off to a restaurant of your own choice.

Other Social Events

Past outings have included trips to the Anniston Museum of Natural History, the Warner-Westervelt Art Museum in Tuscaloosa, Barons Baseball games, the Cahaba Lily Festival and theater outings for plays at Terrific New Theater, Birmingham Festival Theater, Virginia Samford Theater and the Jewish Community Center plays.

If you have questions about any of these, contact Cathy Taylor, chair_social@uucbham.org (or chair_seec@uucbham.org for Woo-Hoo Wednesday).  Let's go together and share the fun!

Watch the calendar for details.
